As a result of the conversion during July 2009 and August 2009 of 2,858 Convertible Preferred Ordinary Shares of 100p each ("CPO Shares"), the conversion during July 2009 of 1,200 Cumulative Convertible Preference Shares of 60p each ("Preference Shares"), and the issue on 1 September 2009 of 125,781 Ordinary Shares of 1p each ("Ordinary Shares") under the Company's scrip dividend reinvestment scheme, Celtic plc's current issued share capital is as follows:

486,810,315 Deferred Shares of 1p each

Cumulative Convertible Preference Shares do not carry voting rights. Deferred Shares are not listed, are not transferable and carry no voting rights or substantive economic rights.

The above figures for Ordinary Shares and CPO Shares may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in voting rights under the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
