ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF INVESCO SELECT TRUST PLC
ATTENDANCE CARD FOR GLOBAL EQUITY INCOME SHAREHOLDERS

Notes to your Proxy Form

If you are a registered Global Equity Income shareholder and you are unable to attend the meeting you may appoint a proxy to attend and, on a poll, to vote on your behalf. Appointing a proxy does not prevent a shareholder from attending and voting in person.

1. Appointing a proxy

If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chairman as your proxy please insert their full name in the box provided. A proxy need not be a member of the Company, but must attend the meeting in order to represent you.

You are entitled to appoint more than one proxy provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise rights attached to a different share or shares held by you. To appoint more than one proxy (an) additional Proxy Form(s) may be obtained by contacting the Registrar's helpline on 0371 664 0300 (calls are changed at the standard geographic rate and will vary by provider, lines are open Mon-Fri 9:00am to 5.30pm) or you may photocopy this form. All forms must be signed and should be returned together in the same envelope.

When two or more valid, but differing Proxy Forms are delivered in respect of the same share for use at the same meeting and in respect of the same matter, the one which is delivered last (regardless of its date or the date of its execution or submission) shall be treated as replacing and revoking the other or others as regards that share. If the Company is unable to determine which Proxy Form was last validly delivered, none of them shall be treated as valid in respect of that share.

2. How to complete your Proxy Form

(a) To direct your proxy how to vote on the resolutions, mark the appropriate box on your Proxy Form with an 'X'. To withhold your vote for a particular resolution, select the relevant 'vote withheld' box. A vote withheld is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes for and against the resolution. If no voting instruction is given, your proxy will vote or withhold from voting at his or her discretion.

(b) If the proxy is being appointed in relation to less than your full voting rights, please include in the box next to the proxy holder's name the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy.

(c) Please sign and date your Proxy Form where shown in the spaces provided.

(d) If someone else signs your Proxy Form on your behalf, the authority entitling them to do so, or a certified copy of it, must accompany the Proxy Form.

(e) In the case of a corporation, your Proxy Form must be executed under the corporation's common seal, or be signed on its behalf by an attorney or duly authorised officer.

(f) In the case of joint holders, the signature of the first-named on the Register of Members, in respect of the joint holding, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the other holders.

3. If you would like to ask a question at the Annual General Meeting please write to the Company Secretary, Invesco Select Trust plc, 43-45 Portman Square, London W1H 6LY by 27 September 2022.

To be held at: 43-45 Portman Square, London W1H 6LY
On: 4 October 2022 at 11.30am

If you wish to attend this meeting in your capacity as a holder of Global Equity Income shares, please sign this card and on arrival hand it to the Company's Registrars. This will facilitate entry to the meeting.
