ISSUE OF EQUITY

Northern 2 VCT PLC (“the Company”) announces that on 4 September 2020 it allotted 745,715 ordinary shares of 5p each to shareholders who agreed to subscribe for shares under the terms of the Company's Dividend Investment Scheme.  The subscription price was 53.5p per share.  Following the above allotment, there are 163,786,414 ordinary shares in issue.

Application will be made at the earliest practicable opportunity for these shares, which will rank pari passu with existing ordinary shares, to be admitted to the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's market for listed securities, and dealings are expected to commence by 15 September 2020.

In conformity with the Financial Conduct Authority’s Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules (the “DTRs”), the Company notifies the market that the capital of the Company as at 4 September 2020 consists of 163,786,414 ordinary shares with a nominal value of 5p each.  All the ordinary shares have voting rights.  The Company does not hold any shares in treasury.  The total number of voting rights in the Company is therefore 163,786,414 (“the Figure”).  The Figure may be used by a shareholder or other person as the denominator for the calculations by which he will determine if he is required to notify the voting rights he holds in relation to the Company, or a change to those voting rights, under the DTRs.
