Net Asset Value

As at close of business on 30 April 2019 the unaudited net asset value per share, calculated in accordance with the AIC formula (including current year deficit and based on bid market values) was 1,446.17p.

As at the close of business on 30 April 2019 the adjusted NAV, as described below, for the purposes of calculating the performance fee, is 1,451.29p per share and the current benchmark-adjusted high water mark is 1,418.47p per share.

The Company therefore expects, subject to audit, to pay a performance fee in respect of the year ended 30 April 2019 to the investment manager. The performance fee has been accrued daily.

 Performance fee Arrangements

Polar Capital Technology Trust plc may pay a performance fee to its investment manager, Polar Capital LLP, which would be payable after the year end, as a result of outperformance over the benchmark index, if the NAV per share (after adjusting for share buy backs and issuance and any previous accrual for the performance fee) exceeds the benchmark-adjusted high-water mark. The precise amount of any performance fee payable is capped in accordance with the terms of the Investment Management Agreement and will be subject to external audit.

The high-water mark is the higher of the benchmark-adjusted NAV per share when the last performance fee was paid or the benchmark-adjusted NAV per share at the previous year end.

On 15 April 2019, the Company announced new performance fee arrangements as agreed with the Manager, Polar Capital, such arrangements come into effect from 1 May 2019. Full details of the new arrangements can be found within the document library of the Company's website at www.polarcapitaltechnologytrust.co.uk
