Royce Micro-Cap Trust Declares Second Quarter Common Stock Distribution
Royce & Associates, Inc.



New York, June 23, 2008 -- A quarterly distribution of $0.31 per share on Royce Micro-Cap Trust, Inc.’s Common Stock, optionally payable in additional shares, is to be paid on June 23, 2008 to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 6, 2008. The price of shares issued for reinvestment was determined on June 13, 2008 (The Valuation Date).

The reinvestment price is determined on the Valuation date by the lower of the last reported sale price at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange or the net asset value per share on the valuation date (but not less than 95% of the last reported sale price on that date).

Subject to revision based on the Fund’s operations through the remainder of the year, the Fund currently estimates that approximately 100% ($0.31 per share) of this distribution and distributions for year-to-date 2008 are from net realized capital gains.

This notice is not for tax reporting purposes and is being provided only for informational purposes in order to comply with the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940. In January 2009, after the completion of the Fund’s tax year, shareholders will receive a Form 1099-DIV which will reflect the amount of income, capital gain and any return of capital paid by the Fund in calendar year 2008 and reportable on your 2008 federal and other income tax returns.

The Fund has a managed distribution policy under which regular quarterly distributions are declared and paid at a fixed rate per share of common stock. Distributions may be paid in part or in full from net investment income, realized capital gains and/or by returning capital. Stockholders should note, however, that if he Fund’s aggregate net investment income and net realized capital gains are less than the amount of the distribution, the difference will be distributed from the Fund’s assets and will be characterized as a return of the capital. A return of capital is not taxable; rather it reduces a stockholder’s tax basis in his or her shares of the Fund. The Board of Directors of the Fund may terminate or suspend the managed distribution policy at any time, which could have an adverse effect on the market price of the Fund’s shares of common stock.
