Keydata Income VCT 2 Keydata Income VCT 2 plc RNS Announcement Investments The Company is pleased to announce that it has entered into investment commitments in respect of ten Scottish windfarm companies, the principal terms of which are as follows: 1 The Company will be investing an aggregate of £4,000,000 in ten newly formed companies, incorporated in England & Wales, (each a 'Windfarm Investment Company'). It is intended that each Windfarm Investment Company will own and operate one wind turbine. The Company will invest £400,000 in each Windfarm Investment Company by way of subscription for shares and variable rate unsecured loan notes. 2 At the time of investment, each Windfarm Investment Company will have conditionally agreed to acquire from a subsidiary of Falck Renewables Limited ('Falck') a company established to construct and operate a one turbine windfarm in Scotland ('Project Subsidiary'). 3 Falck is presently developing, through its subsidiaries, a number of windfarms in Scotland ('Windfarms'). Each Windfarm is at a different stage of development with construction start dates currently targeted from August 2006. In each case, Falck has secured land rights on which it is proposed that a Windfarm will be constructed. Planning permission has been granted in respect of two of the Windfarms (for a total of 26 wind turbines) and planning permission is being sought for a further 33 wind turbines on two additional windfarms. 4 Once the board of the relevant Windfarm Investment Company has carried out satisfactory due diligence on the relevant Windfarm and resolved to proceed and subject to the satisfaction of other conditions set out in the relevant share purchase agreement, the Company will provide further funding to the Windfarm Investment Company to enable it to complete the purchase of a Project Subsidiary and to fund the construction of the Windfarm by that Project Subsidiary. Such further investments will be made through a combination of paying-up unpaid amounts due on shares, subscription for further unsecured variable rate loan notes and zero coupon deep discount bonds. The precise amount of the further investments will depend on the final project costs together with costs and fees required to be paid for development and the sale price of the shares of the Project Subsidiary to be acquired by the relevant Windfarm Investment Company. The Company will be providing only a proportion of the total funding required by the Windfarm Investment Company, any shortfall to be sourced from third parties including Keydata Income VCT 2 plc and Falck. 5 Completion of the acquisition of the relevant Project Subsidiary will only proceed once the Project Subsidiary has acquired all the necessary rights to enable it to construct, own and operate the relevant Windfarm. An affiliated company of Falck will provide services for the technical and commercial operation of the Windfarm on behalf of the Project Subsidiary and the Project Subsidiary will enter into a long term power sales agreement with a Falck group company for the Windfarm's output and related products. 6 Green Power 2 Limited, the investment manager of the Company, will also provide construction and operational management services to each Project Subsidiary under the terms of a Project Subsidiary Management Contract for which it will receive an annual fee of 0.25% of the amount invested by the Company in the Windfarm Investment Company that owns the relevant Project Subsidiary plus VAT (escalating at UK CPI). The above investment structure is in line with the investment strategy outlined in the Company's prospectus issued on 15 December 2005.
