Maven Income and Growth VCT 4 PLC

Proposed Final Dividend

The Directors of Maven Income and Growth VCT 4 PLC (the Company) confirm that the unaudited net asset value of the Company as at 31 December 2023 was 61.71p per Ordinary Share.

The Directors propose that a final dividend in respect of the year ended 31 December 2023, of 1.75p per Ordinary Share, be paid on 24 May 2024 to Shareholders on the register at close of business on 19 April 2024.

As Shareholders will be aware from recent Annual and Interim Reports, decisions on distributions take into consideration a number of factors, including the availability of surplus revenue, the realisation of capital gains, the adequacy of distributable reserves and the VCT qualifying level. The Board and the Manager recognise the importance of tax-free distributions to Shareholders and, subject to the conditions set out above, will seek, as a guide, to pay an annual dividend that represents 5% of the NAV per share at the immediately preceding year end. This final dividend will bring total distributions for the financial year to 3.50p per Ordinary Share, representing an annual yield of 5.12%.

Since the Company's launch, and after receipt of this final dividend, a total of 92.85p per Ordinary Share will have been distributed in tax-free dividends. It should be noted that the effect of paying dividends is to reduce the NAV of the Company by the total cost of the distribution.

Dividend Investment Scheme

The Company has in place a Dividend Investment Scheme (DIS) through which Shareholders may elect to have their dividend payments used to apply for new Ordinary Shares issued by the Company under the standing authority requested from Shareholders at Annual General Meetings. Shares issued under the DIS should qualify for VCT tax reliefs applicable for the tax year in which they are allotted. Terms & conditions of the scheme, together with a mandate form, are available from the Company's webpage at: mavencp.com/migvct4.

Shareholders who have not previously applied to participate in the DIS and who wish to do so in respect of the dividend payable on 24 May 2024, should ensure that a mandate form is received by the Registrar, The City Partnership (UK) Limited, prior to the dividend election date of 10 May 2024.

Further to the information disclosed above, the Directors confirm that they are satisfied that all inside information (as defined by Article 7 of the Market Abuse Regulation (596/2014/EU)) that the Directors and the Company may have in their possession relating to the Company during the 30 day closed period leading up to the announcement of its annual results for the year ended 31 December 2023 has been or will be notified to a regulatory information service.
