Notice of cancellation of SMIT Listing

Stakeholders' Momentum Investment Trust plc                  

                            Cancellation of Listing                            

21 May 2010

On 28 April 2010, the boards of Manchester & London Investment Trust PLC
('MLIT') and Stakeholders' Momentum Investment Trust plc ('SMIT') announced the
proposed merger of MLIT and SMIT to be effected by way of a recommended offer
(the 'Offer') to acquire the entire issued, and to be issued, share capital of
SMIT. The Offer was declared unconditional in all respects on 21 May 2010 and
SMIT is now a subsidiary of MLIT.

It was stated in the Offer Document that once the Offer had been declared
unconditional, MLIT would seek to cancel the public quotation of SMIT Shares on
the main market of the London Stock Exchange so that the Enlarged Group bears
the cost of having one quoted holding company rather than two.

MLIT announced that as at 1.00 pm on 20 May 2010 it had received valid
acceptances of the recommended Offer in respect of SMIT Shares carrying over 75
per cent. of the voting rights of SMIT.

Notice is hereby given by the Boards of MLIT and of SMIT in accordance with
Listing Rule 5.2.10 that the Listing of SMIT Shares on the Official List of the
UKLA will be cancelled with effect from 22 June 2010. SMIT Shares will cease to
be traded on the London Stock Exchange with effect from that date.

SMIT Shareholders who have not accepted the recommended Offer should note that
following the cancellation of listing, SMIT Shares could become unquoted and
difficult to realise.

The Basic Offer closes at 1.00 p.m. on 2 June 2010 and may or may not be
extended. The Cash Alternative Offer also closes at 1.00 p.m. on 2 June 2010
but will not be extended past this date.

Acceptance of the Offer by 2 June 2010 will result in accepting SMIT
Shareholders receiving their New MLIT Shares sooner than would be the case if
they await the completion of the compulsory acquisition procedure.

Compulsory acquisition

If MLIT receives acceptances under the Offer in respect of, and/or otherwise
acquires, 90 per cent. or more of the SMIT Shares to which the Offer relates,
MLIT intends to exercise its rights pursuant to the provisions of section 979
of the Companies Act 2006 which will entitle MLIT to compulsorily acquire the
remaining SMIT Shares in issue.

In compliance with the compulsory acquisition procedure set out in the
Companies Act 2006, the holders of SMIT Shares being compulsorily acquired may
apply within six weeks of being given notice to receive 217.5p per SMIT Share
in cash as an alternative to new MLIT Shares on the terms of the Basic Offer.
