Dividend Declaration

Dividend Declaration

Alliance  Trust PLC announces  the declaration of  a second interim dividend for
the  period ending  31 December 2011 of  2.141 pence per  share, payable  on 30
September  2011 to shareholders  on the  register on  2 September 2011.  The ex-
dividend date is 31 August 2011.

The dividend is in line with that indicated in our Annual Report and Accounts
for the year ended 31 January 2011 and will be paid one month earlier than in
previous years to reflect the change in the Company's financial year end to 31
December.  In the absence of any unforeseen developments, the Board expects to
be able to recommend a third quarterly interim dividend of the same amount
payable on 3 January 2012, and a fourth interim dividend of at least that
amount, payable on 2 April 2012.
