British Smaller Companies VCT plc ("the Company")

Purchase of Own Securities and Total Voting Rights

The Company announces that on 25 March 2014 it purchased 308,217 ordinary shares of 10 pence each at a price of 89.80 pence per share. These shares will be held in Treasury.

Adjusting for the allotment of 215,781 shares under the Company's Dividend Re-investment Scheme on 21 March 2014, if these shares had been purchased prior to the quarter ended 31 December 2013, the Net Asset Value per ordinary share of the Company at that date would have increased by 0.1 pence from 101.5 to 101.6 pence per ordinary share.

The Company's issued share capital now consists of 49,793,555 ordinary shares with voting rights. In addition, the Company holds 2,469,502 shares in Treasury.

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.

The Company is about to enter into a close period on account of its year ended 31 March 2014 and the Directors and the Company consider that all price sensitive information has been declared to the market.
