British Smaller Companies VCT plc ("the Company")

Purchase of Own Securities and Total Voting Rights 

The Company announces that on 23 December 2009 it purchased 190,000 Ordinary Shares of 10 pence each at a price of 74.0 pence per share. These shares will be held in Treasury.

The Company's issued share capital now consists of 30,626,423 Ordinary Shares with voting rights. In addition, the Company holds 1,382,837 shares in Treasury.

If these shares had been purchased prior to the six month period ended 30 September 2009, and on the assumption that there were no other alterations, the net asset value per Ordinary Share of the Company at that date would have increased from 90.6 pence to 90.7 pence per Ordinary Share.

The above figure may be used by Shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in the Company under the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
