WITAN INVESTMENT TRUST PLC

Payment of a First Interim Dividend

In accordance with its normal policy, the Company expects to pay quarterly interim dividends in respect of 2014 in June, September and December and in March 2015.  The Company has previously indicated that the first three payments (in June, September and December) will, in the absence of unforeseen circumstances, be paid at a rate of 3.6 pence per share, being one quarter of the full year payment for 2013 (14.4 pence).  The fourth payment (in March 2015) will be a balancing amount, reflecting the difference between the three quarterly dividends already paid and the payment decided for the full year.

Accordingly, the Company hereby announces that a first interim dividend of 3.6p per ordinary share of 25p, in respect of the year ending 31 December 2014, will be paid on Wednesday 18 June 2014 to shareholders registered at the close of business on Friday 23 May 2014 (ex-dividend date Wednesday 21 May).
