INVESCO PLC Announces Loss of Foreign Private Issuer Status

London, July 18, 2007 -— INVESCO PLC today announced that it has determined it no longer satisfies the definition of a “foreign private issuer” under the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The proportion of our voting securities currently held by U.S residents is approximately 53 per cent compared to approximately 48 per cent in April.

As a result, the company is required to file Current Reports on Form 8-K and will begin filing Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q (beginning with the period ending September 30, 2007) and Annual Reports on Form 10-K (beginning with the annual report for fiscal year 2007), as well as proxy statements with respect to meetings of shareholders, with the SEC as if it were a fully domestic U.S. company.

“With the recent steady increase of U.S. beneficial ownership of our shares, we have diligently worked to be prepared to meet the additional U.S. reporting and accounting obligations we face as a result of this change of status,” said Loren M. Starr, Chief Financial Officer, INVESCO PLC.

As a U.K.-public company, listed on the London Stock Exchange, INVESCO will continue to file financial statements in the U.K. under International Financial Reporting Standards.

INVESCO PLC is one of the world’s largest independent investment management organizations dedicated to helping people worldwide build their financial security. Operating principally through the AIM, AIM Trimark, Atlantic Trust, INVESCO, Invesco Perpetual, PowerShares and WL Ross & Co. brands, INVESCO PLC strives to deliver outstanding performance and service across a comprehensive array of investment products for individuals and institutions around the world.
