                        THE BANKERS INVESTMENT TRUST PLC

            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a)         there is no unpublished information which constitutes price sensitive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 1 May 2008 (as at close of
business on 30 April 2008) and the financial information to be published in the
preliminary announcement of its half year 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.


The close period to which this relates is in respect of the financial half year
ended 30 April 2008.
