Additional Listing

TR European Growth Trust PLC (the "Company") has made an application to the UK Listing Authority for a blocklisting of 1,000,000 ordinary shares of 12.5p each in the Company (the "Shares") to be admitted to the premium segment of the Official List and to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange.

The Company has seen strong demand for its Shares over the last 12 months which has been reflected in the Shares rerating to a premium to net asset value. The Company therefore intends to pursue an issuance programme through its corporate broker, Winterflood Securities Limited, with a view to managing the Company's premium to net asset value. Any Shares issued under the issuance programme will only be issued at a premium to net asset value (net of costs) and will be accretive to existing shareholders.

The Shares issued under the blocklisting will be issued pursuant to the Company's issuance programme to meet excess market demand for the Shares. The net proceeds from the issue of new Shares will be invested in accordance with the Company's investment policy.

The blocklisting is expected to become effective at 8:00 a.m. on 14 September 2017.
