Scrip Calculation Price for March 2011 Dividend in relation to the Scrip Dividend Scheme

On 17 May 2010 the Board of MedicX Fund Limited announced an opportunity for qualifying Shareholders to receive relevant dividends in new ordinary shares instead of in cash (the "Scheme").

In relation to the dividend for the period 1 October 2010 to 31 December 2010 payable on 31 March 2011 (the "March 2011 Dividend"), the price of a new ordinary share in relation to the Scrip Dividend Scheme (the "Scrip Calculation Price") has been set at 72.43 pence. This is the average of the closing middle market quotations for the Company's ordinary shares for the five consecutive business days commencing on the ex-dividend date of 16 February 2011.

In order to be valid, Mandate forms must be received by the Company's registrars, Capita Registrars, (or CREST instructions entered) by no later than 5:00 p.m. on 10 March 2011 (the "Mandate Delivery Deadline") in order for elections under the Scrip Dividend Scheme to be effective in relation to the March 2011 Dividend. The Company mailed, on 22 February 2011, personalised Mandate Forms to Shareholders new on the Register since 19 November 2010 and before 18 February 2011 (the "Record Date"). Other Shareholders can use their Mandate Forms issued on either 17 May 2010, 24 August 2010 or 23 November 2010, or obtain Mandate Forms from Capita Registrars.

Mandate Forms remain valid for all Relevant Dividends where a Scrip Dividend Alternative is offered, until cancelled. Therefore, Shareholders who have previously completed a Mandate Form but no longer wish to receive a Scrip Dividend should write to Capita Registrars (at the address on page 5 of the Chairman's letter) by no later than 5.00 p.m. on the Mandate Delivery Deadline for the Relevant Dividend to inform them that they wish to revoke the election and receive a cash dividend. 

Shareholders who do not wish to receive a Scrip Dividend Alternative and have not previously completed a Mandate Form need take no further action and will receive a cash dividend in respect of the March 2011 Dividend in the usual way. The payment date in respect of the March 2011 Dividend is 31 March 2011. 

Shareholders who have any questions regarding the Scrip Dividend Scheme should contact the Capita Registrars helpline on 0871 664 0321*

*Calls made to this number are charged at 10 pence per minute plus network charges. Lines are open 8.30 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. (London time) Monday to Friday (except Bank Holidays).
