Dividend Declaration

   Dividend Declaration

   Alliance Trust PLC announces the declaration of a first interim dividend of
2.0625 pence per share payable on 2 August 2010 to shareholders on the register
on 2 July 2010. The ex-dividend date is 30 June 2010.

   The dividend is in line with that indicated in our Annual Report and Accounts
for the year ended 31 January 2010.  The Board expects to be able to recommend
further quarterly interim dividends of the same amount payable on 1 November
2010 and 31 January 2011, and a fourth interim dividend of at least that amount,
payable on 3 May 2011.

   The Board is confident that the dividend will be covered by current year
earnings and, in the absence of any unforeseen developments, does not expect to
draw down on reserves in order to pay its 44th consecutive annual dividend
increase.
