The following amendments have been made to the announcement of Market Purchase by the Company of its own Ordinary Shares  released on 14 June 2012 at 17.18 under RNS No. 4222F:

The number of ordinary shares of 25p remaining in issue is 191,272,500 not 191,265,000.  The total number of voting rights is 47,818,125, not 47,816,250.

All other details remain unchanged.

The full amended text is shown below.

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 1 May 2012 to make market purchases of the Company's own shares, a market purchase of 17,500 ordinary shares of 25p each of the Company was made on 14 June 2012 at a price of 438.4 pence per share. 

Following the purchase and cancellation of the above shares, 191,272,500 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 47,818,125 (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.
