THE HENDERSON SMALLER COMPANIES INVESTMENT TRUST PLC

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

The Henderson Smaller Companies Investment 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a)         there is no unpublished information which constitutes price sensitive information in respect of the Company's securities;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 announced on 1 June 2010 (as at close of business on 28 May 2010) and the financial information to be published in the Annual Financial Report for the year ended 31 May 2010.

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 announcement of the results, 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 May 2010.
