THE LAW DEBENTURE CORPORATION p.l.c.                      

            LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS RE UNAUTHORISED TELEPHONE CALLS             

The Law Debenture Corporation p.l.c. has been informed that its shareholders
have been receiving telephone calls from individuals purporting to represent
Law Debenture, suggesting that the company is in discussions with the FSA on an
important issue ahead of an announcement in the near future. A letter has been
sent to all shareholders today - the full text of which is set out below -
confirming that Law Debenture has NOT engaged a third party to contact its
shareholders, and that Law Debenture is NOT in discussions with the FSA.

We have reported the callers to the UKLA's Market Abuse team.

The text of the letter to shareholders reads:

"20 June 2008

Dear Shareholder

Unauthorised telephone contact

It has come to our attention that many of our shareholders have been contacted
by telephone in the last couple of days by callers claiming to have been
appointed by Law Debenture. The callers suggest that Law Debenture is in
discussions with the FSA on an important issue and that they (the callers) will
be making further contact to advise shareholders before the supposed
announcement is made public.

The board of Law Debenture wishes to assure you that:

  * It has NOT appointed any third party to make contact with shareholders;
   
  * Law Debenture is NOT in discussion with the FSA or the UK Listing
    Authority, or any other regulatory body, on any matter whatsoever;
   
  * Apart from matters of routine such as weekly NAV announcements, there is
    nothing that the directors of Law Debenture are planning to announce.
   
Should you or a member of your family receive a call from somebody purporting
to represent Law Debenture, please inform the caller that you have received
this letter and terminate the call.

Our interim report will be published in early August as usual and shareholders
will receive a copy. Also as usual, between now and then, we will continue to
make our weekly NAV announcement. To repeat the point made above, there are no
plans to make any other announcements.

Yours faithfully

Ian Bowden

Head, Company Secretariat"
