Dividend Declaration

The Board of Personal Assets Trust plc has today declared a first interim dividend for the year ended 30 April 2009 of £2.50 per share. The dividend will be paid on 24 October 2008 to shareholders on the register on 3 October 2008. The ex-dividend date will be 1 October 2008.

The Board's stated dividend policy is for the present dividend rate to grow in real terms and never to cut the dividend rate, so shareholders know that each half-yearly payment will at least equal the previous one. Therefore, the second interim dividend for the year ended 30 April 2009, expected to be paid in April 2009, will be at least £2.50 per share and the total dividend for the year will be not less than £5.00.
