Aberdeen New Thai Investment Trust PLC Board is proposing to shareholders a final dividend per Ordinary share of 11.0 pence. When taken together with the newly introduced interim dividend paid in November 2018 of 7.0 pence (2018 - nil), the total dividends per share for the year amount to 18.0 pence (2018 - final dividend paid only of 11.1 pence). Paying out the majority of the Company's earnings in keeping with its dividend policy together with the previously communicated move to charge a higher proportion of investment management fees and loan interest to capital means this represents an increase of 62.2% on last year. The total dividend for the year of 18.0 pence represents a yield of 3.3% using the 28 February 2019 share price of 552.0 pence. If approved at the Annual General Meeting ("AGM") on 25 June 2019, the final dividend will be paid on 28 June 2019 to shareholders on the register as at 31 May 2019. The ex-dividend date will be 30 May 2019.

Senior Independent Director ("SID"), Clare Dobie, is not standing for re-election as a Director at the AGM and will retire at its conclusion. Clare will be succeeded as Senior Independent Director by Andy Pomfret.
