Result of General Meeting and Merger Completion 
 
18 May 2012 
 
This announcement is made by Blue Planet Worldwide Financials Investment Trust 
plc ("the Company") in connection with the proposed merger of the Company with 
Blue Planet International Financials Investment Trust plc ("International") and 
Blue Planet Financials Growth & Income Investment Trusts Nos (1- 10) plc ("G& 
I") to be completed pursuant to schemes of reconstruction under Section 110 of 
the Insolvency Act 1986 ("Schemes") whereby the Company and G&I will be placed 
in members' voluntary liquidations and will transfer all of their assets and 
liabilities to International, details of which were contained in the Company's 
circular to shareholders ("the Circular") dated 26 March 2012. 
 
The board is pleased to announce that at the general meeting of the Company 
held on 18 May 2012, the resolution to approve the Company being placed in 
liquidation, appoint the liquidators and cancel the listing of the Company's 
shares, as set out in the Circular, was duly passed on a show of hands and with 
5,559,609 (99.18%) of proxy votes received being in favour (or at the 
chairman's discretion). 
 
A copy of the resolution passed at the above meeting will shortly be available 
for inspection at the National Storage Mechanism (www.hemscott.com/nsm.do) and 
a copy of this announcement will also be uploaded on to the Company's website 
(www.blueplanet.eu). 
 
As the Board advised shareholders on 11 May 2012, the merger is subject to the 
passing of a resolution by International shareholders at a general meeting 
which is expected to be convened on or around 13 June 2012. This resolution 
will approve the restructuring of International's share capital and split each 
of its 50p ordinary shares into a 1p ordinary share and a 49p deferred share. 
In the interim, therefore, the Company's liquidators have appointed Blue Planet 
Investment Management Ltd to continue to manage the Company's assets. 
 
As part of the Schemes, the suspension of the listing of the Company's shares 
took place at 7.30am on 27 April 2012 and the cancellation of the listing of 
the Company's shares is expected to take place from the commencement of trading 
on 20 June 2012.
