   NORTHERN INVESTORS COMPANY PLC 
 
   RESULT OF TENDER OFFER AND PURCHASE OF OWN SHARES 
 
   On 6 February 2014 Northern Investors Company PLC (the "Company") 
announced a Tender Offer by Oriel Securities, on behalf of the Company, 
to purchase up to 28.03% of the Company's issued share capital at a 
price of 415 pence per Share, equivalent to the unaudited net asset 
value per Share as at 31 December 2013 less an adjustment for the 
estimated costs of the Tender Offer.  The Company now announces the 
result of the Tender Offer, which closed on 28 February 2014, the 
requisite authority for the purchase of Shares by the Company having 
been granted by shareholders at the general meeting held on 3 March 
2014. 
 
   Valid tenders were received in respect of 7,310,556 Shares (representing 
approximately 60.3% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at 
the Record Date, 11 February 2014).  The Tender Offer was therefore 
oversubscribed. 
 
   In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer, the 
Company has accepted in full all applications made by Eligible 
Shareholders up to their 28.03% Basic Entitlement.  As certain Eligible 
Shareholders did not take up their 28.03% Basic Entitlement, the Company 
has also accepted, in part, those applications made by Eligible 
Shareholders in excess of their 28.03% Basic Entitlement, scaled back on 
a pro rata basis, such that approximately 10.4% of such excess tenders 
were satisfied. 
 
   The total number of Shares for which applications were accepted under 
the Tender Offer was 3,400,000, representing 28.03% of the Company's 
issued ordinary share capital as at the Record Date, and accordingly on 
4 March 2014 the Company purchased for cancellation 3,400,000 Shares at 
the Tender Price of 415p per Share in accordance with the terms of the 
Tender Offer.  Immediately following this transaction there were 
8,728,440 Shares in issue. 
 
   Payment of the Tender Price due to Shareholders whose tenders under the 
Tender Offer have been accepted is expected to be made (by cheque or by 
payment through CREST, as appropriate) by 7 March 2014. 
 
   Defined terms in this announcement have the same meaning as in the 
Circular to Shareholders dated 6 February 2014.
