    INVESTEC EUROPEAN GROWTH & INCOME TRUST LIMITED

Following the acquisition by Red Apple Investments, LLC ("Red Apple") and
related parties, of a controlling interest of 80.75 per cent of the Ordinary
Shares in the capital of the Company at the end of last year and as indicated
in the Offer Document circulated on behalf of Red Apple and related parties, Mr
Eitan Milgram was appointed a Director of the Company as a representative of
Red Apple and Mr Robert Goldsmith was appointed a Director to represent the
interest of the holders of Zero Dividend Preference Shares. In addition, Mr
Jossef Barath was appointed a Director.

At the same time Mr Christian de Labriffe and Mr Patrick von Stauffenberg who
had served as Directors since inception of the Company tendered their
resignations. I would like to express the appreciation of the Board for the
considerable efforts that both Mr de Labriffe and Mr von Stauffenberg made on
behalf of the Company during the period they served as Directors.

In order to protect the capital of the Company the Directors resolved to reduce
the Company's gearing to nil by repaying all amounts due to Bank of Scotland
and Dresdner Bank AG.

As a result of representations received from funds managed by Weiss Asset
Management, LLC, Weiss Capital, LLC (representing 80.75 per cent of the
Ordinary Share capital in issue) and Starlight Investments Limited who
represent 38.4 per cent of the Zero Dividend Preference Share capital in issue,
the Directors have appointed Collins Stewart as its financial advisors in order
to bring forward to Shareholders proposals for the winding-up of the Company.
Given the reduction in the size of the gross assets in the Company, following
the decision to repay the bank indebtedness the Directors are mindful that the
costs associated with continuing the operation of the Company will impact
adversely on the residual capital value to the detriment of both classes of
Shareholder. The Directors believe that it will be in the best interests of
both classes of Shareholder if the Company was placed into member's voluntary
liquidation. It is expected that a circular will be posted to all Shareholders
in the immediate future with a view to convening the necessary meetings to
implement proposals to place the Company into liquidation as soon as possible.
The Directors have authorised the Investment Manager to implement a programme
for the disposal of the remaining portfolio of investments.
