                 HENDERSON PRIVATE EQUITY INVESTMENT TRUST PLC 
 
           Transactions in a Close Period - Listing Rule 15.5.1 (4) 
 
Henderson Private Equity Investment Trust plc ("the Company") confirms that: 
 
a) there is no unpublished information which constitutes price sensitive 
information in respect of the Company's securities; 
 
b) the Company's net asset value per share is calculated and announced through 
a Regulated Information Service ("RIS") on a monthly basis; 
 
c) the Company has no reason to believe that there will be any material 
difference between the net asset value announced on 11 February 2013 (as at 
close of business on 31 January 2013) and the financial information to be 
published in the announcement of its year end results; and 
 
d) the Company has limited partnership investments, the directors' valuations 
of which have been included in the net asset values published on a monthly 
basis. 
 
The Company is therefore exempt during the close period from the provisions of 
the Model Code in respect of dealings by persons discharging managerial 
responsibilities, purchases of its own securities and the allotment of 
securities. If, in the period leading up to the announcement of the results, 
the directors or the Company come into possession of any inside information, 
this will be notified to a RIS before any such transactions are undertaken. 
 
The close period to which this relates is in respect of the year ended 31 
December 2012.
