Dividend Declaration Alliance Trust PLC announces the declaration of a first interim dividend for the year ending 31 December 2020 of 3.595 pence per share payable on 30 June 2020 to shareholders on the register on 5 June 2020, the ex-dividend date is 4 June 2020. This represents a 3% increase on last year’s first interim dividend.Gregor Stewart, Chairman of the Trust, said: “In our Annual Report, published in March, we highlighted the fact that we have now increased our dividend for 53 years in a row. The Board recognises the importance of rising dividends to our shareholders, particularly at difficult times like these when so many companies are cutting or cancelling their dividends to protect their balance sheets. We are pleased that our progressive dividend policy has been overwhelmingly endorsed by shareholders at our Annual General Meeting earlier today. The Trust has built up strong revenue reserves from which it can pay dividends when there is a shortfall in income from our portfolio. We will, should it be necessary to do so, use these reserves to supplement this year’s and future dividend payments. Even though we anticipate that our income will drop this year, we intend to continue our record of annual dividend growth into a 54th year.” Enquiries: Alliance Trust PLC Telephone: 01382 938320Fiona Harris Sarah Gibbons-Cook Quill PR 020 7466 5050

Alliance Trust PLC – Proposed withdrawal AGM ResolutionFurther to the Company’s announcement on 13 March 2020 regarding publication of the Notice of Meeting for the Annual General Meeting on Thursday 23 April 2020 at 11.00 a.m. (the “AGM”), the Board announces that it proposes to withdraw resolution number 12 concerning the conversion of its Merger Reserve into a distributable reserve (the “Capital Reduction”).The proposed Capital Reduction requires both shareholder and court approval. As a result of the current COVID-19 outbreak, the court is presently closed to all but urgent business. It is not known when court time will be secured to consider the Company’s proposal when the court re-opens. Due to anticipated pressure on the court to consider business critical matters when it re-opens, the Board proposes to withdraw the resolution from this year’s AGM. The Board does however expect to put a similar resolution forward at the Company’s AGM in April 2021 after which, court approval will be sought.The proposed withdrawal of resolution 12 does not otherwise affect the validity of the Notice of Meeting, the proxy form or any proxy votes already submitted.For further information please contact:Alliance Trust PLC Tel. +44 (0)1382 938320
Alliance Trust PLC – Annual General Meeting (AGM) 23 April 2020 - Update on arrangementsThe Trust regards the AGM as an important way to maintain engagement with shareholders. We therefore regret that in light of recent Government mandatory measures in relation to social distancing to reduce the transmission of COVID -19, shareholders are advised that they will not now be able to attend the Trust’s AGM. Shareholders who wish to register their votes on the resolutions to be put to the AGM are urged to submit a proxy prior to the meeting.The measures introduced by the Government prohibit travel unless absolutely essential and make it illegal, except for very limited purposes, to hold meetings attended by more than two people. For that reason, the Trust’s AGM cannot take place in its usual format. The Board has decided that the AGM will comprise only the formal business of the meeting. * Questions for the Board should be pre-submitted and will be answered directly and before the meeting. If any shareholder wishes a copy of all of the questions and answers, please contact us (contact details below). * The meeting will be convened with the minimum necessary attendees. Only one Director together with the Company Secretary, both shareholders, will attend the meeting. No other shareholders will be admitted. * All votes will be on a poll and the results announced immediately after the meeting as normal.As the original venue for the meeting is now closed, the AGM will take place at our registered office at River Court, 5 West Victoria Dock Road, Dundee, DD1 3JT.Despite these exceptional times the Board wishes to maintain engagement with shareholders. A presentation by Willis Towers Watson (WTW), our Investment Manager detailing the Trust’s performance for 2019 and an update to the end of March 2020 can now be found on our website at www.alliancetrust.co.uk/navigating-the-coronavirus-crisis. This presentation is equivalent to that which would have been presented by WTW at our AGM. A short presentation from the Chairman, including the results of the AGM, will be posted on our website after the meeting. Our intention is to hold an investor forum in Dundee later in the year giving shareholders an opportunity to meet with Directors, and representatives from our Investment Manager who will discuss investment performance and outlook – further details will be provided on our website.Although shareholders will not be able to attend the AGM, they are encouraged to vote and can do so online using the information on the Form of Proxy they received; votes can also be submitted by post by completing the Proxy Form and returning it to our registrars or via Crest (more detail on how to vote can be found on our website at www.alliancetrust.co.uk/voting). If shareholders have any queries on how they can vote, or they wish to submit questions this can be done in the following ways: * By email: to investor@alliancetrust.co.uk * By phone: call the Executive team on 01382 938320 * By post: to the Trust at River Court, 5 West Victoria Dock Road, Dundee DD1 3JT.If it becomes necessary to make any further changes to these arrangements, we will keep shareholders updated of changes on our website www.alliancetrust.co.uk and will make an announcement through the Stock Exchange.Alliance Trust PLC Tel. +44 (0)1382 938320
