WITAN INVESTMENT TRUST PLC

Payment of a Third Interim Dividend

In accordance with its normal policy, the Company expects to pay quarterly interim dividends each year in March, June, September and December.  The Company has previously indicated that the first three payments in respect of 2016 (in June, September and December) will, in the absence of unforeseen circumstances, be paid at a rate of 4.25 pence per share, being one quarter of the full year payment for 2015 (17.0 pence).  The fourth payment (in March 2017) 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 third interim dividend of 4.25 pence per ordinary share of 25 pence, in respect of the year ending 31 December 2016, will be paid on Friday 16 December 2016 to shareholders registered at the close of business on Friday 18 November 2016 (ex-dividend date Thursday 17 November 2016).
