Investments Company (NASDAQ:SEIC) today declared a dividend of $.08 (eight cents) per share. The cash dividend will be payable to shareholders of record on January&nbsp;6, 2009 with a payment date of January&nbsp;22, 2009. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition, the Board of Directors today announced that its has adopted a shareholder rights plan designed to ensure that all shareholders of the
company receive fair and equal treatment in the event of an unsolicited takeover proposal. The plan is intended to safeguard against coercive tactics designed to gain control of the company without allowing all shareholders to realize the long-term
value of their investment, particularly in light of the current market price of SEI&#146;s common stock and the extreme volatility in the stock markets. The rights plan is also designed to enhance the company&#146;s ability to negotiate with a
prospective acquirer. The rights plan was not adopted in response to any specific effort to acquire control of the company. This shareholder rights plan is similar to the shareholder rights plan of the company that is scheduled to terminate on
December&nbsp;19, 2008. Under the shareholder rights plan, each holder of SEI common stock at the close of business on January&nbsp;6, 2009, will receive one right for each share of common stock held. A summary of the rights plan will be included in
a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by SEI with the Securities and Exchange Commission and will also be mailed to shareholders of record of SEI&#146;s common stock following the January&nbsp;6, 2009 record date. </FONT></P> <P
