The Company announces the allotment on 19 September 2012 of 200,000 ordinary shares of 5p each fully paid for cash at a price of 138.00p per share ("New Shares").

 

The New Shares rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares. Application is now being made for the New Shares to be admitted to the premium segment of the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities, and dealings are expected to commence on or around 25 September 2012.

 

The number of ordinary shares in issue is now 93,305,744.  Each share has one vote; therefore the total number of voting rights in the Company is 93,305,744. 

 

The above figure 93,305,744    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 to their interest in, Henderson High Income Trust plc under the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

 

Proceeds are to be invested in UK Equities in line with the Company's objectives.
