                              Issued share capital
4 March 2008

As a result of conversion of 21,600 Convertible Preferred Ordinary Shares of
100p ('CPO Shares') in the capital of Celtic plc during February 2008, the
Company's issued share capital at 29 February 2008 was as follows:

88,598,741 Ordinary Shares of 1p each
14,509,591 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Ordinary Shares of 100p each
16,795,912 Cumulative Convertible Preference Shares of 60 p each
443,540,951 Deferred Shares of 1p each

Cumulative Convertible Preference Shares do not carry voting rights. Deferred
Shares are not listed, are not transferable and carry no voting rights or
substantive economic rights.

The above figures for Ordinary Shares and CPO Shares may be used by shareholders
as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are
required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest, under the
FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

Application has been made for the 43,680 new Ordinary Shares of 1p each arising
from the conversion of CPO shares to be listed with effect from 12 March 2008.

End.
