WITAN INVESTMENT TRUST PLC

31 December 2011

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

Witan 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 a)         there is no unpublished information which constitutes price sensitive information in respect of the Company's securities;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 per share to be announced on 3 January 2011 (as at close of business on 30 December 2011, being the last business day of 2011) and the financial information to be published in the announcement of its annual results for the year ended 31 December 2011;

d)         the Company has some investments that are not quoted, the directors' valuations of which have been included in the net asset values published on a daily basis, but the valuations of these are insignificant in relation to the aggregate portfolio valuation.

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 December 2011.
