Keydata Income VCT 1 plc and Keydata Income VCT 2 plc
Merger Update
The Boards of Keydata Income VCT 1 plc ("Keydata 1") and Keydata Income VCT 2
plc ("Keydata 2") today announce that, after many months finalising the proposed
merger between the boards of Keydata 1, Keydata 2 and Foresight VCT plc
("Foresight") and the regulatory matters required to implement the transaction,
we are able to announce that we expect the merger documentation to be ready to
be dispatched to all Keydata 1 and Keydata 2 shareholders shortly.
These documents will set out to all Shareholders all relevant information and
provide an opportunity and sufficient notice to attend the EGM expected to be
held in February 2011.
If the vote for merger is approved, the timetable for implementing the merger is
expected to be February 2011, with Shareholders receiving their Foresight shares
during March 2011 at the latest.
This will be followed by an offer to all Foresight shareholders, including the
"ex" Keydata 1 and Keydata 2 Shareholders to participate in an enhanced buyback
scheme. Full details are expected to be supplied in the documentation which
will be sent out shortly.
It is important to stress that in spite of the delays caused by the complexity
of the merger, the development of the waste wood to energy plant in Derby
continues to schedule. Several of the other VCTs managed by Foresight Group
(''the Investing VCTs'') have committed to invest £3 million, in aggregate,
towards the completion of the Derby Project. Of this commitment, £1.5 million
was invested by way of loans and equity securities by the Investing VCTs on 23
December 2010 and the balance of the commitment is contingent on the merger
taking place. Further details will be included with the merger documentation.
