                   HENDERSON TR PACIFIC INVESTMENT TRUST PLC

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



Henderson TR Pacific Investment Trust plc ('the Company') 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a)   there is no unpublished information which constitutes price sensitive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 2 January 2008 (as at 
     close of business on 28 December 2007) and the financial information to be 
     published in the preliminary announcement of its annual results;



d)   the Company has unquoted investments, the market valuation of which
     has been included in the net asset values published on a daily basis; and



e)   a dividend may be declared at the end of the close period but 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, purchases of its own securities and the sale of treasury
shares for cash or transfers.  If, in the period leading up to the preliminary
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 relates is in respect of the financial year ended
31 December 2007.

                                    - ENDS -
