Independent Voting Advisors ISS, Glass Lewis and PIRC all recommend
shareholders vote:

 

FOR the re-election of the independent Board members; and

 

AGAINST Saba's proposed nominees

 

The Board of Edinburgh Worldwide Investment Trust plc (the "Company" or
"EWIT") notes the publication of the voting recommendations from independent
voting advisors ISS, Glass Lewis and PIRC in relation to the Company's
forthcoming Annual General Meeting ("AGM") on 30 April.

 

All three independent advisors have recommended that shareholders VOTE IN
FAVOUR of all Board resolutions, including the re-election of all five
independent directors and VOTE AGAINST the three resolutions proposed by Saba
to appoint Gabriel Gliksberg, Jassen Trenkow and Michael Joseph as directors
of the Company. This is consistent with the unanimous recommendation of the
Company's independent Board.

 

Jonathan Simpson-Dent, Chair of Edinburgh Worldwide commented: "We welcome
the recommendation of ISS, Glass Lewis and PIRC who all advise that
shareholders vote in favour of the Board's resolutions and against the
resolutions tabled by Saba. It's now critical that all shareholders turn out
and vote to avoid Saba taking control."

 

The AGM will take place on 30 April at 12:00 noon at the offices of Baillie
Gifford & Co, Calton Square, 1 Greenside Row, Edinburgh EH1 3AN.
Shareholders are reminded that platforms may have voting deadlines as early as
24 April. Platform deadlines are as follows:
