                           WITAN INVESTMENT TRUST PLC



            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a)         there is no unpublished information which constitutes price sensitive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 announced on 28 December 2007
(as at close of business on 27 December 2007) and the financial information to
be published in the preliminary announcement of its annual results for the year
ended 31 December 2007;



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 2007.

                                    - ENDS -
