                           WITAN INVESTMENT TRUST PLC

                      Payment of a Second Interim Dividend


Witan Investment Trust plc announces that a second interim dividend of 5.0p per
Ordinary Share of 25p, in respect of the year ended 31 December 2005, will be
paid on 3 April 2006 to shareholders registered at the close of business on 3
March 2006.



The Board has declared a second interim dividend instead of a final dividend in
order to ensure that, as in previous years, the distribution is made to the
shareholders before 5 April.



The Company announced in October 2004 its continued intention to grow the
dividend in line with inflation year on year.  The two interim dividends
declared in respect of 2005 total 8.80p (2004: 8.60p).
