ALLOTMENT OF SHARES

Henderson Opportunities Trust plc (the "Company") announces that it has agreed to allot 35,670 new Ordinary shares under its block listing facility in satisfaction of a request to convert 35,670 Subscription shares as part of the final conversion opportunity for Subscription shares.

The total number of Ordinary shares in issue following the allotment on 1 May 2014 will be 8,000,858. Each Ordinary share has one vote; therefore the total number of voting rights in the Company following the allotment will be 8,000,858.

The above figure (8,000,858) 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 to their interest in, Henderson Opportunities Trust plc under the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

Following the Class Meeting and Annual General Meeting of the Company on 29 April 2014, a Trustee was appointed over the remaining subscription shares which were not elected to be converted.

In accordance with the Subscription Share terms, the Trustee will decide whether or not to exercise the outstanding Subscription Share rights by 13 May 2014. To the extent not exercised by the Trustee, Subscription Shares outstanding will be bought back by the Company for a nominal amount and cancelled.
