AXA Property Trust Limited 
                                (the "Company") 
 
 (a closed-ended investment company incorporated with limited liability under 
              the laws of Guernsey with registered number 43007)

                                 Result of EGM 
 
       Change of Company Secretary, Administrator and Registered Office 
 
Result of EGM 
 
At the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company held today, the Ordinary 
Resolution to adopt a New Investment Objective and Policy was approved but the 
Special Resolution to change the Company's name was not.  The Board of the 
Company is delighted to note that both resolutions received the support of an 
absolute majority of the share register.  The vote in favour of the New 
Investment Policy received 76.67% support of those Shareholders who voted. 
Despite receiving 67.87% of votes cast in favour of the name change resolution, 
this is insufficient to pass the 75% threshold for a special resolution and is 
the consequence of certain Shareholders who voted in favour of the change of 
investment policy but against the name change. Accordingly, for the time being 
the Company will continue to be called AXA Property Trust Limited. 
 
Notwithstanding the name, following the appointment of Worsley Associates LLP 
as Investment Advisor, the Company no longer has any association with AXA 
Investment Managers UK Limited or any members of the AXA Group of Companies. 
 
The Board continues to believe that the change of name which reflects the 
change of investment policy is in the best interest of the Company and will 
engage with major dissenting Shareholders to understand their reasoning and 
will bring forward further proposals in due course. 
 
Details of the voting results, which should be read alongside the notice of the 
Extraordinary General Meeting sent to Shareholders and dated 7 June 2019, are 
noted below: 
 
    Ordinary          For         Against    Discretion    Abstain

Note - A vote withheld is not a vote in law and has not been counted in the 
votes for and against a resolution.

amended with immediate effect.
