Henderson International Income Trust plc ("the Company")

Subscription Shares - Final Exercise and Issue of Ordinary Shares

Further to the announcement on 1 September 2014, the Company has been informed by the Subscription Trustee that it is exercising all of the 3,920,962 outstanding Subscription Rights on the same terms. Subscription Shareholders on whose behalf the Trustee has exercised Subscription Rights and is selling the resulting Ordinary Shares will receive the net proceeds of such sale after deduction of the Subscription Price of 100p together with all associated fees, costs and expenses plus brokerage commission. Net proceeds should be paid in the week commencing 15 September 2014 provided that aggregate entitlements per holder of under £5.00 shall be retained for the benefit of the Company.

The Company has applied for the listing of such new Ordinary Shares, which will rank equally in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares, on the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and for such Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market on or around 9 September.

Following the issue of new Ordinary Shares described above, the Company's issued share capital consists of 76,371,550 Ordinary Shares, with each share carrying the right to one vote, and no Subscription Shares.

The total number of voting rights in the Company is therefore 76,371,550. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
