Change of Company Name Delayed 
 
6 May 2020 
 
It was previously announced in the Company's Annual Results on 19 March 2020 
that the Board had decided to change the Company's name from Fidelity European 
Values PLC to Fidelity European Trust PLC, and that this would take effect 
following the requisite statutory filings, which were expected to be completed 
in time for the change to be effective from 12 May 2020. 
 
The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), and the resultant Government's Stay 
at Home Measures, have caused substantial and significant delays as well as 
disruption to the usual statutory filing process.  It is not currently possible 
to deliver the required documents in person to Companies House for action on 
the same day, which would provide shareholders and the market appropriate 
certainty about the date of the Company's name change. It remains the Board's 
intention to change the name of the Company to Fidelity European Trust PLC, 
however, until this can be executed with Companies House on a planned and 
expected future date, the Board has decided that the Company should continue as 
Fidelity European Values PLC beyond 12 May 2020 and that the change of name 
should be delayed until such time as it can be made with more certainty as to 
the date it will take effect.  A further announcement will be made in advance 
of proceeding with the change of the Company's name to confirm the new proposed 
date for it to take effect, but the Board has decided to delay the change until 
at least 30 September 2020. 
 
In any event and as previously confirmed, the Company will retain its existing 
ticker (FEV.L), SEDOL (BK1PKQ9) and ISIN (GB00BK1PKQ95) following the change of 
name.
