Invesco Global Equity Income Trust plc (IGET) has published its latest total voting rights and capital disclosure in accordance with FCA Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rule 5.6.1. The announcement, dated 2 November 2026, confirms the trust's issued ordinary share capital and establishes the denominator figure that shareholders must use when calculating whether they are required to notify the FCA of a change in their interest. With zero shares held in treasury, the total number of shares in issue equals the total number of voting rights in circulation, providing a straightforward reference point for regulatory purposes.

  • Total voting rights confirmed at 129,778,814 ordinary shares of 1p each as at 2 November 2026

  • Investors should monitor any subsequent changes to this denominator figure in future monthly disclosures

IGET Confirms 129,778,814 Ordinary Shares in Circulation Under DTR 5.6.1

The announcement states that Invesco Global Equity Income Trust plc holds 129,778,814 ordinary shares of 1p each in circulation, each carrying one voting right, giving a total voting rights figure of 129,778,814. This disclosure is made in conformity with Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rule 5.6.1, which requires listed companies and investment trusts to publish their total voting rights figures at the end of any month in which a change has occurred. The figure serves as the official denominator for shareholder notification calculations under the FCA's transparency regime.

Zero Treasury Shares Held, Simplifying IGET's Shareholder Notification Calculations

Notably, the trust reports zero shares held in treasury, meaning the total shares in issue and the total voting rights figure are identical at 129,778,814. For shareholders in Invesco Global Equity Income Trust, this simplifies the calculation of whether a threshold crossing must be disclosed to the FCA. When a company holds treasury shares, those are excluded from voting rights calculations, which can alter the denominator; in this instance no such adjustment is required, providing a clean and straightforward reference figure for all registered and beneficial shareholders.

Invesco Asset Management's Role as Corporate Secretary to the Trust

The disclosure was issued by James Poole, acting for and on behalf of Invesco Asset Management Limited in its capacity as Corporate Secretary to Invesco Global Equity Income Trust plc.
