APPOINTMENT OF A NEW DIRECTOR

The Board of Henderson Far East Income Limited ('the Company') announces that Nicholas George has been appointed as a non-executive director with effect from today.

Mr John Russell, Chairman of the Company, said "the Directors and I are delighted that Nicholas has agreed to join us bringing to the Board his investment experience in Asian markets."

As part of an ongoing programme of balancing skills and experience on the Board an executive search company was engaged to locate a candidate with significant and recent experience in the Asian region. Nicholas George was the candidate who met the criteria best.

Nicholas is a chartered accountant by training but has spent almost his entire working life in various aspects of investment banking, specialising in the Asian markets.  In his early career he worked for a number of leading City institutions and joined Robert Fleming Securities in 1993 initially as head of Asian Securities in London and then moved to Hong Kong to establish a corporate broking division for Jardine Fleming, subsequently taken over by JPMorgan where he remained as Managing Director. In 2003 he co-founded KGR Capital Partners, an FCA registered Hong Kong based Asian hedge fund of funds. Since that time he has become a non-executive Director of a number of diversified businesses ranging from hospitality, telecommunications, investment management and healthcare and continues to travel widely throughout Asia where he has built up an impressive network of contacts.

The Board is very pleased to welcome him and looks forward to the significant contribution he will undoubtedly make.

In accordance with paragraphs 9.6.13 (1) to (6) of the Listing Rules, it is confirmed that Mr George is a Director of Millennium and Copthorne Hotels PLC, Aberdeen New Dawn Investment Trust PLC and Singapore company - G.K. Goh Holdings Limited. There are no additional details to be disclosed in relation to Mr George.
