This notification follows a transfer on 24 March 2014 of 383,000 shares (0.25% of issued) by Lord Rothschild to a Rothschild family charity of which he is the Patron and Chairman of the Board of Trustees.

Following the above transfer Hannah Rothschild, a director of RIT, has today advised the Company in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the UK Listing Authority that her family interests in the £1 ordinary shares of RIT comprise the following:

Hannah Rothschild is a Member and a Director of the Board of Trustees of the transferee Rothschild family charity.

The interests above comprise direct and indirect holdings. Indirect beneficial interests may include shares held by trusts or settlements where more than one Director, or person(s) connected to such Directors, may be members of a class of beneficiaries. In such instances, all shares held by the trust or settlement concerned are included in the total beneficial interests of the relevant Directors and will therefore be disclosed more than once. Non-beneficial interests similarly may include shares held by entities where more than one Director has significant influence, for example as a Trustee. In such instances all of the shares held by the entity concerned will be included in the non-beneficial interests of each of the relevant Directors and therefore will also be disclosed more than once. The above disclosures include 6,910,666 shares held beneficially and 12,976,839 shares held non-beneficially in which both Lord Rothschild and Hannah Rothschild are interested either as trustees or beneficiaries of trusts or settlements.
