Proposed Return of Capital

The Board of Invesco Perpetual UK Smaller Companies Investment Trust PLC (the "Company") announces that the Board intends to bring forward proposals after the upcoming annual general meeting to offer shareholders an elective return of capital for up to 10 per cent of the Company's issued share capital.

The Board is considering options for the structure of the return of capital, which may include an elective dividend. The pricing of the return of capital is expected to be at the prevailing NAV per share less 2.5 per cent., in order to defray the costs of such an exercise.

The Board will be writing to shareholders as soon as reasonably practical with further details.
