Jupiter European Opportunities Trust plc (the 'Company')
Result of Annual General Meeting
Following the Annual General Meeting of the Company, which was held earlier today, the Board is pleased to announce that all ordinary and special resolutions put to shareholders were passed, with the exception of resolution 14 (disapplication of pre-emption rights). Resolution 14 was not put to the meeting.
As stated in the announcement issued on 2 November 2015 under RNS 1799E, the Board intends to convene a separate General Meeting, to be held later in November 2015, at which disapplication of pre-emption rights in respect of no more than ten per cent. of the Company's issued share capital will be sought. If this resolution is passed the Company's placing programme will be reinstated.
In accordance with the Company's existing practice, any new shares issued pursuant to the placing programme would only be issued at a premium to their estimated Net Asset Value at the time of the issue pursuant to such authority.
Details of the number of proxy votes cast for, against and withheld will shortly be published on the Company's web site at www.jupiteram.com/JEO.
A copy of the Company's Annual Report & Accounts for the year ended 31 May 2015, which contains the full text of the resolutions in the Notice of Annual General Meeting, was submitted to the National Storage Mechanism on 21 September 2015 and is available for inspection at www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.
