ALLOTMENT OF SHARES

The Company announces the allotment on 24 May 2012 of 200,000 ordinary shares of 5p each fully paid for cash at a price of 123p 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 30 May 2012.

The number of ordinary shares in issue is now 90,730,744.  Each share has one vote; therefore the total number of voting rights in the Company is 90,730,744. 

The above figure 90,730,744 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.
