                            Henderson EuroTrust plc

                             Dividend Resolution


The Board of Henderson EuroTrust plc has today declared an interim dividend of
1.50p per ordinary share (2003 1.00p) in respect of the year to 31 July 2004.
The dividend will be paid on 31 March 2004 to shareholders registered at the
close of business on 27 February 2004. The Company's shares will be quoted
ex-dividend on 25 February 2004.


After 5 April this year, the ability of charities and PEP & ISA holders to
reclaim tax on UK company dividends will come to an end. The interim dividend
for the current year is being paid on 31 March 2004 in order that these
investors may make a final reclaim. The final dividend will be declared in
September 2004 and paid, subject to shareholder approval, in November 2004. The
Board expects to revert to the interim dividend timetable of previous years and
pay the 2004/5 interim in mid April 2005.
