Results of Meetings of Invesco Markets III plc 
 
Invesco Markets III Public Limited Company (the "Company") - Results of Scheme 
Meeting and Extraordinary General Meeting in relation to a Scheme of 
Arrangement in which it is proposed to change the share settlement structure of 
the Company to centralise the settlement of shares  of all Sub-Funds of the 
Company within an International Central Securities Depositary ("ICSD") 
settlement model (Resolutions approved). 
 
16 November 2018 
 
At the Scheme Meeting held at 32 Molesworth Street, Dublin 2 on 16 November 
2018 at 10:15 am, the resolution to approve the scheme of arrangement, as 
described in the circular issued to shareholders of the Company dated 19 
October 2018 (the "Scheme"), was passed.  This shareholder circular is 
available on etf.invesco.com. 
 
At the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company held at 32 Molesworth 
Street, Dublin 2 on 16 November 2018 at 10:30 am, a resolution was passed to 
approve the Scheme and to authorise the Company's directors to take such action 
as they deem necessary or appropriate to implement the Scheme.  A resolution to 
approve the adoption of new Articles of Association of the Company (the " 
Articles") with effect from the effective date of the Scheme was also passed. 
 
Following the passing of all of the resolutions mentioned above, the 
implementation of the Scheme by the Company is conditional upon approval of the 
Scheme by the Irish High Court and the issue of an order of the High Court 
approving the Scheme (the "Court Order"), the delivery of the Court Order to 
the Companies Registration Office (the "CRO") in Ireland and the registration 
of such Court Order by the CRO.  Subject to the above conditions being met, the 
directors of the Company anticipate that the effective date for implementing 
the Scheme will occur towards the end of the last quarter of 2018 or in the 
first quarter of 2019, with the exact date to be fixed by the High Court.  This 
date (and any changes or updates to the Scheme timetable) will be announced via 
RNS/stock exchange announcement and will also be available on etf.invesco.com.

                                            last quarter of 2018 or in the first

Background to the proposal to change the share settlement structure of the 
Company 
 
The sub-funds of the Company are exchange traded funds and their participating 
shares are listed on multiple stock exchanges across Europe. Each exchange 
typically operates its own central securities depositary ("CSD") for settlement 
functions. Trading and settling participating shares under this structure 
involves moving the participating shares between various CSDs, which is 
complex, costly and inefficient. 
 
Currently the sub-funds of the Company do not use the ICSD model, as listed 
below:

The directors of the Company are of the view that the ICSD settlement model 
provides a more streamlined centralised settlement structure, which they expect 
will result in improved liquidity and spreads for investors, and will reduce 
risk in the settlement process. 
 
Converting the sub-funds of the Company to the ICSD model will also bring all 
of the Company's sub-funds into one consistent settlement structure which is 
expected to make navigating the settlement structures for the sub-funds more 
straightforward. 
 
Background to proposed adoption of new Articles of Association of the Company 
 
The new Articles incorporate a small number of amendments to the existing 
Articles in order to facilitate the adoption of the ICSD settlement model, 
including, in particular, amendments to enable the common depositary's nominee, 
when it becomes the sole registered shareholder of the Company following 
effectiveness of the Scheme and adoption of the ICSD settlement model, to form 
a quorum (by itself) for class and general meetings of the Company.  In effect, 
the new Articles enable the common depositary's nominee to vote shares 
registered in its name at class or general meetings (the quorum required would 
otherwise be two shareholders entitled to vote).
