The Board of Martin Currie Global Portfolio Trust plc announced that it has entered into an unsecured three-year £10 million sterling term revolving loan facility agreement with The Royal Bank of Scotland International Limited ("RBSI"). The interest rate will be variable and calculated at a rate of 1.55% over the Sterling Overnight Index Average. The Company's existing loan of £30 million from RBSI will mature on 23 November 2023 and will be repaid in full on that day.

The Company has agreed to draw down the full amount available under the new £10 million facility on the same day and for an initial period of six months. The Company's debt will therefore reduce from £30 million to £10 million and the new loan will represent approximately 4.1% of the net assets of the Company.
