Dividend Declaration

The Edinburgh Investment Trust plc                       

HEADLINE: Declaration of third interim dividend

The Directors of The Edinburgh Investment Trust plc announce that they have
declared a third interim dividend for the year ended 31 March 2015 of 5.15
pence per ordinary share, payable on 29 May 2015 to Ordinary Shareholders on
the register on 8 May 2015. The shares will be quoted ex-dividend on 7 May
2015.

This increase is a further step in the balancing of the interim and final
dividends and this should not be construed as indicating a proportionate
increase in the final dividend. The final dividend will be paid, as in previous
years, in July 2015, subject to shareholder consent.

The first interim dividend of 5 pence per share was paid on 28 November 2014 to
shareholders on the Company's register on 21 November 2014 (ex dividend date
being 20 November 2014). The second interim dividend of 5.1 pence per ordinary
share was paid on 26 February 2015 to shareholders on the Company's register on
6 February 2015 (ex-dividend date being 5 February 2015).
