2.    Grant of Share Appreciation Rights (SARs)

A grant of Share Appreciation Rights ('SARs') over £1 ordinary shares of RIT has today been made to Lord Rothschild under the terms of the J Rothschild Capital Management Share Appreciation Rights Plan, as follows:

Director	SAR exercise price	Notional no. of RITCP ord. shares
Lord Rothschild	1,246p	100,000

SAR grants entitle the holder to the payment of a bonus between the third and tenth anniversaries of the relevant date of grant, calculated by reference to a notional number of RIT £1 ordinary shares.  The bonus will amount to the increase since the date of grant in the RIT share price multiplied by the notional number of shares.

The above SARs awarded will be exercisable between 8 March 2016 and 7 March 2023, conditional upon the performance hurdle being achieved in the three year vesting period ending on 8 March 2016.  The hurdle is calculated by reference to the RIT share price plus dividends paid, which must exceed RPI plus three percentage points per annum.

Following the above grant made today, the outstanding SARs held by Lord Rothschild are as follows:

Director	Notional no. of RITCP ord. shares	SAR exercisable price	Dates exercisable
