BB Healthcare Trust plc announces that Professor Justin Stebbing has today stepped down from his position as Chairman of the Company due to his other commitments. Justin will remain on the Board of the Company as a Non-Executive Director.

Justin Stebbing commented:

"It has been a privilege to serve as the Chairman of BB Healthcare Trust and I am pleased it has enjoyed a successful start. I share the Manager's view that we are in the beginnings of a revolution in the way that healthcare is delivered. Patients will benefit from these changes and the Trust offers investors an opportunity to benefit from these events as well. After a few years helping to build up the Trust to the excellent company it is today and after much deliberation, I feel it is the right time for me to step aside as Chairman but I am keen to remain involved in this exciting project"

The Board and the Manager appreciate the clinical and scientific context that he can offer as the transformation of the healthcare marketplace unfolds."
