Tender Offer

NEW CENTURY AIM VCT PLC

The Board of New Century Aim VCT Plc announces that it has arranged a Tender Offer to purchase up to 10% in aggregate of the Company’s issued share capital at a 5% discount to net asset value based on the closing prices of the 10^th December, 2015. Shareholder approval for this offer was given at the latest AGM.

The Board is aware that liquidity in the shares has been difficult which on occasions has led to a wide disparity between the share price and net asset value. The buy back helps to address this issue and allows shareholders that should so wish, to dispose of shares at a price which more fully reflects the net asset value. Shares not tendered in the buy back will be available for excess applications by shareholders wishing to sell more than 10% of their holding. On the 11^th November, 2015, a 5% discount to the net asset value per share represented 77.46p per share. Should the buy back price fall to below 74p when calculated on the 10^th December, 2015, the buy back offer would be withdrawn and shareholders would be notified of new buy back proposals. It is the intention of the Board to carry out further buy backs from time to time.

Full details of the Tender Offer are contained in a circular sent to all registered shareholders on the 19^th November, 2015.
