HENDERSON OPPORTUNITIES TRUST PLC

Transactions in a Close Period - Listing Rule 15.5.1 (4)

Henderson Opportunities Trust plc ("the Company") hereby confirms that:

a)         there is no unpublished information which constitutes price sensitive information in respect of the Company's securities;

b)         the Company's net asset value per share is calculated and announced through a Regulated Information Service ("RIS") on a daily basis;

c)         the Company has no reason to believe that there will be any material difference between the net asset value per share announced on 1 November 2010 (as at close of business on 29 October 2010) and the financial information to be published in the annual financial report for the year ended 31 October 2010;

d)         the Company has some investments that are no longer quoted, the directors' valuations of which have been included in the net asset values published on a daily basis, but the valuations of these are insignificant in relation to the aggregate portfolio valuation.

e)         a dividend will be declared at the end of the close period but this is not expected to be price sensitive. 

The Company is therefore exempt during the close period from the provisions of the Model Code in respect of dealings by persons discharging managerial responsibilities and purchases of its own securities.  If, in the period leading up to the publication of the annual financial report, the directors or the Company come into possession of any inside information, this will be notified to a RIS before any such transactions are undertaken.

The close period to which this notification relates is in respect of the financial year ended 31 October 2010.  The results will be announced towards the end of January 2011.
