Praetura Growth VCT plc

Issue of Ordinary Shares

LEI: 9845004ZDC57AB064B97

On 14 June 2023, Praetura Growth VCT plc (the "Company") issued a prospectus (the "Prospectus") relating to an offer for subscription of up to £10 million of ordinary shares of £0.01 each ("Ordinary Shares"), together with an over-allotment facility of up to a further £10 million of Ordinary Shares (the "Offer").

The Board of the Company are pleased to announce that, pursuant to the Offer:

·      on 5 June 2024, 409,737 Ordinary Shares were allotted in relation to the 2024/25 tax year (the "Allotment").

In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Offer, the offer prices at which the Ordinary Shares were allotted were calculated by reference to the latest published NAV per Share (assumed to be 100p per Share or last published NAV per Share, if any such revised NAV is announced during the Offer). The offer price at which the Ordinary Shares were issued and allotted under the Allotment was 100p per Ordinary Share.

Following the Allotment, the total number of Ordinary Shares in issue is 3,427,655 (including one original subscriber Ordinary Share). Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 3,427,655. This 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 of interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Application for the 409,737 Ordinary Shares to be admitted to the premium segment of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities will be made shortly and dealings are expected to commence on or around 6 June 2024. CREST accounts are expected to be credited as soon as practicable following the allotment and definitive documents of title are expected to be dispatched within ten business days of allotment.

The Offer closed for further applications on 31 May 2024, as set out in the Prospectus, and this is the final allotment under the Offer.
