WITAN INVESTMENT TRUST PLC

Payment of a First 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 2023 (in June, September and December) will, in the absence of unforeseen circumstances, be paid at a rate of 1.45 pence per share, being one quarter of the full year payment for 2022 (5.80 pence).  The fourth payment (in March 2024) 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 first interim dividend of 1.45 pence per ordinary share of 5 pence, in respect of the year ending 31 December 2023, will be paid on Friday 9 June 2023 to shareholders registered at the close of business on Friday 19 May 2023 (ex-dividend date Thursday 18 May 2023).
