Merger Results

3 April 2013

This announcement is made by Maven Income & Growth VCT 4 plc ("the Company") in connection with the merger of the Company with Ortus VCT PLC ("Ortus") to be completed by way of a scheme of reconstruction of Ortus pursuant to Section 110 of the Insolvency Act 1986 and the transfer by Ortus of all of its assets and liabilities to the Company ("Scheme"), details of which were contained in the Company's circular to shareholders ("the Circular") and the Company's prospectus ("the Prospectus"), both dated 1 March 2013.

The board is pleased to advise that the resolution proposed at the general meeting of Ortus held today was duly passed to be able to implement and effect the Scheme. 

By way of implementation of the Scheme, the assets and liabilities of Ortus have been transferred to the Company in consideration for the issue of new ordinary shares of 10p each ("Ordinary Shares") and new C ordinary shares of 10p each ("C Shares"), in each case in the capital of the Company as set out below.

The total number of new Ordinary Shares issued to Ortus shareholders in connection with the Scheme was 6,853,086 at a deemed issue price of 94.24p per share and the total number of new C Shares issued to Ortus shareholders in connection with the Scheme was 3,968,876 at a deemed issue price of £1.00 per share.

Following implementation of the Scheme, there are now 22,078,966 Ordinary Shares and 3,968,876 C Shares in issue in the Company. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 26,047,842, which 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 change to their interest in, the Company under the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

Application has been made for all of the new shares issued pursuant to the Scheme to be admitted to the Official List and to trading on the main market of the London Stock Exchange. It is expected that admission will become effective and that trading will commence on 4 April 2013. CREST accounts are also expected to be credited on 4 April 2013.

An allotment in respect of applications received pursuant to the Company's offer for subscription is expected to take place on 5 April 2013 for the 2012/2013 tax year.
