Result of New Star General Meeting 
 
At a general meeting of New Star Asset Management Group PLC ("New Star" or the 
"Company") held earlier today, the Company's shareholders approved the proposed 
cancellation of admission of its ordinary shares of 25 pence each ("New Star 
Shares") to the Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's 
market for listed securities (the "De-listing"). 
 
It is expected that cancellation of admission of New Star Shares to the 
Official List will take effect from 8.00 a.m. on 10 March 2009 and that trading 
in New Star Shares on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed 
securities will cease from the close of business on 9 March 2009. 
 
As previously announced, New Star's proposed capital restructuring (the " 
Restructuring") is conditional upon, inter alia, the De-listing becoming 
effective. In addition, the recommended offer announced by Henderson Group plc 
("Henderson") for the Company is conditional, inter alia, upon the De-listing 
and the Restructuring becoming effective. 
 
New Star expects to despatch a further circular to shareholders on or about 11 
March 2009 with respect to the Restructuring and also expects Henderson to 
despatch its offer document to shareholders on or around that date.
