Maven Income and Growth VCT 4 PLC

Net Asset Value (NAV) and Interim Dividend

The Directors of Maven Income and Growth VCT 4 PLC (the Company) confirm that the unaudited NAV of the Company as at 30 June 2020 was 64.73p per Ordinary Share.

As Shareholders will be aware from recent Annual and Interim Reports, decisions on distributions take into consideration the availability of surplus revenue, the realisation of capital gains, the adequacy of distributable reserves and the VCT qualifying level. These factors are kept under close and regular review by the Board and the Manager, both of whom recognise the importance of tax-free distributions to Shareholders.

In light of the recent realisation activity, the Board is pleased to declare that, in respect of the year ending 31 December 2020, an interim dividend of 1.00p per Ordinary Share will be paid on 2 October 2020 to Shareholders on the register at close of business on 4 September 2020.  Since the Company's launch, and after receipt of this latest dividend, 78.60p per 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 (DIS)

Your Company has in place a 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 granted by Shareholders at AGMs. On 26 March 2020, the Board announced that the DIS had been suspended due to the volatility in financial markets caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, with the payment of the final dividend for the year ended 31 December 2019 on 22 May 2020 being made by either cheque or bank transfer using existing mandate instructions.

The Directors have resolved to re-introduce the DIS with immediate effect. This means that, unless they advise the Company otherwise, those Shareholders who had previously elected to participate in the DIS will revert to receiving new shares with effect from 2 October 2020, being the payment date of the declared interim dividend. Shareholders who have not previously applied to participate in the DIS but wish to do so in respect of the interim dividend payable on 2 October 2020, should ensure that a mandate form, or CREST instruction if appropriate, is received by the Registrar, Link Market Services, prior to the dividend election date of 18 September 2020. Shares issued under the DIS should, subject to an individual Shareholder's particular circumstances, qualify for VCT tax reliefs applicable for the tax year in which they are allotted. The terms & conditions of the scheme, together with a mandate form, are available from the Company's website at: www.mavencp.com/migvct4 .

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 interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2020 has been or will be notified to a regulatory information service.
