Result of Capital Raise

Further to the Company's announcements on 1 December 2021, Chrysalis Investments Limited announces that it has raised gross proceeds of £60 million pursuant to the Placing and the PrimaryBid Offer (the "Issue"). Accordingly, under the Issue an aggregate of 25,210,084 new Ordinary Shares have been issued and allotted conditionally upon admission at a price of 238 pence per Ordinary Share.

The Company is pleased to have had positive engagement with a range of investors throughout the placing and is grateful for the continued support of its shareholders, particularly in what has become a more challenging market environment, in light of recent developments regarding the Omicron variant of Covid-19.

The Investment Adviser expects to deploy the proceeds of the Issue primarily to drive the performance of existing portfolio companies via certain follow-on investments.

Application for Admission

Application has been made for 25,210,084 million New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to the premium segment of the Official List of the FCA and to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange.  It is expected that admission in respect of the New Ordinary Shares will become effective, and that dealings in the New Ordinary Shares will commence, at 8.00 a.m. on 15 December 2021.

Total Voting Rights

Following the Placing and PrimaryBid Offer, Chrysalis' issued share capital will consist of 572,483,160 Ordinary Shares with voting rights in the Company. This figure may be used by Shareholders in determining the denominator for the calculation by which they will establish 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.

Liberum Capital Limited and Numis Securities Limited acted as Joint Bookrunners in respect of the Placing.

Capitalised terms shall have the meanings attributed to them in the Prospectus unless otherwise defined in this announcement.
