HENDERSON INVESTMENT FUNDS LIMITED


THE BANKERS INVESTMENT TRUST PLC


LEGAL ENTITY IDENTIFIER: 213800B9YWXL3X1VMZ69


22 January 2021


THE BANKERS INVESTMENT TRUST PLC


Share Split and Total Voting Rights


The Bankers Investment Trust PLC (the 'Company') today announces further details of the

previously announced sub-division (the ‘Share Split’) of each ordinary share of 25p each (‘Existing

Ordinary Share') into 10 ordinary shares of 2.5p each ('New Ordinary Shares'), subject to the

approval of the Share Split at the Company's Annual General Meeting (‘AGM’), which will be held

on Wednesday, 24 February 2021.


The Share Split is also conditional on the New Ordinary Shares being admitted to the Official List

of the Financial Conduct Authority and to trading on the London Stock Exchange’s main market

for listed securities. Applications for such admissions (the ‘Admission Applications’) are being

made and it is expected that such admissions will become effective, and that dealings in the New

Ordinary Shares will commence, at 8.00am on Monday, 1 March 2021, at which time the Share

Split will become effective. The last day of trading in the Existing Ordinary Shares is expected to

be, therefore, Friday, 26 February 2021 and the record date for the Share Split is 5.00pm on that

date (the 'Record Date').


Shareholders will receive 10 New Ordinary Shares in exchange for each Existing Ordinary Share

held at the Record Date. CREST accounts are expected to be credited with New Ordinary Shares

on Monday, 1 March 2021 and share certificates in respect of the New Ordinary Shares are

expected to be posted to shareholders no later than Monday, 15 March 2021.


The New Ordinary Shares will have a new ISIN and SEDOL, as follows:


New ISIN: GB00BN4NDR39

New SEDOL: BN4NDR3


The ticker for the New Ordinary Shares will remain the same as the ticker for the Existing Ordinary

Shares (BNKR). The New Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with each other and will be subject

to the same rights and restrictions as the Existing Ordinary Shares. Subject to the proposed new

Articles of Association being approved by shareholders at the AGM, with effect from such approval

each Existing Ordinary Share will have one vote per share on a poll. Each New Ordinary Share

will also have one vote per share on a poll. A holding of New Ordinary Shares following the Share

Split will represent the same proportion of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as the

corresponding holding of Existing Ordinary Shares immediately prior to the Share Split.


The Company currently has 130,132,783 Existing Ordinary Shares in issue (no Existing Ordinary

Shares are held in treasury). On this basis, in accordance with the Financial Conduct Authority's



('FCA') Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rule 5.6, the Company advises that, following the

completion of the Share Split, as at 1 March 2021 the Company will have 1,301,327,830 New

Ordinary Shares in issue (assuming no further shares are issued by the Company prior to the

Share Split).


The Admission Applications include the 2,573,192 Existing Ordinary Shares remaining available

for issue pursuant to the Company’s current block listing facility and, therefore, upon the Share

Split becoming effective, there will be 2,573,192 New Ordinary Shares available for issue pursuant

to that facility (assuming no further shares are issued by the Company prior to the Share Split).


For New Zealand

In order for the Share Split to be processed and for trading on the NZX Main Board to continue, a

temporary ticker code (BITZ) with the new ISIN will be created. BITZ will be used from the

commencement of trading on Thursday, 25 February 2021 until close of trading on Friday, 26

February 2021. On Monday, 1 March 2021, trading will resume using the original ticker code (BIT)

with the new ISIN continuing to be used. At this time, trading in the BITZ temporary ticker code will

cease.
