Dividend Declaration

The Board of Personal Assets Trust plc has declared a second quarterly dividend for the year to 30 April 2012 of £1.40 per share. The dividend will be paid on 21 October 2011 to shareholders on the register on 9 September 2011. The ex-dividend date will be 7 September 2011.

The Board's stated dividend policy is for the present dividend rate to grow over the long term in real terms relative to both the CPI and RPI and never to cut the dividend rate, so shareholders know that each payment will at least equal the previous one. The third quarterly dividend for the year ended 30 April 2012, expected to be paid in January 2012, will be at least £1.40 per share and the total dividend for the year will be not less than £5.55.
