Alliance Trust PLC : Dividend Declaration

Dividend Declaration

Alliance Trust PLC announces the declaration of a third interim dividend for the
period  ending 31 December 2011 of  2.141 pence per share,  payable on 3 January
2012 to shareholders on the register on 9 December 2011. The ex-dividend date is
7 December 2011.

The  dividend is in line  with that indicated in  our Annual Report and Accounts
for  the year ended 31 January  2011 and will be paid  one month earlier than in
previous  years to reflect the change in the Company's financial year end to 31
December.   In the absence of any  unforeseen developments, the Board expects to
be  able to recommend a fourth interim dividend of at least that amount, payable
on 2 April 2012.
