M&G Credit Income Investment Trust plc

Result of Placing and WRAP Retail Offer

The Board of M&G Credit Income Investment Trust plc (“MGCI” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the successful completion of the placing (the “Placing”) and the WRAP retail offer (the “WRAP Retail Offer”) (the Placing and WRAP Retail Offer together, the “Fundraising”), raising gross proceeds of £6.3million.

The Company will issue, subject to Admission (defined below), a total of 6,647,969 new ordinary shares of 1 pence each in the capital of the Company (“Ordinary Shares”) (the “New Shares”) at a price of 95.13 pence per New Share (the “Issue Price”), representing a 1.0% premium to the cum-income NAV per Ordinary Share as at 28 February 2025, being the last published NAV per Ordinary Share prior to the close of the Fundraising, as announced on 18 March 2025.

4,384,509 New Shares will be issued pursuant to the Placing and 2,263,460 New Shares will be issued pursuant to the WRAP Retail Offer.

Admission and Settlement

Applications have been made to the Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”) for admission of the New Shares to the closed-ended investment funds category and to the London Stock Exchange plc for admission to trading of the New Shares on its Main Market for listed securities (“Admission”). It is expected that Admission will become effective at or around 8.00 am on 25 March 2025 and that dealings in the New Shares will commence at that time.

The New Shares will, when issued, be credited as fully paid, and have the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, if any, by reference to a record date after the date of their issue and in all other respects will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares.

Immediately following Admission, the Company’s issued share capital will consist of 160,493,740 Ordinary Shares with voting rights. This figure may be used by shareholders in determining the denominator for the calculation by which they will establish if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules. The Company does not hold any shares in treasury.

The Placing and the WRAP Retail Offer are conditional on Admission becoming effective.
