Directors' Interests


Grants of Share Appreciation Rights ('SARs') over £1 ordinary shares of RIT
Capital Partners plc ('RITCP') have today been made to the following directors,
under the terms of the J. Rothschild Capital Management Share Appreciation
Rights Plan, as follows:

Director           SAR exercise price     Notional no. of RITCP ord. shares

Lord Rothschild                  939p      127,795
Duncan Budge                     939p       95,846
David Haysey                     939p       69,222


SAR grants entitle the holder to the payment of a bonus between the third and
tenth anniversaries of the relevant date of grant, calculated by reference to a
notional number of RITCP £1 ordinary shares. The bonus will amount to the
increase since the date of grant in the RITCP share price multiplied by the
notional number of shares.


In each of the cases above, the SARs awarded shall be exercisable between 15
March 2010 and 14 March 2017, conditional upon the performance hurdle being
achieved in the three years' vesting period ending on 15 March 2010. The hurdle
is calculated by reference to the RITCP share price plus dividends paid, which
must exceed RPI plus 3% per annum.


Following the grants made today, the outstanding SARs held by the directors are
as follows:
