UNICORN AIM VCT PLC
Enhanced Buyback Facility
The Board of Unicorn AIM VCT plc ("the Company") is pleased to announce that
the Company's enhanced buy-back facility as set out in the circular to
shareholders of the Company dated 22 February 2013 ("Enhanced Buyback
Facility") has now closed.
All correctly completed applications in respect of the Enhanced Buyback
Facility (i.e. both shareholders' basic entitlement and, where elected,
additional shares tendered) have been accepted in full and, as a result, there
has been no scaling back of applications.
The Company has today purchased 7,365,558 ordinary shares of 1 pence each
("Shares") at a price of 108.5 pence per share and allotted 7,141,491 new
Shares at 111.9 pence per share pursuant to the Enhanced Buyback Facility.
The new Shares rank pari passu in all respects with the existing share capital
of the Company.
Application has been made to the UK Listing Authority and the London Stock
Exchange for the new Shares to be admitted to the Official List and to trade on
the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities. It is expected
that admission will become effective and dealings will commence on or around 8
April 2013.
As a result, of the buyback and allotment of shares undertaken today pursuant
to the Enhanced Buyback Facility there are now 56,770,336 Shares in issue.
The above figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the
calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their
interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FSA's
Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
