NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN WHOLE OR IN PART INTO THE UNITED STATES, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, SOUTH AFRICA OR JAPAN 15 June 2010 F&C UK Select Trust PLC RESULT OF SHAREHOLDER ELECTIONS, RECLASSIFICATION OF ORDINARY SHARES AND SUSPENSION OF RECLASSIFIED SHARES Result of Elections under the Scheme Further to the announcement of recommended proposals for the reconstruction and winding-up of F&C UK Select Trust plc (the "Company") made on Thursday, 22 April 2010, the Directors announce that the result of Elections under the Scheme is as follows: • Elections for the Cash Option were made in respect of 42,223,925 Shares; and • Elections for the UKOF Option were made in respect of 7,056,036 Shares. Reclassification of Shares As a result of the Elections referred to above, 42,223,925 Ordinary Shares will be reclassified as Shares with "Cash" rights and 7,056,036 Shares will be reclassified as Shares with "UKOF" rights with effect from 6.00 p.m. on Monday, 21 June 2010. Applications have been made to the UK Listing Authority and the London Stock Exchange for the listing in respect of the Shares to be amended to provide for the listing of the Reclassified Shares. It is expected that such amendment will become effective from 7.30 a.m. on Tuesday, 22 June 2010 and that dealings in the Reclassified Shares will commence with effect from 8.00 a.m. on Tuesday, 22 June 2010. LAV per Share With effect from 6.00 p.m. on Friday, 11 June 2010, the Company's undertaking, cash and other assets (after taking into account the F&C Cost Contribution) have been allocated to the Liquidation Fund, the Cash Fund and the UKOF Fund on the basis described in the circular to the Company's shareholders dated 30 April 2010 (the "Circular"). Accordingly, as at 6.00 p.m. on Friday, 11 June 2010 the LAV per Reclassified Share was 84.26p. The LAV per Reclassified Share may change materially at the date on which the Scheme becomes effective (being Wednesday, 23 June 2010) as a result of, among others, changes in the value of the Company's investments. Furthermore, as it is intended that the assets appropriated to the Cash Fund will, be realised prior to the Effective Date, the LAV of a Share with "Cash" rights and the LAV of a Share with "UKOF" rights may diverge over that period to the Effective Date. The LAV per Share with "Cash" rights and the LAV per Share with "UKOF" rights for the purpose of calculating entitlements under the Scheme is expected to be announced on Wednesday, 23 June 2010. In view of the allocations to the Funds, the Company has ceased, with immediate effect, daily announcements of the NAV per Share. Sus
