   Alliance Trust PLC -- Annual General Meeting (AGM) 23 April 2020 - 
Update on arrangements 
 
   The 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 
https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=vBPhKS0mtF8OVa8jxEkMVHxa38BtKJFG9xlZjNZ17qf4l-mSZh9bH_hlL5tARt65_bdpzzmpY1DHg0umVLARtYQXtcNk1HKFrq2NLehoTXBfudlyVTEGsgEBcpyD8YsD

they can vote, or they wish to submit questions this can be done in the 
following ways: 
 
 
   -- By email: to mailto:investor@alliancetrust.co.uk 
      investor@alliancetrust.co.uk

   -- By post: to the Trust at River Court, 5 West Victoria Dock Road, Dundee

arrangements, we will keep shareholders updated of changes on our 
website
