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

The Bankers Investment Trust PLC ("the Company") 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a) there is no unpublished information which constitutes price sensitive information in respect of the Company's securities;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 announced on 13 November 2009 (as at close of business on 12 November 2009) and the financial information to be published in the preliminary announcement of its year end results;

d) the Company has unquoted investments, the directors' valuations of which have been included in the net asset values published on a daily basis; and

e) a dividend may be declared at the end of the close period but is not expected to be price sensitive.

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, purchases of its own securities. If, in the period leading up to the preliminary 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.
