The Company has received valid applications for 9,637,280 New Shares which will be allotted at an issue price of 51.40 pence per share. The total net proceeds receivable by the Company for this allotment is approximately £4.8 million, bringing net total raised to date under the prospectus to £10.3 million. The issue pricing of the New Shares has been structured to avoid any capital dilution to existing shareholders who do not participate in the Offers.

Application has been made to the Financial Conduct Authority for 9,637,280 New Shares to be admitted to the Official List and to the London Stock Exchange for the New Shares to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's market for listed securities. The New Shares rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares in issue.

It is expected that admission to the Official List will become effective and that dealings in the New Shares will commence within three Business Days following allotment.

The Offers which constitute separate offers have been fully subscribed and all have been closed to further applications. The total amount raised across the Albion VCTs under the Offers is £80 million (of which £77.6 million relates to this tax year 2022/2023).

The Company's capital as at 31 March 2023 consists of 158,716,332 ordinary shares with a nominal value of 1 penny each. The Company holds 19,137,781 ordinary shares in Treasury.

Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 139,578,551, which may be used by shareholders and other persons 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 FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
