Tavistock Investments Plc

("Tavistock" or the "Company")

AGM statement

Confirmation of no tax charge on disposal of Tavistock Wealth

Increase in Net Asset Value per share

7 October 2021

Tavistock's Annual General Meeting is scheduled to take place at 11.00am today at the Company's offices at 1 Queen's Square, Ascot Business Park, Lyndhurst Road, Ascot, Berkshire SL5 9FE.

At the meeting, the Company's Chairman, Oliver Cooke, will advise shareholders that the Company has now received confirmation that the recent disposal of Tavistock Wealth Limited to Titan Wealth Holdings Limited (the "Transaction"), completion of which was announced on 31 August 2021, qualifies for Substantial Shareholding Exemption ("SSE"). As a consequence, no tax charge will be incurred on receipt of the consideration of up to £40 million in cash. In the absence of the SSE, the Transaction might have given rise to a tax charge of approximately £7 million.

The Chairman will also advise that the Company's unaudited management accounts indicate that the Company's net asset value per share has risen from 2.59p at 31 March 2021 to 8.5p at 31 August 2021.  This is as a consequence of both the completion of the Transaction and the recent buy-back and cancellation of 4.75% of the Company's issued shares.
