Statement re Press Comment


 
TIDMGRT 
 
Gartmore Group Limited 
 
                                ("the Company") 
 
In response to press speculation, Gartmore confirms that it has entered into 
negotiations with Henderson Group plc about a conditional offer by Henderson to 
acquire the entire share capital of the Company. These negotiations are on the 
basis of a proposal at a slight discount to the Gartmore share price at the 
close of trading on December 16, 2010 (i). 
 
At this stage there can be no certainty that these discussions will result in a 
formal offer being made for the Company either on these or on any other terms. 
 
A further announcement will be made in due course. 
 
As previously advised, by virtue of its status as a Cayman Island incorporated 
company the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the "City Code") does not apply 
to the Company. 
 
Shareholders are reminded that while the Company's Articles of Association 
reflect certain provisions of the City Code the Takeover Panel does not have 
responsibility for ensuring compliance with the City Code and is not able to 
answer shareholders queries in relation to the Company. 
 
In particular, public disclosures consistent with the provisions of Rule 8.3 of 
the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers should not be emailed to the Takeover 
Panel but should be released directly through a Regulatory Information Service. 
 
Shareholders and others dealing in ordinary shares of the Company are not 
obliged to disclose any of their dealings (other than disclosures required 
under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules). However, market participants are 
requested by the Company to make disclosures of dealings as if the City Code 
applied and as if the Company were in an offer period under the City Code. The 
Company's website contains the form of disclosure requested. If you are in any 
doubt as to whether or not you should disclose dealings, you should consult the 
Company.
