Market Purchase by the Company of its own Ordinary Shares

Witan Investment Trust plc hereby gives notification that, pursuant to the authority granted at the Annual General Meeting of the Company held on 10 May 2011 to make market purchases of the Company's own shares, a market purchase of 20,000 ordinary shares of 25p each of the Company was made today at a price of 498 pence per share. 

Following the purchase and cancellation of the above shares, 192,098,000 ordinary shares of 25p each will remain in issue. 

The capital of the Company with full voting rights is now the above number of ordinary shares of 25p each.  On a poll, ordinary shareholders have one vote for every £1 in nominal value (ie four ordinary shares are required for one vote).  Therefore, the total number of voting rights is 48,024,500 (ie one vote for every four shares in issue) and this figure may be used as the denominator for calculations of interests in the Company's voting rights.
