APPOINTMENT OF A NEW DIRECTOR

The Board of Henderson Far East Income Limited ('the Company') announces that Julia Chapman has been appointed as a non-executive director with effect from 30 January 2015.

Mr John Russell, Chairman of the Company, said "the Directors and I are delighted that Julia has agreed to join us bringing to the Board her valuable experience from her extensive career in the investment fund sector."

This appointment is made in the context of the Board's succession plans and, in line with the Company's succession planning policy as highlighted in the 2014 Annual Report, the Board considered that Julia's background, experience, skills and knowledge was complementary and beneficial to the balance of the Board.

Julia Chapman is a solicitor qualified in England & Wales and in Jersey with over 25 years experience in the investment fund and capital markets sector.  After working at Simmons & Simmons in London, she moved to Jersey and became a partner of Mourant du Feu & Jeune (now Mourant Ozannes) in 1999. She was then appointed general counsel to Mourant International Finance Administration (the firm's fund administration division). Following its acquisition by State Street in April 2010, Julia was appointed European Senior Counsel for State Street's alternative investment business.  In July 2012, Julia left State Street to focus on the independent provision of directorship and governance services to a small number of investment fund vehicles.

In accordance with paragraphs 9.6.13 (1) to (6) of the Listing Rules, it is confirmed that there are no additional details to be disclosed in relation to Ms Chapman.
