Albion Venture Capital Trust PLC
                 Launch of the Albion VCTs Linked Top Up Offer

Further to the announcement made on 7 October 2010, the Board is pleased to
announce the launch today of the Albion VCTs Linked Top Up Offer (the 'Offer').

This Offer is aiming to raise up to £15m across all of the seven VCTs managed by
Albion Ventures LLP (the 'Albion VCTs'), of which Albion Venture Capital Trust
PLC's share will be approximately £2.25m.

The maximum amount raised by each of the Albion VCTs will be the lower of Euros
2.5 million, and 10 per cent. of its issued share capital (over any one 12 month
period, and including any shares issued under Dividend Reinvestment Schemes),
being the amount that they may issue under the Prospectus Rules without the
publication of a full prospectus. The number of New Shares available may change
depending on the £: euro exchange rate at the date of allotment.

The proceeds of the Offer will be used to provide further resources to the
Albion VCTs at a time when a number of attractive new investment opportunities
