Net Asset Values and Allotment Procedures
Net Asset Values
The Boards of the Companies announce that the net asset values of their
Ordinary shares as at 12 March 2010 were as follows:
* Baronsmead VCT 3 plc - 98.53p per share
* Baronsmead VCT 4 plc - 91.65p per share
These net assets values will be used to determine the Offer Price for the Final
Allotment.
Final Allotment
It is anticipated that the shares will be allotted on Tuesday 23 March 2010
with respect to successful applications received between Monday 1 March 2010
and Wednesday 17 March 2010 when the Joint Offer became fully subscribed.
Offer Price per New Ordinary Share for the Final Allotment
Based on the net asset values as at 12 March 2010, Offer Prices of New Ordinary
Shares to be allotted in the Final Allotment will be as follows:
* Baronsmead VCT 3 plc - 104.50p per New Ordinary Share
* Baronsmead VCT 4 plc - 97.00p per New Ordinary Share
In accordance with the Prospectus dated 18th January 2010, the Offer Prices at
which the New Ordinary Shares will be allotted in each Company have been
calculated separately on the basis of the following formula (the "Pricing
Formula"):
Latest published net asset value of an existing Ordinary Share (NAV) divided by
0.945 (to allow for issue costs of 5.5 per cent.) rounded up to the nearest
0.5p per share.
As a result, the Offer Prices have been calculated as follows:
Offer Prices of New Ordinary Shares for the Final Allotment
Baronsmead VCT 3 plc Baronsmead VCT 4 plc
(pence per New (pence per New
Ordinary Share) Ordinary Share)
Latest published NAV 98.53 91.65

Allotment Procedure
The amount of an investor's subscription will be split into two equal monetary
amounts, for example an investment of £20,000 will be split so that £10,000
will be invested in each Company. The following worked example shows how the
number of New Ordinary Shares that would be allotted to an investor who
subscribes £20,000 in the Joint Offer in time for the Final Allotment is
calculated. In the example below the allotment ignores any additional New
Ordinary Shares that may be allotted if an authorised financial adviser has
waived some or all of the introductory commission that would otherwise be due
to them and requested that this waived commission be reinvested in additional
shares for the benefit of their client.
