Having consulted major institutional shareholders, the Board has decided to offer shareholders the option to roll over their investment into shares in the Premier Miton UK Multi Cap Income Fund, as well as offering shareholders a cash exit option for up to 100 per cent of their shareholding in the Trust. For more information, please see the website www.diverseincometrust.com Billions and billions of new capital has continued to be committed to building new Artificial Intelligence datacentres. Given the potential shortfall of various supplies, such as semiconductors, some company share prices linked to these industries rose dramatically during April. This led to many global stock markets moving up to record new highs during the month. Meanwhile, the open-ended risks regarding the Iran conflict persisted. Aside from CML Microsystems and Raspberry Pi, the Diverse Income Trust portfolio was not a direct beneficiary of the semiconductor trend. Even so, it continued to perform well during April. The strongest portfolio contributions came from TP ICAP, a broker that helps institutional investors buy and sell global bonds. Whilst its share price had already increased, it rose a further 21% in April. Alongside, the share price of Concurrent Technologies, a supplier of rugged single board computers for the military, also appreciated by 21% following the release of its company results. The share prices of Paypoint, Victorian Plumbing, Plus500 and CMC Markets were also strong, with each contributing at least 0.2% of the trust’s return during April. At the first General Meeting on 12 May, shareholders approved the proposals set out in the Circular to rollover their investment in the trust into shares in the Premier Miton UK Multi Cap Income Fund, alongside an option to exit for cash. Anticipating that some shareholders would elect for cash, the trust portfolio held just under 20% in cash at the month end. The scheme is expected to become effective on 26 June, following the appointment of liquidators.

The value of an investment can go down as well as up which means that you could get back less than you originally invested when you come to sell your investment. The value of your investment might not keep up with any rise in the cost of living. Typically, there is less risk of losing money over the long-term (which we define as over 5 years) from an investment that is considered low risk, although potential returns may also be lower. Investments considered higher risk typically offer greater opportunities for better long-term returns, though the risk of losing money is also likely to be higher. Premier Miton is unable to provide investment, tax or financial planning advice. We recommend that you discuss any investment decisions with a financial adviser. Some of the main specific risks of investing in this trust are summarised here. Derivatives Derivatives may be used within funds for different reasons, usually to reduce risk, which can be called “hedging”. This can limit gains in certain circumstances as well. Derivatives can also be used to generate income or to increase the risk being taken, which can have positive or negative outcomes. The derivatives used can be options or futures which are types of contracts that are dealt on an exchange or negotiated with a third party. More complex derivatives may also be used. Derivatives can also introduce leverage to a fund, which is similar to borrowing money to invest. Equities Equities (company shares) can experience high levels of price fluctuation. Smaller company shares can be riskier than the largest companies, companies in less developed countries (emerging markets) can be risker than those in developed countries and funds focused on a particular country or region can be riskier than funds that are more geographically diverse. These risks can result in bigger movements in the value of the fund. Equities can be affected by changes in central bank interest rates and by inflation. Other investment risks Funds may have holdings in investments such as commodities (raw materials), infrastructure and property as well as other areas such as specialist lending and renewable energy. These investments will be indirect, which means accessing these assets by investing in companies, other funds or similar investment vehicles. These investments can also increase risk and experience sharp price movements. Funds focused on specific sectors or industries, such as property or infrastructure, may carry a higher level of risk and can experience bigger movements in value. Certain investments can be impacted by decisions made by third parties, such as governments or regulators. Other risks There are many other factors that can influence the value of a fund. These include currency movements, changes in the law, regulations or tax, operational systems or third-party failures, or financial market conditions that make it difficult to buy or sell investments for the fund. ## Other risks General risks The Diverse Income Trust plc Page 3 of 4 Factsheet 30 April 2026 The Diverse Income Trust plc Ratings, awards and other information The methodology and calculations used by the third parties providing the ratings/ awards are not verified by Premier Miton Investors and we are unable to accept responsibility for their accuracy, nor should they be relied upon for making an investment decision. Annual management charge (AMC) The yearly fee paid to Premier Miton for managing a trust, expressed as a percentage of your investment. The AMC does not typically change from year to year. Assets Different groups of investments such as company shares, bonds, commodities or property. Bonds (or fixed income) Types of investments that allow investors to loan money to governments and companies, usually in return for a regular fixed level of interest until the bond’s maturity date, plus the return of the original value of the bond at the maturity date. The price of bonds will vary and the investment terms of bonds will also vary. Capital Describes financial assets, particularly cash, or other assets, such as shares, owned by a person or organisation. Capital growth The increase in the value of an asset or investment over time, measured by its current value compared to its purchase cost. Collective Investment Schemes A generic term for investment funds with more than one investor, such as unit trusts, Open Ended Investment Schemes (OEICs) and investment trusts. Discount The shares of investment trusts can have a price below the value of their net assets, this difference is known as the discount. The shares can also be at a premium to their net assets. Dividends The portion of its capital that a company chooses to return to its shareholders. For a trust, this is the payment of trust’s income to its shareholders. Equities Another name for shares (or stock) in a company. FTSE 100 Put Option A type of derivative contract in which the underlying value is based on the level of the FTSE 100 index which tracks the performance of the top 100 largest companies by market value listed on the London Stock Exchange. Such contracts can be used to protect the value of an underlying investment or group of investments against a fall in the value of those 100 largest companies and can be thought of as an insurance policy. Gearing The level of a company’s debt in relation to its capital. A company with significant debt compared to its capital is considered to be highly geared. Individual Savings Account (ISA) A type of tax-free scheme, set up by the government, designed to help people make the most of their savings and investments. All income and gains from an ISA investment are exempt from UK Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax. HM Revenue and Customs sets the maximum amounts that you are allowed to invest into an ISA each tax year. Micro-Cap A company with a market capitalisation (the total value of all a company’s shares) of below £250 million. Multi-Cap A type of equity fund or investment trust that invests in companies across all market capitalisations (the market capitalisation is the total value of all a company’s shares). Net Asset Value (NAV) The total of a company’s assets minus its liabilities. The net asset value per share is the total of a company’s assets minus its liabilities divided by the number of shares in issue. Ongoing Charges Figure (OCF) As recommended by the Association of Investment Companies in its guidance, ongoing charges are the Company’s annualised revenue and capital expenses (excluding finance costs and certain non- recurring items) expressed as a percentage of the average monthly net assets of the Company during the year. Please note this figure is different to what is stated in the PRIIPS KID. Revenue reserve An investment trust has to pay a minimum of 85% of the income it receives each financial year to shareholders, usually via a dividend. Up to 15% can be retained in a revenue reserve account to be paid in the future. Share price yield The dividend per share divided by the stock’s or fund’s price per share and expressed as a percentage. The historic yield is the dividend income distributed during the past year and expressed as a percentage of the share price on a particular day. Total return A way of showing how an investment has performed, and is made-up of the capital appreciation or depreciation and includes any income generated by the investment. Measured over a set period, it is expressed as a percentage of the value of the investment at the start of that period. ## Glossary Factsheet 30 April 2026 Page 4 of 4 Contact us From 9:00am to 5:30pm, Monday to Friday, excluding bank holidays. 0333 456 4560 contactus@premiermiton.com Investment Manager Premier Fund Managers Limited Paternoster House 65 St Paul’s Churchyard London EC4M 8AB Secretary and Registered Office MUFG Corporate Markets 19th Floor 51 Lime Street London EC3M 7DQ Registrar and Transfer Office MUFG Corporate Markets Central Square 29 Wellington Street Leeds LS1 4DL ## Corporate contacts 01483 306 090 investorservices@premiermiton.com shareholderenquiries@cm.mpms.mufg.com 01392 477 500 Whilst every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information contained within this document, we regret that we cannot accept responsibility for any omissions or errors.
