The following replaces the "Transaction In Own Shares" announcement released on Friday 28 January 2011 under RNS 3043A, which stated the incorrect number of Treasury Shares.  The full amended text appears below.

British Portfolio Trust plc announces that on 28 January 2011 it purchased, for cancellation, 75,000 Ordinary 1p Shares (representing 0.24% of the issued Ordinary Capital), at a price of 144.5p per Ordinary Share.

Settlement of the purchased 75,000 Ordinary Shares is due on 2 February 2011.

Following the purchase and cancellation of the 75,000 Ordinary Shares, the total number of Treasury shares held by the Company will be 5,354,664. The issued share capital of the Company, less the total number of Ordinary Shares held in Treasury, will be 31,074,820 Ordinary 1p Shares.
