Realisation of investment in DiGiCo Europe Limited
The Board of Matrix Income & Growth VCT plc ("the Company") is pleased to
announce the realisation of the majority of its investment in DiGiCo Europe
Limited ("DiGiCo") through a sale to ISIS Equity Partners. This realisation has
increased the total cash proceeds received by the Company over the life of the
investment by £4.2 million to £5.9 million, representing a 3.0 times cash
return on the Company's original investment of £1.9 million.
In addition, the Company retains a 4.65% equity stake and new loan stock in
DiGiCo valued at £2.6 million at the date of completion of the transaction. The
total return to date equates to approximately £8.5 million; a 4.36 times return
on the Company's original cost. This transaction represents an uplift in NAV of
approximately 7.04 pence per share from the last NAV the Company announced at
30 September 2011.
DiGiCo manufactures and distributes sound mixing consoles which are in demand
at major corporate and sporting events worldwide. Its sustained strong profit
growth since investment has been largely driven by product development and a
series of successful launches.
