The scheme of reconstruction of The Fleming Income & Capital Investment Trust
plc ("FICIT")



The results of the elections under the FICIT's scheme of reconstruction were as
follows:


                                               Proportion electing            Proportion electing for cash
                                            for shares in the Company
FICIT Ordinary Income Shares                          55.5%                               44.5%

Under the Scheme, it has not been necessary for the Directors of the Company, in
conjunction with UBS Warburg, to apply any scaling back to Shareholders whose
elections for JPMFIC Shares have therefore been satisfied in full.



Placing and Offer for Subscription


2,838,564 JPMFIC Zeros have been allotted under the Placing and Offer for
Subscription (including those arising from JPMFIC Units allotted under the
Placing and Offer for Subscription). As priority was given to elections made
under the Scheme by FICIT shareholders, it was not been possible to satisfy in
full the considerable demand for the JPMFIC Zeros under the Placing and Offer
for Subscription.


James Roe, director of The Fleming Income & Capital Investment Trust plc and
JPMorgan Fleming Income & Capital Investment Trust plc said:


"I am very pleased that we have been able to satisfy the strong demand from
FICIT shareholders for a tax-efficient rollover into the new investment trust".


David Barron, vice president, J. P. Morgan Fleming Asset Management (UK) Limited
said:



"JPMorgan Fleming Income & Capital has got off to an excellent start. Investors
continue to appreciate large, liquid and conservatively structured trusts,
especially where there is no exposure to other split-capital trusts in the
portfolio. This is shown by the high level of roll-over elections by Fleming
Income & Capital Shareholders and the over-subscription for the zero dividend
preference shares in the offer for subscription and placing".
