CELTIC PLC
Issued share capital
1 February 2008


As a result of conversions of Convertible Preferred Ordinary Shares of 100p
('CPO Shares') and Cumulative Convertible Preference Shares of 60 p each (CCP
Shares) in the capital of Celtic plc during January 2008, the Company's issued
share capital at 31 January 2008 was as follows:


88,555,061         Ordinary Shares of 1p each
14,530,591         Cumulative Convertible Preferred Ordinary Shares of 100p each
16,795,912         Cumulative Convertible Preference Shares of 60 p each
441,484,631        Deferred Shares of 1p each


Cumulative Convertible Preference Shares do not carry voting rights. Deferred
Shares are not listed, are not transferable and carry no voting rights or
substantive economic rights.

The above figures for Ordinary Shares and CPO Shares may be used by shareholders
as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are
required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest, under the
FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

Application has been made for the 60,439 new Ordinary Shares of 1p each arising
from these conversions ( 57,408 arising from conversion of 27,600 CPO shares and
3,031 arising from conversion of 3,031 CCP Shares) to be listed, with effect
from 11 February 2008.

End.
