                WORLDWIDE HEALTHCARE TRUST PLC (the "COMPANY")                 

                      Non-Mainstream Pooled Product Rules                      

The Board confirms that the Company currently conducts its affairs so that its
shares can be recommended by independent financial advisers ("IFAs") to retail
private investors in accordance with the Financial Conduct Authority's ("FCA")
rules in relation to non-mainstream investment products and intends to continue
to do so for the foreseeable future.

The Company's shares are excluded from the FCA's restrictions which apply to
non-mainstream investment products because they are shares in a UK-listed
investment trust.
