Offer for Subscription - Close of Offer

The Board of Baronsmead Venture Trust plc (the "Company") announced on 16 December 2022 that the Company, together with Baronsmead Second Venture Trust plc, had published a prospectus (the "Prospectus") in relation to offers for subscription to raise up to £40 million in aggregate with the discretion to utilise over-allotment facilities to raise up to a further £10 million in aggregate (the "Offers" and each an "Offer").

On 21 February 2023, the Board announced that it intended to utilise the Over-allotment Facility and that Applications were being accepted to raise up to an additional £5 million available under the Over-allotment Facility.

The Board has been advised that, on the basis of valid Applications received under the Offer, the Offer is now fully subscribed. Accordingly, the Offer is now closed and no further Applications for New Shares will be accepted.

As announced previously, the Second Allotment under the Offer is expected to take place on or around 13 March 2023.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Offer in respect of Baronsmead Second Venture Trust plc remains open.

Terms used in this announcement have the same meaning as defined in the Prospectus.
