To holders of Ordinary Shares of 25p each in the capital of the Company and the
holder of the Special Voting Share of 25p
DEAR SHAREHOLDER,
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
I am writing to invite you to join us at this year's Annual General Meeting of
the Company to be held at 11:30 am on Thursday April 29, 2004 on the 7th Floor
of our corporate headquarters at 30 Finsbury Square, London EC2A 1AG, and to
explain the proposals which shareholders are invited to approve at the Annual
General Meeting. The formal Notice of Meeting and resolutions to be proposed are
set out on pages 6 to 8 of this document.
DIRECTORS' POWER TO ALLOT SHARES
There will be proposed as Resolution 11 a continuance of the directors'
authority to allot the present unissued share capital of the Company (up to a
maximum of 247,000,000 ordinary shares) comprising approximately 30.5 percent of
the Company's issued ordinary share capital on March 5, 2004, being the latest
practicable date prior to the date of publication of the document. As at that
date, the Company did not hold any shares in treasury.
Resolution 12 will be proposed as a Special Resolution to renew the directors'
authority to allot equity securities for cash otherwise than strictly pro-rata
to existing shareholders in the case of a rights issue and also otherwise than
to existing shareholders up to a maximum of 40,130,000 ordinary shares being
approximately 5 percent of the issued ordinary share capital on March 5, 2004.
The authorities conferred by the Resolutions 11 and 12 will lapse on April 28,
2009. For this purpose, allotments of equity
shares for cash will include sales by the Company of any shares held by it which
it has repurchased and held in treasury.
Although the directors have no present intention of utilizing these authorities
they believe that it is appropriate for the directors to have flexibility and
would take into account the best interests of shareholders generally in
reviewing any future circumstances which would result in the issuance of shares.
POWER TO PURCHASE SHARES
A Special Resolution (No.13) will be proposed to enable the Company to purchase
in the market up to a maximum of 80,260,000 ordinary shares, for cancellation or
to be held in treasury, (approximately 10.0 percent of the issued share capital)
at a minimum price of 25p per share and a maximum price per share of not more
than 5 percent above the average of the middle market quotations for an ordinary
share as derived from the London Stock Exchange Daily Official List for the five
business days immediately prior to the date of such purchase. Any shares so
repurchased may be cancelled or held in treasury.
If approved, the directors will use this authority, with discretion, and with a
view to enhancing shareholder value. Purchases will only be made in the light of
market conditions prevailing at the time and where the directors consider this
will result in an increase in earnings per share and will be in the best
interests of shareholders generally. Any purchases made by the Company will be
announced by no later than 8:30 am on the business day following the
transaction.
There were a total of 129,067,238 ordinary shares over which options to
subscribe for equity shares outstanding as at March 5, 2004, have been granted
under the AMVESCAP Executive No 3 Share Option and AMVESCAP 2000 Share Option
Plans, representing 15.95 percent of the issued share capital at that date. Such
options would represent 17.7 percent of the issued share capital of the Company
if the full authority being sought pursuant to Resolution 13 is used.
AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION
Resolution 14 is being proposed to amend the Company's Articles of Association,
in order to bring them in line with current best practice and in particular with
the new Combined Code on Corporate Governance. A summary of the principal
differences between the new and old Articles is set out Appendix 1. Details of
the four principal Board Committees, including the Nomination and Corporate
Governance Committee which is responsible for, inter alia, examining board
governance and effectiveness, are described in the AMVESCAP 2003 annual report.
Resolution 14 will be proposed as a special resolution.
RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
The directors retiring by rotation are Mr. Joseph R. Canion, Mr. Robert Graham
and Mr. Robert F McCullough. With the exception of Mr. McCullough who is

last annual general meeting. Mrs. Baker retired from the board on February 27,
2004 due to family and other business commitments. In accordance with the
Articles of Association Dr. Thomas Fischer will offer himself for election by
shareholders.
Mr. James Robertson is being proposed at the meeting for election to the board
in succession to Mr. McCullough as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

INTERNATIONAL SHARESAVE SCHEME
The AMVESCAP International Sharesave Plan was approved by shareholders in 1997.
A subsequent authority was given to the board specifically in relation to the
grant of options to participants resident in France, in order that both they and
the Company should benefit from preferential tax and social security treatment.
Under prevailing legislation in France, the directors' requires periodic renewal
and may not now be given for a period exceeding 38 months. The Company therefore
seeks renewed authority for the directors to grant options to employees resident
in France on a tax-favoured basis.
