2.2.3 Qualifications to audit reports

There were no qualifications in the audit report for the Company in respect of the financial year ended 31 December 2024.

2.3 What are the key risks that are specific to the issuer?

• ș There is no guarantee that the Company will meet its objectives or that suitable investment opportunities will be identified to enable the Company to meet its objectives. The ability to achieve returns for the Company's shareholders (Shareholders) will be dependent on the investment opportunities sourced by the Manager and the performance of such investments. The past performance of the Company and/or other funds managed or advised by the Manager should not be regarded as an indication of the future performance of the Company.
• ș Geopolitical risks have increased significantly over the last few years. Economic and global political uncertainty stemming from conflict in Ukraine and the Middle East, ongoing tensions between global powers such as the US and China, potential tariffs or governmental policies that hinder international trade, volatile commodity prices and disruption to supply chains, continue to present significant challenges. In particular, the imposition of trade tariffs by the United States may negatively affect international trade flows, manufacturing costs and shipping availability. This is adversely affecting economic growth, particularly in the UK, and may continue to adversely affect the performance of companies in which the Company has invested or may invest, which in turn may adversely affect the valuation of the investments, the performance of the Company and/or the value of, and returns from, the Shares. This may also negatively impact the number or quality of investment opportunities available to the Company.
• ș The Company and its portfolio companies may be impacted by rising geopolitical tensions and ongoing armed conflict in the Middle East, particularly in the aftermath of the recent situation involving Israel and neighbouring countries, as well as resultant increased friction between Israel and Iran. Any resurgence, escalation or broadening of these hostilities, whether direct or through proxy actors, could disrupt global energy markets, international trade routes, and regional stability. Given the unpredictable nature of geopolitical developments and their potential to intensify with little notice, there is no guarantee that the Company or its portfolio companies will remain unaffected or will not experience material adverse consequences.

2. Key information on the issuer

2.3 What are the key risks that are specific to the issuer?

• ș Investment in unquoted companies by its nature involves a higher degree of risk than investment in companies listed on the Official List. In particular, small companies often have limited product lines, markets or financial resources and may be dependent for their management on a small number of key individuals and they may be more susceptible to political, exchange rate, taxation, economic and other regulatory changes and conditions.
• ș Changes to the VCT legislation since 2015 introduced a number of restrictions and conditions designed to ensure that funds are invested in smaller, younger businesses targeting growth and development and where capital is at risk. These may limit the number of investment opportunities available in the future compared to previously and such companies are likely to have a higher risk profile than (and increased volatility of future returns from) investee companies previously within the portfolio of the Company.
• ș Whilst it is the intention of the Board that the Company will continue to be managed so as to qualify as a VCT, there can be no guarantee that such status will be maintained. Failure to continue to meet the qualifying requirements could have adverse tax consequences for investors and the Company.
• ș Notwithstanding the passing of a Treasury order on 3 September 2024 which formally extended the retirement date of the VCT and EIS schemes from midnight on 5 April 2025 to midnight on 5 April 2035, the Government, or any successor Government, may still make significant changes to the VCT rules (or their interpretation) or VCT tax reliefs available, or may repeal the VCT scheme entirely.

In particular, in the budget announced by the Government on 26 November 2025 (2025 Autumn Budget), the Government announced certain changes to the VCT rules, including, with effect on and from 6 April 2026, the reduction in the level of upfront income tax relief for subscriptions in VCT shares from 30% to 20%. It is possible that the legislation, when enacted, will differ from the 2025 Autumn Budget announcement or even that some or all of the measures announced may not be implemented at all, however, any such developments may adversely affect the future viability of the Company.

• ș Any change of governmental, economic, fiscal, monetary or political policy, including Government spending reviews, levels of unemployment, stock market volatility, consumer confidence, inflation and changes to the current level of interest rates could materially affect the operation and performance of the Company and/or investee companies and/or the value of, and returns from, the Shares and/or the Company's ability to achieve or maintain VCT status.
• ș It is also possible that currently unknown and unanticipated events, either domestic or international, may occur and have a negative effect on economic activity and adversely affect the future viability of the Company and/or the performance of companies in which the Company has invested or may invest, which in turn may adversely affect the performance of the Company.
• ș The Company invests in illiquid assets. It may not be possible to dispose of investments to generate funds to cover the Company's expenses (which may have an adverse impact on the solvency of the Company) and/or to pay dividends and/or buy back Shares (which may have an adverse impact on Shareholder returns).

3. Key information on the securities

3.1 What are the main features of the securities?

3.1.1 Description and class of securities

The Offer Shares are ordinary shares of 1p each (ISIN: GB00B07YBS95).

The Company's share capital comprises ordinary shares of 1p (GBP) each.

As at the date of this document there are 312,434,761 Shares in issue (all fully paid up). The maximum number of Offer Shares to be issued pursuant to the Offer is 100 million.

3.1.2 Rights attaching to the securities

The Offer Shares will rank equally in all respects with each other and the existing Share capital of the Company from the date of issue.

There are no restrictions on the transferability of the Shares.

3.1.3 Dividend policy

The Board will endeavour to pay annual dividends of at least 5% of the NAV per Share based on the opening NAV per Share of that financial year. The aim of the Board and the Manager is for future investment performance to support this level of distribution, whilst also enhancing the NAV per Share. This level of dividend may be exceeded by the payment of additional 'special' dividends as and when particularly successful portfolio disposals are made.

Summary

3. Key information on the securities

3.2 Where will the securities be traded?

Application has been made to the FCA for the Offer Shares to be admitted to the closed-ended investment fund category of the Official List and will be made to the London Stock Exchange for such shares to be admitted to trading on its main market for listed securities. It is anticipated that dealings in the Offer Shares will commence within three business days following allotment.

3.3 What are the key risks that are specific to the securities?

• ș The value of Shares, and the income from them, can fluctuate and Shareholders may not get back the amount they invested. The NAV of the Shares and the return received by Shareholders will be dependent on the performance of the underlying investments. The value of such investments, and interest income and dividends therefrom, may rise or fall.
• ș Shareholders will have no right to have their Shares redeemed or repurchased by the Company at any time. Shareholders wishing to realise their investment will be required to dispose of their Shares on the stock market and the ability to sell Shares at or close to net asset value will depend on the existence of buyers for the Shares and the market price of the Shares.

• ș Although the existing Shares have been (and it is anticipated that the Offer Shares will be) admitted to the closed-ended investment fund category of the Official List and are (or will be) traded on the London Stock Exchange's market for listed securities, the secondary market for VCT shares is generally illiquid. Shareholders may, therefore, find it difficult to realise their investment. An investment in the Company should, therefore, be considered as long‑term.

• ș The Shares are likely to trade at a discount to their net asset value, which could widen for a variety of reasons, and the price for a Share which a Shareholder could achieve on the stock market may be significantly less than the net asset value of the Share or the price paid by the Shareholder to acquire the Share.

• ș A Shareholder who disposes of Shares within five years of issue will be subject to clawback by HMRC of any income tax reliefs originally claimed on subscription. An investment in the Company should, therefore, be considered as long-term. Any realised losses on a disposal of Shares cannot be used to create an allowable loss for capital gains tax purposes.
• 1. Key information on the offer of securities to the public and/or the admission to trading on a regulated market
• 4.1 Under which conditions and timetable can I invest in the securities?

4.1.1 Terms and Conditions

The Company is seeking to raise up to £40 million through the issue of up to 100 million Offer Shares pursuant to the Offer.

Investors are invited to subscribe for an amount in pounds sterling rather than apply for a particular number of Offer Shares. Applicants must subscribe a minimum of £5,000.

The number of Offer Shares to be allotted to a successful applicant is determined by dividing the investment amount by the Offer price derived from the Pricing Formula below:

Offer Price = NAV ÷ X

where:

NAV = the most recently published NAV per Share on the day of the allotment, adjusted for dividends declared and for which the record date for payment has passed at the time of allotment; and

X = 1 – Total Net Fees

Total Net Fees means, as applicable, the Direct Offer Costs (as defined and explained below) and any initial commission to financial intermediaries (3% of the investment amount, less any amount waived) or up-front adviser charge (up to 4.5% of the investment amount) for the relevant investor, expressed as a percentage of the amount subscribed.

The Pricing Formula for all investors is based on the latest announced NAV per Share to which are added applicable up-front costs to generate a bespoke Offer price for each individual investor, which is then applied to the net investment. As a result, the Offer is not expected to have any material dilutive effect on an existing Shareholder's net asset value per share.

4.1.2 Expected Timetable

The Offer will open for applications at 9.00 a.m. on 14 January 2026 and will close for applications at 12.00 noon on 30 March 2026 (or, if earlier, as soon as the Offer is fully subscribed or otherwise at the discretion of the Board). The Board reserves the right to extend the Offer but not longer than 12 months following publication of the Prospectus. If the Board decides (in consultation with the Manager) to extend the Offer this will be advised through a regulatory information service announcement.

Summary

1. Key information on the offer of securities to the public and/or the admission to trading on a regulated market

4.1 Under which conditions and timetable can I invest in the securities?

4.1.3 Details of Admission

Application has been made to the FCA for the Offer Shares to be admitted to the closed-ended investment fund category of the Official List and will be made to the London Stock Exchange for such shares to be admitted to trading on its main market for listed securities. It is anticipated that dealings in the Offer Shares will commence within three business days following allotment.

4.1.4 Distribution

The Offer Shares will be available to be issued in either registered form (i.e. certificated) or uncertificated form (i.e. via CREST). Where applicable, share certificates are expected to be dispatched by post within ten business days of allotment.

4.1.5 Dilution

If the full 100 million Offer Shares available are allotted pursuant to the Offer, the existing 312,434,761 Shares would represent 75.8% of the enlarged issued share capital, assuming no participation in the Offer by existing Shareholders of the Company.

4.1.6 Expenses of the Offer

4.1.6.1 Offer expenses

The Company will pay the Manager, in its capacity as promoter of the Offer, a promoter fee (Direct Offer Costs) equal to (i) 2.5% of the amount subscribed by retail client investors, professional client investors and execution-only investors (these being investors who apply using a financial intermediary) and (ii) 4.5% of the amount subscribed by direct investors (these being investors who apply without using a financial intermediary). The relevant amount of Direct Offer Costs will be borne by the investor through the Pricing Formula. Additional costs which may apply to non-direct investors are set out further below.

In respect of each investor the Manager's promoter fees will, where relevant, be reduced by any discounts the Manager may agree to offer any particular investor or group of investors (i.e. the Direct Offer Costs applicable to the investor will be reduced which will increase the number of Offer Shares to be issued to that investor).

In consideration of such fee, the Manager, in its capacity as promoter of the Offer, will meet all of the costs of the Offer other than financial intermediary commissions, adviser charges and any payment to an investor in connection with adviser charges (as referred to below).

Initial commission to financial intermediaries (normally 3% on the amount payable in respect of the Offer Shares allotted to an execution-only investor) will be paid by the Company but borne by the investor through the Pricing Formula. This is in addition to the Direct Offer Costs referred to above. No trail commission will be paid in respect of this Offer.

The Company can facilitate up-front adviser charges (up to 4.5% of the investor's subscription amount), to the extent an investor requests this, from a payment to the investor which is taken into account in the Pricing Formula. This is in addition to the Direct Offer Costs referred to above. Ongoing adviser charges must be settled by an investor direct.

The Direct Offer Costs (together with financial intermediary initial commissions and payments to investors from which up‑front adviser charges will be facilitated) will, therefore, be the maximum costs incurred by the Company in relation to the Offer, but borne by investors through the Pricing Formula.

4.1.6.2 Expenses charged to the investor

The Direct Offer Costs and, as applicable, any initial commission to financial intermediaries or up-front adviser charge are expected to be the only up-front costs and charges an investor will (directly and indirectly) bear.

4.2 Why is this Prospectus being produced?

4.2.1 Reasons for the Offer

The Company is raising further funds through the Offer in order to maintain and expand the Company's portfolio of investments in UK small and medium-sized enterprises. The Manager continues to see a significant number of new and follow-on qualifying investment opportunities.

The additional funds raised will allow the Company to take advantage of these investment opportunities, maintain its dividend policy, make market purchases of its own shares and support its running costs.

1. Key information on the offer of securities to the public and/or the admission to trading on a regulated market

4.2 Why is this Prospectus being produced?

4.2.2 The use and estimated net amount of proceeds

The net proceeds of the Offer will be pooled with the existing cash resources of the Company and used to make new and follow-on investments in accordance with its investment policy, as well as being used to fund dividends, make market purchases of Shares and meet annual running costs.

Assuming full subscription under the Offer and assuming that all successful applicants are Direct Investors (who are not entitled to any discounts), the Direct Offer Costs (there being no other applicable costs in these circumstances) would be £1.8 million and the net proceeds would be £38.2 million.

There is no minimum aggregate subscription level on which the Offer is conditional and the Offer is not underwritten.

4.2.3 Conflicts of interest

The Manager's fees are based on a percentage of net assets and, therefore, there is a conflict in the valuations it proposes in relation to the Company's investments. This conflict is managed by the valuation of investments being reviewed each quarter and approved by the Board, and reviewed annually by external auditors.

The Manager and companies and undertakings within the same group as the Manager (The Foresight Group) may also receive arrangement, transaction, exit and directors' fees in connection with investments made by the Company subject to certain limits or otherwise as approved by the Board.

Where the Company invests in companies in which other funds managed or advised by The Foresight Group have invested or are investing, conflicts of interest may arise and the Board will exercise its judgement in managing such conflicts. In such circumstances, the Manager will apply The Foresight Group's conflicts policy by reference to its written allocation policy in order to reconcile the conflict in the first instance and thereafter, if required, the Board will exercise its independent judgement, so far as it is able, to protect the interests of the Company. It may not, in such circumstances, be possible to fully protect the interests of the Company.

Save as set out above, there are no material potential conflicts of interest which the Manager, The Foresight Group or any other of the service providers to the Company may have as between their duty to the Company and the duties owed to third parties and/or their other interests.

Risk Factors

Investors should consider carefully the following risk factors in addition to the other information presented in the Prospectus as a whole.

If any of the risks described below were to occur, it could have a material effect on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operation. Additional factors which are not presently known to the Directors, or that the Directors currently deem immaterial, may also have an effect on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations.

The value of the Shares could decline due to any of the risk factors described below and investors could lose part or all of their investment. Investors should consider consulting a financial intermediary authorised under FSMA.

Risks Relating to the Offer Shares

The value of Shares, and the income from them, can fluctuate and Shareholders may not get back the amount they invested. The past performance of the Company and/or other funds managed or advised by the Manager should not be regarded as an indication of the future performance of the Company. The NAV of the Shares and the return received by Shareholders will be dependent on the performance of the underlying investments. The value of such investments, and interest income and dividends therefrom, may rise or fall. The level and timing of distributions to Shareholders is not guaranteed.

Although the Company operates a share buyback policy (through its broker, Panmure Liberum Limited) with the objective of maintaining the discount to NAV at which its Shares trade at 5%, subject to market conditions, Shareholders will have no right to have their Shares redeemed or repurchased by the Company at any time and may be required to dispose of their Shares on the stock market.

Accordingly, the ability of Shareholders to sell their Shares at or close to net asset value will depend on the Company's ability to operate its buyback policy or the existence of buyers for the Shares and the market price of the Shares (which in each case will likely be at a discount to NAV per Share). Where Shares are repurchased by the Company, Shareholders may incur third party costs, including brokerage fees and charges, the nature and level of which are neither the responsibility, nor within the control, of the Company or the Manager.

Although the existing Shares have been (and it is anticipated that the Offer Shares will be) admitted to the closed-ended investment fund category of the Official List and are (or will be) traded on the London Stock Exchange's market for listed securities, the secondary market for VCT shares is generally illiquid. Shareholders may, therefore, find it difficult to realise their investment. An investment in the Company should, therefore, be considered as long-term.

The Shares are likely to trade at a discount to their net asset value, which could widen, for a variety of reasons, and the price for a Share which a Shareholder could achieve on the stock market may be significantly less than the net asset value of the Share or the price paid by the Shareholder to acquire the Share. Some of the reasons that may lead to the Shares trading at a discount include the fact that initial subscription tax reliefs are not available for VCT shares bought in the secondary market or, as a consequence of general market conditions, concerns regarding the general liquidity or marketability of the Shares or the actual or expected performance of the Company. Prospective investors should note that, historically, the Shares have traded at a discount.

Risk Factors

Investment Strategy Risks

There is no guarantee that the Company will meet its objectives or that suitable investment opportunities will be identified to enable the Company to meet its objectives. The ability to achieve returns for Shareholders will be dependent on the investment opportunities sourced by the Manager and the performance of such investments.

Investment in unquoted companies (including AIM and Aquis traded companies) by its nature involves a higher degree of risk than investment in companies listed on the Official List. In particular, small companies often have limited product lines, markets or financial resources and may be dependent for their management on a small number of key individuals. They may be more susceptible to political, exchange rate, taxation, economic and other regulatory changes and conditions. In addition, the market for securities in smaller companies may be less regulated and is usually less liquid than that for securities in larger companies, bringing with it potential difficulties in acquiring, valuing and disposing of such securities. Proper information for determining their value or the risks to which they are exposed may also not be available. Investment returns will, therefore, be uncertain and involve a higher degree of risk than investments in companies listed on the Official List.

The Company invests in illiquid assets. It may not be possible to dispose of investments to generate funds to cover the Company's expenses (which may have an adverse impact on the solvency of the Company) and/or pay dividends and/ or buy back Shares (which may have an adverse impact on Shareholder returns).

Changes to the VCT legislation since 2015 introduced a number of restrictions and conditions designed to ensure that funds are invested in smaller, younger businesses targeting growth and development and where capital is at risk.

A summary of the key investment conditions and restrictions are set out in Part VI of this document. These may limit the number of investment opportunities available in the future compared to previously and such companies are likely to have a higher risk profile than (and increased volatility of future returns from) investee companies previously within the portfolio of the Company which were invested in before the major rule changes in 2015. Further changes to VCT legislation, in particular investment restrictions and conditions, may restrict or adversely affect the Company's ability to meet its objectives and/or reduce the level of returns which might otherwise be achievable.

There may be constraints imposed on the realisation of investments in order to maintain the VCT tax status of the Company, which may restrict the Company's ability to obtain maximum value from its investments and in turn adversely affect the value and/or returns from Shares.

Sustainability risk may have a negative impact on the value of the Company's investments. Sustainability risk is the risk that an environmental, social or governance event or condition could cause a material negative impact on the value of an investee company. Sustainability risk is considered as part of the pre-investment due diligence by the Manager and is monitored on an ongoing basis during the holding period.

The Company's portfolio of investments includes some businesses that develop, deploy, or rely on artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, which are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. These include rapid technological change, evolving regulatory frameworks, ethical considerations, and potential misuse of AI systems. Adverse developments, such as algorithmic bias, data privacy breaches, intellectual property disputes, or restrictions on AI use, could impair the performance, valuation, or market acceptance of portfolio companies.

Furthermore, increased scrutiny from regulators and stakeholders may lead to compliance costs or operational limitations. In addition, competitors of businesses in which the Company is invested could use AI for their own competitive advantage to the detriment of those businesses and/or increase the cost to those businesses of keeping up with developments in AI to retain a competitive edge. The increasing prevalence of cyber security attacks also poses both an economic and reputational threat to portfolio companies as well as increasing costs of ensuring appropriate preventative measures are in place against such attacks. Any of these factors could materially and adversely affect the Company's investment returns and overall financial performance.

VCT and Tax Risks

A Shareholder who disposes of Shares within five years of issue will be subject to clawback by HMRC of any income tax reliefs originally claimed on subscription. An investment in the Company should, therefore, be considered as long-term. Any realised losses on a disposal of Shares cannot be used to create an allowable loss for capital gains tax purposes.

Whilst it is the intention of the Board that the Company will continue to be managed so as to qualify as a VCT, there can be no guarantee that such status will be maintained. Failure to continue to meet the qualifying requirements could result in Shareholders losing the tax reliefs available for VCT shares, resulting in adverse tax consequences including, if the holding has not been held for the relevant holding period, a requirement to repay the income tax relief obtained. Furthermore, should the Company lose its VCT status, dividends and gains arising on the disposal of Shares would become subject to tax and the Company would also lose its exemption from corporation tax on its capital gains.

Risk Factors

VCT and Tax Risks

Notwithstanding the passing of a Treasury order on 3 September 2024 which formally extended the retirement date of the VCT and EIS schemes from midnight on 5 April 2025 to midnight on 5 April 2035, the Government, or any successor Government, may still make significant changes to the VCT rules (or their interpretation) or VCT tax reliefs available, or may repeal the VCT scheme entirely. In particular, in the 2025 Autumn Budget, the Government announced certain changes to the VCT rules, including, with effect on and from 6 April 2026, the reduction in the level of upfront income tax relief for subscriptions in VCT shares from 30% to 20%. It is possible that the legislation, when enacted, will differ from the 2025 Autumn Budget announcement or even that some or all of the measures announced may not be implemented at all, however, any such developments may adversely affect the future viability of the Company.

The tax rules, or their interpretation, in relation to an investment in the Company and/or the rates of tax may change during the life of the Company and may apply retrospectively, which may affect tax reliefs obtained by Shareholders and the VCT status of the Company.

Other Risks

Geopolitical risks have increased significantly over the last few years. Economic and global political uncertainty, stemming from conflict in Ukraine and the Middle East, ongoing tensions between global powers such as the US and China, potential tariffs or governmental policies that hinder international trade, volatile commodity prices and disruption to supply chains, continue to present significant challenges. In particular, the imposition of trade tariffs by the United States may negatively affect international trade flows, manufacturing costs and shipping availability.

This is adversely affecting economic growth, particularly in the UK, and may continue to adversely affect the performance of companies in which the Company has invested or may invest, which in turn may adversely affect the valuation of the investments, the performance of the Company and/or the value of, and returns from, the Shares. This may also negatively impact the number or quality of investment opportunities available to the Company.

The Company and its portfolio companies may be impacted by rising geopolitical tensions and ongoing armed conflict in the Middle East, particularly in the aftermath of the recent situation involving Israel and neighbouring countries, as well as resultant increased friction between Israel and Iran. Any resurgence, escalation or broadening of these hostilities, whether direct or through proxy actors, could disrupt global energy markets, international trade routes, and regional stability. Given the unpredictable nature of geopolitical developments and their potential to intensify with little notice, there is no guarantee that the Company or its portfolio companies will remain unaffected or will not experience material adverse consequences.

Any change of governmental, economic, fiscal, monetary or political policy, including Government spending reviews, levels of unemployment, stock market volatility, consumer confidence, inflation and changes to the current level of interest rates could materially affect the operation and performance of the Company and/or investee companies and/or the value of, and returns from, the Shares and/or the Company's ability to achieve or maintain VCT status.

It is also possible that currently unknown and unanticipated events, either domestic or international, may occur and have a negative effect on economic activity and adversely affect the future viability of the Company and/or the performance of companies in which the Company has invested or may invest, which in turn may adversely affect the performance of the Company.

The Articles provide the opportunity for Shareholders to vote on the continuation of the Company at the annual general meeting falling after the fifth anniversary of the last allotment of Shares in the Company and thereafter at five yearly intervals. The allotment of Offer Shares will, therefore, defer (in accordance with the Articles) the opportunity for Shareholders to vote on the continuation of the Company for at least five years and, as a result, both new and existing Shareholders may have to wait longer, if there are no buyers in the market, to realise their holdings in the Company.

The Company has a board of non-executive directors and no employees and is, therefore, dependent on the provision of investment management and administration services by the Manager. If the Manager ceases to provide such services to the Company or if key personnel cease to be employed by the Manager, there is no assurance that suitable replacements will be found. Such circumstances may have an adverse effect on the performance of the Company and the value of its Shares.

The Company's assets and accounting records could be at risk in the absence of effective internal control regimes at its service providers insofar as the identification, evaluation and management of risks (including cyber security and data protection) are concerned, thereby putting the Company's assets and data at risk. Although these systems of internal controls are reviewed by the Company and reported on by its auditors, these review procedures can only manage, rather than eliminate, risk and by their nature can only provide reasonable, but not absolute assurance, against material misstatement or loss which may have an adverse effect on the performance of the Company and the value of its Shares.

Letter from

"Dear Investor

On behalf of the Board, I am delighted to introduce this new offer to invest in the Company."

Michael Gray Chair

We are seeking to raise an additional £40 million of capital through the issue of new Shares in order to maintain and expand the Company's portfolio of investments in UK small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Background

The Company continues to perform well in the context of mixed wider economic conditions. The UK economy grew by 1.0% in the first half of 2025, leaving the overall growth in the period precariously flat, with expected growth in 2025 forecasted to be 1.3%. Inflation accelerated above the Bank of England's target, rising from around 3.0% in January 2025 and unexpectedly topping 3.8% in September 2025, fuelled by higher airfare and petrol prices. While the Bank of England has continued to gradually reduce interest rates during 2025, this persistent inflation is likely to slow further cuts.

The combination of slow growth and increases on taxes, to the detriment of small businesses and the labour market, have created a challenging domestic economic landscape. Internationally, the ongoing uncertainty over US tariffs and conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine have also weighed on markets in 2025. Against that backdrop, the Board is delighted to say that the Company's portfolio of investments is performing well with some good exits and a positive pipeline of new investment opportunities being considered. The Board believes that the Manager's strong and growing team of investment professionals serves the Company well, and that the Manager's deep understanding of the individual investee companies in which the Company invests will protect the Company from the most extreme market conditions. The Manager's regional presence across core commercial centres in the UK further adds to the diversity of opportunities available to the Company.

The Board will continue to have great focus on ensuring that the sectors and investments selected by the Manager are considered, well researched and suggest good value prior to investment.

It is against the above backdrop that the Board has decided to raise further funds.

The Company

Recent performance

As at 31 December 2024 the audited net assets of the Company were £162.8 million (54.5p per Share). During the nine months to 30 September 2025, the unaudited net assets of the Company decreased to £157.0 million (a decrease of 3.6% during the period). The previously audited NAV per Share of 54.5p as at 31 December 2024 decreased to 49.6p as at 30 September 2025 (a decrease of 4.9p since 31 December 2024). This decrease was reflective, in particular, of the payment during the period of both a special dividend of 3.1p per Share (returning £9.8 million to Shareholders) and an interim dividend of 2.8p per Share (returning £8.8 million to Shareholders), both tax free. The Total Return performance during this nine month period (NAV movement plus the aforementioned special dividend and interim dividend) was 55.5p or 1.8%, representing a positive Total Return performance for the period.

In the nine months ended 30 September 2025, the value of the investment portfolio decreased by £5.2 million largely as a result of a successful realisation and a loan repayment, generating £8.9 million, exclusive of £0.5 million accrued interest paid on the realisation. This was partially offset by an increase of £4.1 million in the valuation of the remaining investments, plus £10.0 million of new and follow‑on investments.

Letter from the Chair

The Company

Recent performance

The Total Return performance per Share over the one, three and five years to 30 September 2025 (this being the date to which the Company's most recent unaudited NAV per Share has been published) is 2.0%, 15.6% and 48.8% respectively. Further information on the performance over the last five years is detailed on page 28 of this document. As at 30 September 2025, the date to which the most recent unaudited NAV per Share has been published, the NAV per Share was 49.6p.

In terms of investment activity, during the period from 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025, the Manager completed six new investments and follow-on investments in eleven companies totalling £7.9 million and £6.0 million respectively, whilst during the period from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024, the Manager completed four new investments totalling £8.4 million and follow-on investments into six companies totalling £6.0 million. These investments were made in companies operating across a broad range of sectors including Consumer & Leisure, Technology, Media & Telecommunications, Industrials & Manufacturing and Healthcare.

The Manager also successfully disposed of Hospital Services Group Limited during the period from 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025, generating proceeds of £8.8 million (excluding dividends and interest received), with potential for a further £0.4 million of deferred consideration over the coming years. Adding in the £0.9 million of cash returned in the investment period, this represents an exceptional return of 8.2 times the original investment. The Manager also exited two challenged businesses, Biotherapy Services Limited and Vio Healthtech Limited, for nominal value during the period.

This follows the successful exits of Callen‑Lenz Associates Limited and Specac International Limited during the period from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024, which generated aggregate proceeds of £34.3 million at completion. This, together with cash returns received during that period and deferred consideration totalling £5.3 million in aggregate, is an exceptional achievement from a combined initial investment of £6.2 million and collectively represents a cash‑on-cash multiple of 6.4 times.

As a result, the Company has a strong balance sheet with a diversified portfolio that the Board believes will provide sustainable long-term value for investors.

Investment objective

The Company seeks to provide investors with regular dividends and capital growth from a portfolio of investments in fast-growing unquoted companies in the UK.

Strategy

The Board believes that it is in the best interests of Shareholders to continue to pursue a strategy of:

• ș growth in net asset value total return above a 5% annual target while continuing to grow the Company's assets;
• ș payment of annual dividends of at least 5% of the NAV per Share based on the opening NAV per Share of that financial year;
• ș implementation of a significant number of new and follow on investments every year, exceeding deployment requirements to maintain VCT status; and
• ș maintaining a programme of regular share buybacks at a discount of 5%, subject to market conditions.

Central to the Company being able to achieve these objectives is the ability of the Manager to source and complete attractive new qualifying investment opportunities and deliver strong exits.

The Manager

With £13.7 billion of assets under management, the Manager has been a growth capital investor for over 40 years, and has a wide, varied investor base of private and institutional investors. Led by its 60 strong private equity team, the Manager is one of the largest managers in the VCT sector, making it ideally placed to source attractive investment opportunities for the Company. The Manager has a specialist focus on investment opportunities with enterprise values typically between £5 million and £25 million. Since 2010, excluding environmental projects, the Manager has made over 200 growth capital investments across its private equity funds. Key requirements for investment include strong management teams, attractive market characteristics and a defensible competitive position, with investments made in the most attractive opportunities without sector bias.

Established VCT recognition

In recent years, the Manager has been recognised with awards such as 'Best VCT Investment Manager' at the Growth Investor Awards 2022, 'UK Small-Cap House of the Year' at the Real Deals Private Equity Awards 2023 and 'Best EIS Investment Manager' at the Enterprise Investment Scheme Association (EISA) Awards 2023, winning the 'EISA Impact' award in 2024.

Last year, the Manager was awarded the 'PE Deal of the Year' at the Insider Northern Ireland Dealmakers Awards and 'Team of the Year' at the East Midlands Rainmaker Awards, and was also shortlisted for 'Best VCT Investment Manager' at the 2025 Growth Investor Awards and 'Private Equity/ Venture Capital Firm of the Year' at the Insider East Midlands Dealmakers Awards. The Company was also awarded the 'Best Report and Accounts – VCT' award at the AIC Shareholder Communication Awards.

Letter from the Chair

The Manager

Established VCT recognition

These awards and nominations reflect the investments made and the achievements of the Manager's private equity team members, and the Manager and the Company as a whole.

In addition to the strength of the investment team, there are three further key reasons why you might consider an investment in the Company to be an attractive opportunity.

Regional Presence

Unlike a number of VCT managers which are exclusively London-based, The Foresight Group has 13 regional offices across the UK and the Republic of Ireland. This extensive reach creates a large deal origination network which allows investment opportunities across the whole geography to be identified.

It is the Manager's experience that companies of comparable quality to those in London and the South East, but which are found outside these regions, may often attract less investor attention, leading to lower entry valuations due to reduced competition. The Manager believes that its regional presence can benefit investors because entering investments at a lower price can result in better returns.

Institutional Capital

Over the last eight years, the Manager's private equity investment team has won several institutional mandates from local authority pension funds, the British Business Bank and the Scottish Government, totalling over £500 million. These institutional investors carry out extensive due diligence before making investments, so the Manager's success in winning these mandates evidences its investment credentials and track record.

These funds can co-invest alongside the Company, providing a flexible source of capital to attract a much broader range of investment opportunities, including buyouts, than may be possible with some competitor VCTs. This offers the Company a valuable additional source of deal flow in which to make development capital investments.

Portfolio Diversification

Despite VCT market inflows growing substantially, the number of VCT investment management teams has nearly halved since 2006 from 44 to 24. This is driven by recent market consolidation coupled with very few new market entrants. As such, while the choice of VCTs available to investors is relatively sizeable, a number of these focus on investing in limited sectors, technologies and/or geographies. In contrast, the Company invests across a broad range of sectors, geographies and company maturities, which the Board believes can provide real diversification for investors.

2025 Autumn Budget

In the 2025 Autumn Budget, the Government announced some helpful increases to investment limits for VCT qualifying companies, which the Board believes will aid deployment in new investments as well as provide follow-on support to its existing portfolio of investee companies, some of which might otherwise have been precluded from raising further growth capital from the Company under the existing VCT rules.

It was also announced that upfront income tax relief for VCT investors will drop from 30% to 20% on and from 6 April 2026, a change that came as a surprise to the VCT industry after nearly two decades of consistency. Despite this intended reduction, the Board believes that VCTs will remain an attractive investment option for investors by giving them access to a diversified portfolio of SMEs with growth potential and the continuing package of tax reliefs associated with a VCT investment.

The Offer

This Offer provides Shareholders and new investors with the opportunity to invest in the Company, gaining immediate access to a diversified portfolio of investments in over 35 trading companies, many of which are making good progress and generating revenues.

The VCT Scheme was introduced in 1995 to incentivise UK tax payers to invest in early-stage UK companies. Since that time, VCTs have raised over £12 billion. VCTs offer Qualifying Investors (subject to annual investment limits) three attractive tax reliefs:

• ș up to 30%* up-front income tax relief (on the amount subscribed for new shares and subject to the shares being held for a minimum of five years);
• ș tax-free dividends; and
• ș tax-free capital gains.
• * This is expected to reduce to 20% for subscriptions in VCT shares on and from 6 April 2026, as announced in the 2025 Autumn Budget.

The Offer will open for Applications at 9.00 a.m. on 14 January 2026 and will close for Applications at 12.00 noon on 30 March 2026 (or, if earlier, as soon as the Offer is fully subscribed or otherwise at the Board's discretion). Unless the Offer timetable is extended at the discretion of the Board, the Offer will not be open in respect of the 2026/2027 tax year. Offer Shares will be issued using a Pricing Formula that takes into account the costs incurred by an investor to create a bespoke Offer price.

Offer for subscription 6 January 2026

Letter from the Chair

The Offer

Applications from any existing shareholders in any of the Foresight VCTs (subject to the discretion of the Manager) will receive a loyalty discount of 0.5% on the Direct Offer Costs. Further details of the Existing Foresight Shareholder Loyalty Discount are set out on page 53 of this document.

The additional funds raised will allow the Company to maintain liquidity levels to take advantage of investment opportunities, maintain its dividend policy, make market purchases of its own shares and support its running costs. The regular outgoings of the Company, made up chiefly of dividend payments (excluding special dividends), management fees and the cost of buying back shares, amount, on average, to approximately £16 million per annum, alongside the investment programme which the Manager and Board are seeking to grow steadily to between £20 million and £25 million per annum over the medium term.

Investment activity during the last 24 months has seen over £28 million invested by the Company in new and follow-on investments. Whilst, as a result of difficult market conditions and increased competition for dealflow, this is below the medium-term investment deployment target, recent dealflow opportunities have increased and the Board and the Manager are confident about the future levels of deployment being closer to deployment aspirations. The Board, therefore, anticipates that the current cash resources of the Company, together with funds raised from this Offer, should be substantially utilised over the following 24 months based on the Manager's current pipeline of opportunities.

More details relating to the Company, The Foresight Group and the Offer are set out in the following pages.

We very much hope that existing Shareholders will add to their holdings and look forward to welcoming new investors.

In light of the forthcoming reduction to the rate of upfront income tax relief, as announced in the 2025 Autumn Budget, and based on fundraising levels in previous years, we do expect this fund raise to reach capacity quickly. Therefore, if you are interested in investing, please contact your financial intermediary promptly.

Yours faithfully

Michael Gray Chair

The opportunity

The Company aims to invest in businesses with realistic growth prospects that are either profitable or, if making manageable losses, with a medium-term ambition and path to reach profitability.

Following amendments to the VCT legislation in 2015, which focused VCT investment into earlier stage companies, the Company has, and remains, focused on growth capital investments. The Manager has been investing in regional SMEs for over 40 years. Since 2010, excluding environmental projects, the Manager has made over 200 growth capital investments across its private equity funds.

The Company, however, continues to have a significant portion of its portfolio represented by investments made prior to the VCT rule changes in 2015. Approximately 21% (by value as at 30 September 2025) of the portfolio is represented by investments made prior to these rule changes. These include investments in management buyouts and equity release deals, which tended to be in later stage, more mature companies than the current rules allow. The Manager believes the current portfolio is well diversified by sector and transaction type.

The Manager has an established and proven investment process developed over 40 years of activity and continues to experience strong deal flow.

Generalist but specific about the type of companies we decide to invest in, preferred characteristics include…

Growing, noncyclical markets

Technologyenabled and scalable

Strong management teams

Strong market positioning reflected in margins

Well formulated strategies

Attractive entry valuations and structures

Offer for subscription 6 January 2026

The opportunity

Investment in the UK

The UK remains an excellent place to start and sell a business, with broad pools of talent and an entrepreneurial culture.

The StartupBlink's Startup Ecosystem Rankings 2025 report continued to identify the UK as the second-best country globally to start up and scale a digital enterprise. This entrepreneurial ecosystem is not limited to London or the South East, with Manchester, Cambridge and Oxford featuring in the top 100 cities in the world and Bristol, Edinburgh, Birmingham, Leeds, Newcastle, Glasgow, Nottingham and Belfast featuring in the top 250.

This is in line with the Manager's experience of the wider UK SME market and is the reason the Manager's private equity team sources deal flow from across the UK and the Republic of Ireland through its 13 offices.

Over the last few years, economic uncertainty, inflation and higher interest rates have contributed to a challenging environment for many small companies and widened the existing investment funding gap leading to a reduction in bank appetite to lend to SMEs, increasing the attraction of VCT investment to entrepreneurs.

Whilst each opportunity is assessed in relation to its own individual circumstances, the following themes are collectively driving opportunities for equity investments in SMEs.

Timing within the economic cycle

Despite the UK coming out of recession during 2024, availability of finance to SMEs remains constrained. Availability of capital has been particularly impacted by the Basel III regulations, which were implemented at the beginning of 2023. These are designed to mitigate risk within the banking sector by requiring banks to increase their capital reserves. The Board and the Manager believe that this lack of available investment finance will further strengthen the VCT investment case as entrepreneurs will seek to fill the funding gap for working capital caused by economic uncertainty, and to repair and strengthen their companies' balance sheets to aid recovery.

It is imperative that SMEs across the UK have the required support, both financial and advisory, to adapt, recover, grow and find opportunities during this period of volatility.

To date, the Manager is continuing to see encouraging levels of activity from smaller UK companies seeking growth capital, as well as continued strong levels of interest from potential acquirers of portfolio companies.

Tax incentives to grow and sell small businesses

UK tax legislation includes favourable incentives for entrepreneurs to grow and develop businesses. Both Enterprise Management Incentive (EMI) share option schemes, which apply only to smaller businesses (which are often suitable for VCT investment), and Business Asset Disposal Relief (formerly Entrepreneurs' Relief) can reduce business owners' capital gains tax liability on a sale of the business and provide management teams with strong incentives to grow and realise value from their businesses.

For taxpayers qualifying for Business Asset Disposal Relief, the capital gains tax rate up to the lifetime £1 million threshold is only 14% (increasing to 18% for disposals taking place on or after 6 April 2026). This compares favourably with a capital gains tax rate for higher and additional tax rate payers of 24% or more on other gains and tax rates charged on dividends or income for high earners which could be as high as 45% (or even higher in Scotland).

The opportunity

Reduced interest from some private equity competitors for smaller companies

While many private equity firms continue to concentrate on mid-market and larger transactions, the Manager has remained focused on generating attractive returns for investors by applying its expertise in finding and supporting smaller growth companies.

According to the BVCA, 72% of all capital raised in 2024 in the UK was for buyout funds, with only 16% of all capital raised for growth capital investing. The Manager continues to see more investment firms focusing on larger transactions and investments, which results in relatively less competition for assets at the lower mid-market level where the Manager specialises.

Reduced competition may increase the chance of the Manager winning deals at attractive valuations, which may improve returns for investors.

Recent Investments

The Manager applies a very high degree of selectivity

Despite the challenging economic environment created by global political uncertainty and inflationary pressures, the Manager has continued to search for high quality businesses that have demonstrated resilience during these difficult times. It has made new investments on behalf of the Company into a number of growing businesses, alongside follow-on rounds into existing portfolio companies, throughout 2024 and 2025.

From 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2025, the Manager has concluded the following new investments on behalf of the Company:

Investee Company	Sector	Description	Investment by the Company	Aggregate investment across all Foresight Funds

Recent Investments

The Manager applies a very high degree of selectivity

Most of these businesses have good growth potential, have been relatively resilient during the recent economic and market turbulence, and demonstrate a strong competitive position in their markets.

However, it is likely that the next 12 months at least will continue to present ongoing challenges in light of potential low levels of economic growth, increased employment costs, volatility in commodity prices and currency, supply chain loss and disruption, and the effects of a comparatively higher interest rate environment.

From 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2025, the Company also made follow-on investments into 13 companies, totalling £12.1 million. Follow-on investments were made to support the growth of the relevant companies.

Realisations

The Manager has achieved a number of full and partial realisations on behalf of the Company. Investments have been sold to domestic and international trade buyers as well as to mid-market private equity firms or refinanced. Below are some examples since 2022.

Hospital Services Group Limited Callen-Lenz Associates Limited

In January 2025, the Company completed the sale of its investment in Hospital Services Group Limited (HSL), a provider of high-quality healthcare equipment and consumables. The transaction generated proceeds of £8.8 million at completion and £0.9 million in interest over the life of the investment, with a potential for a further £0.4 million of deferred consideration over the coming years. This implies a return of 8.2 times the original investment, equivalent to an IRR of 25.6%.

HSL provides equipment to a growing number of customers on both sides of the Irish Sea, with over 500 medical facilities supported in 2024. Since investment, HSL has seen strong organic growth and has made eight strategic bolt-on acquisitions, most notably in Ireland.

The exit is reflective of the Manager's commitment to supporting sustainable growth, as well as its continued success in the Healthcare sector.

In May 2024 the Company successfully realised its investment in Callen-Lenz, a designer and manufacturer of high performance unmanned aerial vehicles and associated software. The transaction returned £23.4 million to the Company which, including a further £2.9 million of earnout now received by the Company, implies a return of 5.4 times the total investment made of £4.9 million, equivalent to an IRR of 124%.

Since investment, the Manager worked with the board of Callen-Lenz to expand both non-executive and executive leadership, which led to successful product launches and a significant increase in headcount and revenue. With the business focus successfully transitioned from R&D to commercial sales, the exit will facilitate continued growth.

Since investment in 2015, as one of the last deals before changes in VCT legislation, the business has grown to sell globally through both original equipment manufacturers and distributors.

Over the holding period the Manager helped Protean transition its legacy product into a modern software product sold on a SaaS basis.

The transaction generated proceeds of £6.8 million. When added to £0.6 million of cash returned during the holding period, the total return was 4.5 times the capital of £1.65 million invested in October 2015, an IRR of 25%.

Since the original investment in 2015, the Manager helped GovGrant through a period of material growth during which GovGrant supported the R&D activities of a growing number of customers. GovGrant's high levels of service and innovative products, such as the patent box offering, have contributed to driving innovation in the UK economy. The Manager took a proactive approach to supporting the exceptional senior management team, all of whom were introduced to the business during the investment period. During the investment period the Manager also structured a debt-backed buyout of the former founders of the business, materially increasing the Company's equity stake and also returns to the management team.

When added to £10.8 million of cash returned during the holding period, this implies a total return of 11.6 times the original investment, equivalent to an IRR of 37% since the initial investment in 2007.

Since the original investment, the Manager had supported Datapath through a period of material growth with Datapath's revenues growing from approximately £7 million to £24 million. In this time, Datapath has developed a market leading hardware and software product suite for the delivery of multi-screen displays and video walls, which are sold globally to a diverse customer base across a range of sectors.

Since the original investment, the Company took a proactive approach to supporting TFC, helping to extend its network in the UK and Germany. TFC also rapidly expanded its vendor managed inventory service, growing the customer base, so it now provides a market-leading service to SMEs and international global brands operating across a range of industries.

In June 2022, the Company sold its investment in Codeplay Software Limited to a US corporate buyer. Codeplay is one of the UK's leading providers of solutions for the semiconductor industry, accelerating the performance of

computer chips that run artificial intelligence and other high-performance software.

Since the Company made its original investment in 2018, Codeplay continued to develop a suite of high-performance software and positioned itself at the centre of an increasingly important ecosystem that improves the performance of chips, used in both high performance and low-power environments; from supercomputers to self-driving cars.

Codeplay also developed its routes to market, selling its solutions not just to chip companies but also to downstream users, for example to manufacturers of diagnostic healthcare equipment. The Manager also introduced a new chair and through the Manager's joint venture with WAE Technologies Limited, the business was able to access the automotive market.

The business was sold to a leading computer chip developer in a transaction that generated proceeds of £4.3 million at completion with a further £0.5 million of escrow released in 2024 (there being no further amounts receivable held in escrow). Overall, the transaction represents a return of 16.0 times the initial investment of £0.3 million, equivalent to an IRR of 99%.

The above are examples only and, as with any diversified portfolio, returns on other investments have been less and there have also been realised losses and/or permanent impairments over the same period. It should also be noted that some of these examples relate to investments made to support management buy-outs prior to the change in the VCT rules. The return multiple shown includes exit proceeds and income earned during the holding period and is based on original cash investment, not accounting cost.

The Portfolio

The Company's current portfolio comprises investments in over 35 companies, diversified by sector and transaction type.

Investors will receive immediate exposure to the Company's existing portfolio, which currently comprises a diversified range of holdings in over 35 trading companies (ignoring those investments held at nil value and money market funds). None of the Company's investments comprise assets admitted to trading on a regulated market.

The Manager expects full and partial realisations from the portfolio to continue over the medium term. A new VCT fund, in contrast, could take some years to build up a diversified portfolio before there are any realisations.

Information on the Company's existing portfolio as at the date of this document is detailed below. Information on investments held, valuation and sector exposure has been extracted from the Company's accounting records and unaudited financial information as at 30 September 2025 (other than the movements which have occurred since that date as detailed on page 38).

The percentage of the Company's net assets which the investment holding represents is based on the unaudited net assets of the Company as at 30 September 2025. Accounting cost includes, where applicable, the value at which Foresight 3 VCT plc's holding was transferred to the Company pursuant to the merger of Foresight 3 VCT plc into the Company in June 2017, whereas the amount invested reflects Foresight 3 VCT plc's original investment cost. The accounting cost may be higher than the amount invested due to the value of the investment at the time of the merger with Foresight 3 VCT plc.

The information on investee companies' revenues and, as applicable, profit before tax, profit and loss account or retained earnings in relation to the Top Ten Investments below has been sourced from the relevant company's latest published financial year end (where such detail is disclosed as some companies only publish very limited financial information). All such third party information has been accurately reproduced and, so far as the Company is aware and is able to ascertain from information published by the relevant company, no facts have been omitted which would render such reproduced information inaccurate or misleading.

Top Ten Investments

The investments below represent the Company's largest ten investments (ignoring cash and money market investments), which, as at 30 September 2025, represent 33.1% of the Company's net assets.

Sector Exposure

The sector exposure across the Company's venture capital investments as at 30 September 2025 is set out below. Investors should note that the net proceeds of the Offer will be invested in accordance with the Company's investment policy and sector exposure will vary over time.

Investment Vintage

The portfolio continues to include a considerable portion (in particular by value as at 30 September 2025) of investments in companies where the initial investment was made prior to November 2015 and, therefore, under less restrictive rules (including supporting management buy-outs). This gives the portfolio a balance between investments in longer established companies and the more recent earlier stage development capital investments.

Case study: Hexarad Group Limited

Company Background

Hexarad is a teleradiology company, improving patient care by supplying NHS Trusts and private healthcare providers with access to specialist radiology resources.

The company was established in 2017 by a group of practising consultant radiologists who trained together at St George's Hospital in London. Having experienced firsthand the challenges of organising scarce radiology resource to diagnose critical medical images on time, they saw an opportunity for a new, technology-enabled and clinically‑led, teleradiology company focused heavily on quality and with a direct understanding of the challenges faced by clinicians and healthcare organisations.

Investment

Hexarad presented the opportunity to invest in an early stage healthcare technology company with a strong and ambitious management team operating in a fast-growing market, serving a genuine healthcare need driven by long term demographic and technology trends.

In June 2021, the Foresight VCTs invested £1.69 million of growth capital in Hexarad. The funding was provided to support the company's growth plan within the UK teleradiology market by winning NHS and private customers and continuing to increase the size of its clinician base.

Following the investment, Hexarad made considerable progress, including key management and technology hires, which supported a fast revenue growth trajectory.

To support the company's high growth prospects, a further funding round of £1.39 million was completed in August 2022. A Series-B fundraise of £10.3 million then took place in June 2024, with the Foresight VCTs investing £1.5 million alongside MTIP, a pan-European healthcare technology investor. The round provided the capital to enable Hexarad to continue to develop its market leading technology proposition, whilst continuing to scale commercially, as well as providing a partial equity release for the founder management team.

Trading and Strategy

Hexarad has performed well since investment and continues to execute its strategic and operational plans, with new contract wins and a growing pipeline reflecting the significant structural market demand for teleradiology services, as well as Hexarad's technology-led, differentiated commercial proposition. Radiologist recruitment and the launch of key strategic projects remain on track. Achieving a decrease in NHS waiting times is a national priority and the capacity provided by Hexarad's services supports healthcare providers in this aim.

Case study: Red Flag Alert Technology Group Limited

Company Background

Based in Manchester, Red Flag Alert has developed a business intelligence platform with modular capabilities spanning compliance, sales prospecting, risk management and financial health assessments which is sold into a growing corporate customer base. At its core, Red Flag Alert is a credit referencing agency (CRA) and is the most agile and up to date credit scoring tool in the market, predicting insolvencies in the next 12 months with 97% accuracy.

The concept behind Red Flag Alert began as a lead generation solution within Begbies Traynor, a listed insolvency practitioner, with the proprietary tool identifying companies at risk of insolvency before traditional CRAs. It was spun out of Begbies Traynor in 2012 and is now the only independently owned UK based CRA assessing company risk.

Investment

Red Flag Alert presented the opportunity to invest in a growing business with a well developed platform and product suite. Red Flag Alert had already moved from repurposing and presenting third party data to providing enriched data and value-add analytics, providing a compelling, premium enterprise solution. The Foresight VCTs initially invested £3.5 million of growth capital in March 2023 to invest in the sales, marketing and account management teams to drive growth.

In 2024, a £2.1 million follow-on investment was completed to support a data modernisation strategy to improve the way in which it ingests raw data, increasing the timeliness and accuracy of its insights, and to support development of additional products including international anti-money laundering and identity verification checks.

Since investment, the senior management team has been strengthened with the appointment of a new chief revenue officer, head of marketing and finance director.

Trading and Strategy

Red Flag Alert has performed well since investment. It continues to execute on its strategic plans to shift towards enterprise value customers with a growing pipeline reflecting the success of the change in go to market strategy. The business is focused on delivering the data modernisation strategy which will further enhance its product offering.

The Board believes that the performance of any VCT is dependent on the judgement, experience and skills of its manager.

The Manager

The Company has appointed Foresight Group LLP (Manager) to provide investment management and administration services.

The Manager is a leading private equity and infrastructure investment manager with its parent company, Foresight Group Holdings Limited, a member of the FTSE 250. The individual partners together have combined investment experience of over 200 years across a wide variety of sectors. The investment teams operate on a collaborative basis with a pro-active and pragmatic investment style.

Established in 1984, the Manager is proud of its track record of over 40 years of investing in and growing small companies. The Manager and companies and undertakings within the same group (together The Foresight Group) now have £13.7 billion of assets under management (as at 30 September 2025 (unaudited)) and a wide, varied investor base of private and institutional investors.

The Manager strives to generate healthy returns for its investors over the long term alongside the additional benefit to UK tax payers of tax reliefs available through Venture Capital Trusts, the Enterprise Investment Scheme and Business Relief. The Manager pursues an active investment strategy on behalf of the Company.

The Foresight Group's vision is to be a leader in investing in trends ahead of others through its dynamic and entrepreneurial values of flexibility, innovation, problem‑solving and a commitment to attracting and retaining high quality and experienced staff.

Strength of the Team

The Manager's private equity team comprises more than 60 investment professionals, including certain of the individual partners of the Manager, who together have a range of experience – from venture capital at Inflexion and Advent Venture Partners, to hands-on operational experience at Manchester Airports Group and Centrica, as well as corporate finance experience at Rothschild, RSM, Grant Thornton and EY together with strategic consulting experience at Accenture and Deloitte.

The Manager's private equity team and wider Members Board together have over 300 years of investment experience and combine investors' capital and their own hands-on expertise with the intention of creating long-term shareholder value and generating attractive returns for shareholders. Together they are responsible for the management of a wide and varied investor base of private and institutional investors.

Across the UK, the team generates in the region of 3,000 investment opportunities each year for its funds at various stages of the growth cycle, reflecting the benefits of a larger team with greater regional presence and a continued significant level of activity in the SME market.

Strength of the Team

With regards to portfolio management, the Manager takes an active, hands-on approach and typically seeks board representation and the ability to appoint a senior industry expert as chairperson. The Manager works particularly closely with the investee companies in the following areas:

• ș definition and review of strategy and its implementation;
• ș recruitment and incentivisation of key management and board members;
• ș planning for growth, international expansion and new product or service introduction;
• ș fundraising from banks and other external sources;
• ș mergers, acquisitions and exit planning; and
• ș sustainability, environmental, social and governance factors.

Venture Capital Trusts

The Foresight Group is one of the largest VCT management houses in the UK (by funds under management), with one of the largest VCT investment teams in the industry managing four VCTs. The Company, formerly named Foresight 4 VCT plc, was launched in 1998. The Foresight Group was appointed as manager in July 2004. The Foresight Group has also been the manager to Foresight VCT plc and Foresight Technology VCT plc (formerly Foresight Solar & Technology VCT plc) since their respective launches and, in 2023, was appointed as manager to Thames Ventures VCT 1 plc and Thames Ventures VCT 2 plc as part of Foresight's acquisition of the technology division of Downing Asset Management Limited. Thames Ventures VCT 2 plc was subsequently merged into Thames Ventures VCT 1 plc (which was renamed as Foresight Ventures VCT plc) on 15 November 2024.

Other funds

The same team within The Foresight Group that manages the VCTs referred to above also manages a number of regional institutional funds and has a management role in relation to two Enterprise Investment Scheme funds (Foresight Technology EIS and Thames Ventures EIS). The funds cover a range of transaction types, from venture to growth and buyouts, as well as different investment sizes.

These funds cover Scotland, Wales, the South West, North West, the Midlands, the East of England, the North East and the Republic of Ireland. Each fund not only seeks to help SMEs achieve their growth potential, but also to make a social impact providing local high-quality employment and support in transitioning to more ESG-focused business processes.

In the case of the AIB Foresight SME Impact Fund the mandate is specifically to support businesses helping to accelerate Ireland's transition to a low carbon economy.

All these funds can and do invest alongside the Foresight VCTs and help to unlock differentiated deal flow from their competitors.

The average return on exits of relevant investments made by the Manager's private equity team from 1 January 2010 (this being when the current senior leadership team within the Manager's private equity team came together) to 31 December 2024 is 3.4 times original cost. Relevant investments include all investments where there has been a full or partial exit (and, in the case of partial exits, taking into account the remaining investment at its carrying value as at 31 December 2024), but exclude environmental and debt investments from other funds for which the Manager's private equity team is responsible, as well as investments made by other fund managers before appointment of the Manager.

Network and deal origination

With offices across the UK and the Republic of Ireland, the Manager has a large origination network that covers the whole of those geographies, generating deal flow from a broad range of sources.

Regional presence and adviser network

Through its expanding regional presence, the Manager has built up an extensive network of active corporate finance advisers and other professional SME advisers through investment teams based in its regional offices in Nottingham, Manchester, Milton Keynes, Cambridge, Edinburgh and The Foresight Group's head office in London. With the recent new fund launches, this regional footprint has expanded to Belfast, Bristol, Cardiff, Dublin, Exeter, Leeds and Newcastle.

Between 1 January 2024 and 30 September 2025, around 72% of the meetings with advisers by the Manager's private equity team have been with those who are outside London, while over 50% of the new investments made have also been in businesses headquartered outside London.

Each of the Manager's private equity investment managers are tasked with building relationships in discrete regions of the country. This entails regular meetings with professional advisers to build a mutual rapport and understanding of the Manager's investment criteria and process.

When the adviser has a fundraising opportunity which fits the criteria, the Manager expects to be in the position of being one of the few potential funding institutions with the financial capacity and investment remit to provide the appropriate finance.

Direct origination

In addition, the Manager has developed a team dedicated to direct origination, contacting companies directly to build presence and relationships to position itself in the local business community. Over the past three years this has led to several successful investments for the funds it manages (example investments by the Company being Ad Signal Limited and Spektrix Limited).

Pipeline from other funds

The Midlands Engine Investment Fund, the Foresight Technology EIS and Foresight Technology VCT plc, which focus on seed and earlier stage investments, are also a potential source of deals for the Company as their portfolio companies begin to mature and require additional follow-on funding via growth capital investment.

About The Foresight Group

In order to deliver sustainable growth and long-term success, The Foresight Group believes it is critical to incorporate sustainability and environmental, social and governance factors (ESG) into its investment management processes.

Responsible investment

Often referred to as 'responsible investment', these principles provide not only a key basis for generating attractive returns for investors, but also to help build better quality businesses in the UK, creating jobs and making a positive contribution to society.

Although the Company has no specific objective to invest in companies which have an ESG focus (and as a 'Small Registered UK AIFM', it is not within the scope of the UK sustainability disclosure and labelling regime), ESG values nonetheless form an integral part of The Foresight Group's day-to-day decision making and investment management in light of the abovementioned benefits of 'responsible investment'. These are formalised through The Foresight's Group's ESG policy. Central to The Foresight Group's investment approach are five ESG principles which it uses to evaluate investee companies throughout the life cycle of an investment.

Over 100 individual key performance indicators are considered under the five 'Principles' and weighted against the Manager's view of a benchmark SME to show progress during the life of the investment. The evaluation is about both the company's existing position and its potential to improve and develop with support. The Foresight Group invests in a wide range of sectors and believes its approach covers the key tests that should be applied to assess an investee company's ESG performance throughout the life cycle of an investment from selection to exit.

Strategy and Awareness

Does the business demonstrate a good awareness of corporate social responsibility?

Is this reflected in its processes and management structure?

Environmental

Does the company follow good practice for limiting or mitigating its environmental impact, in the context of its industry?

How does it encourage the responsible use of the world's resources?

Social

What impact does the company have on its employees, customers and society as a whole?

Is it taking steps to improve the lives of others, either directly, such as through job creation, or indirectly?

Governance

Does the company and its leadership team demonstrate integrity?

Are the correct policies and structures in place to ensure it meets its legislative and regulatory requirements?

Third Party Interactions

Is the principle of corporate responsibility evidenced in the company's supply chain and customers?

How does it promote ESG values and share best practice?

Responsible investment

The evaluation of investee companies against each of the five Principles is supported by quantitative and qualitative data, starting at the initial review of an investment opportunity through to exit. This process helps identify both the risks and opportunities that exist within the portfolio and aims to ensure that investments support positive environmental and social outcomes. In conjunction with these are four outcome oriented themes, aligned with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which allow for the measure of specific ESG contributions over time: (i) health, (ii) quality employment at scale, (iii) research and innovation and (iv) local infrastructure and the environment.

The SDGs also represent a key driver and an important lens through which corporate and investment activities are reviewed.

Each portfolio company is subject to an annual assessment in which progress against each of the five Principles and SDGs is measured and an evaluation matrix updated to allow progress to be tracked and continuous improvement encouraged.

The Manager has been a member of the UK Sustainable Investment and Finance Association since 2009 and a signatory to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investing since 2013. In 2024, the Manager was recognised once again for its management of environment, social and governance considerations, earning the top classification of five stars from the UN Principles for Responsible Investment for all of its business divisions, including the Private Equity team, as well as for The Foresight Group as a whole.

The Manager is also an accredited Living Wage Employer and a signatory of the HM Treasury Women in Finance Charter, committing the group to implement recommendations to improve gender diversity in financial services. Portfolio companies are encouraged to pursue similar objectives.

The Company is seeking to raise up to £40 million.

The Company is seeking to raise up to £40 million through the issue of up to 100 million Offer Shares pursuant to the Offer.

The Offer will open for Applications at 9.00 a.m. on 14 January 2026 and will close for Applications at 12.00 noon on 30 March 2026 (or, if earlier, as soon as the Offer is fully subscribed or otherwise at the discretion of the Board). The Board reserves the right to extend the Offer but not longer than 12 months following publication of the Prospectus. If the Board decides (in consultation with the Manager) to extend the Offer this will be advised through a RIS Announcement. Unless the Offer timetable is extended at the discretion of the Board, the Offer will not be open in respect of the 2026/2027 tax year.

In the 2025 Autumn Budget, the Government announced that upfront income tax relief for VCT investors will drop from 30% to 20% on and from 6 April 2026. In light of these changes, the Board anticipates that investor demand for VCT shares will be higher than in previous years as investors seek to lock in the 30% relief before 6 April 2026.

Applicants must subscribe a minimum of £5,000. The Offer is not underwritten. The maximum investment on which income tax relief can currently be claimed by any individual is £200,000 in any one tax year.

Applications will normally be accepted on a first come, first served basis, subject always to the Board's discretion. For these purposes 'first come, first served' shall be assessed based on the date and time of receipt of a fully completed Application (i.e. all mandatory fields on the Application Form completed), subject to receipt of Application monies (in full, including those making multiple payments) in cleared funds within three Business Days thereafter (or, if earlier, before the Offer deadline or close of the Offer) to retain the Applicant's position of priority. If Application monies are not received within such time, the relevant date and time shall be when the Applicant's actual Application monies (in full) are received in cleared funds.

Post-dated cheques will not be accepted. An Application may not be considered as 'complete' until identity verification is completed and/or, where relevant, information or supporting evidence required for the Application remains outstanding.

The full terms and conditions of the Offer can be found at the end of this document.

Offer Price

The price at which the Offer Shares will be issued to an investor is determined by the Pricing Formula (as detailed below). The Pricing Formula for all investors is based on the latest announced net asset value per Share to which are added applicable up-front costs to generate a bespoke Offer price for each individual investor. As a result, the Offer is not expected to have any material dilutive effect on an existing Shareholder's net asset value per share.

In addition, all up-front costs are paid post investment allowing a Qualifying Investor to obtain VCT tax reliefs in respect of the full amount of their investment.

Costs of the Offer

The Company will pay the Manager, in its capacity as promoter of the Offer, a promoter fee (Direct Offer Costs) equal to (i) 2.5% of the amount subscribed by Retail Client Investors, Professional Client Investors and Execution-Only Investors and (ii) 4.5% of the amount subscribed by Direct Investors. The relevant amount of Direct Offer Costs will be borne by the investors through the Pricing Formula. Additional costs which may apply to non-direct investors are set out further below.

In respect of each investor, the Manager's fees will, where relevant, be reduced by the Existing Foresight Shareholder Loyalty Discount (as referred to below) and any other discount the Manager may agree to offer any particular investor or group of investors (i.e. the Direct Offer Costs applicable to the investor are reduced which will increase the number of Offer Shares to be issued to that investor).

In consideration of such fee, the Manager, in its capacity as promoter of the Offer, will meet all of the costs of the Offer other than financial intermediary commissions, adviser charges and payments to investors from which up-front adviser charges will be facilitated (which are borne by the investor).

Up-front adviser charges can be facilitated by the Company up to a maximum of 4.5% but will be borne by the investor through the Pricing Formula. This is in addition to the Direct Offer Costs referred to above. Ongoing adviser charges will need to be settled directly by the investor.

Initial commission to financial intermediaries will be paid by the Company, but also borne by the investor through the Pricing Formula. This is in addition to the Direct Offer Costs referred to above. No trail commission to financial intermediaries will be paid in respect of this Offer. Further details on the facilitation of adviser charges and payment of commission are set out below.

By taking into account an investor's up-front direct or indirect Offer costs through the Pricing Formula, a bespoke Offer price is generated for each investor. This results in the number of Offer Shares issued to an investor being reduced accordingly.

Net Proceeds

Assuming full subscription under the Offer, and assuming that all successful Applicants are Direct Investors (who are not entitled to the Existing Foresight Shareholder Loyalty Discount or any other discount), the Direct Offer Costs (there being no other applicable costs in these circumstances) would be £1.8 million and the net proceeds would be £38.2 million.

It is likely that the net proceeds will be greater as it is anticipated that the majority of the investors will be Retail Client Investors, Professional Client Investors and Execution-Only Investors where the aggregate of up-front costs is expected to be lower than the up-front costs for Direct Investors due to financial intermediaries waiving some or all of their initial commission, up-front adviser charges being on average less than 3% and a number of investors likely to be entitled to the Existing Foresight Shareholder Loyalty Discount.

Retail Client Investors

Direct Offer Costs*	2.5%
Up-front adviser charges*	Variable – can be facilitated
Ongoing adviser charges*	Variable – payable by the investor

Adviser charges must be agreed between an investor and their adviser and paid for by the investor. Up-front adviser charges can be facilitated by the Company up to a maximum of 4.5%. Up-front charges in excess of this and ongoing adviser charges will need to be settled directly by the investor.

* Expressed as a percentage of an investor's subscription.

In December 2012, the rules on payment of commission to financial intermediaries changed to prevent commissions being paid to a financial adviser making a personal recommendation to Retail Client Investors (investors who classify themselves as retail clients under the FCA Rules).

Instead of commission being determined by a product provider, fees for advice must be agreed between the client and their financial adviser and paid by the client. A product provider can, however, facilitate the payment.

Up-front Adviser Charges

The Company can facilitate up-front adviser charges (in whole or part), to the extent an investor requests this, from a payment made to the investor, which is taken into account in the Pricing Formula, increasing the Offer price for the investor and thereby reducing the number of Offer Shares the investor receives.

The maximum amount that will be facilitated is an amount equal to 4.5% of the investment (this should not be taken as a recommendation or guide as to the level of appropriate up-front adviser charges). Any adviser charges agreed in excess of this amount will need to be settled by the investor directly to their adviser. The up-front adviser charge will be facilitated from a payment to the investor made from the Company's share premium account (or reserves created therefrom) attributable to Shares issued prior to 1 January 2022.

Ongoing Adviser Charges

Ongoing adviser charges will need to be settled by the investor directly to their adviser.

Professional Client Investors and Execution-Only Investors

Direct Offer Costs*	2.5%
Initial commission to financial intermediaries*	3.0%

No trail commission will be paid to financial intermediaries in respect of this Offer.

Initial Commission to Financial Intermediaries

Initial commission to financial intermediaries will be paid by the Company but borne by the investor through the Pricing Formula, increasing the Offer price for the investor and thereby reducing the number of Offer Shares the investor receives. Initial commission may be waived (in whole or part) by a financial intermediary for the benefit of the financial intermediary's client. This will reduce the amount of initial commission taken into account in the Pricing Formula reducing the Offer price for the investor and thereby increasing the number of Offer Shares the investor receives.

Existing Trail Commission Arrangements

In respect of existing trail commission arrangements to financial intermediaries, such payments will continue (to the extent permitted under legislation and regulations), but not if subsequent financial advice in respect of the holding is given. As a result, should a Shareholder who decides to seek financial advice from their existing execution-only financial intermediary in respect of participating in the Offer, any trail commission which is currently being paid to that financial intermediary pursuant to an existing holding in the Company must cease and the Manager and/or the Company should be notified accordingly.

Direct Investors

Direct Offer Costs*	4.5%

Investment without financial intermediary involvement.

Existing Foresight Shareholder Loyalty Discount

Existing shareholders in any of the Foresight VCTs will receive a loyalty discount of 0.5% (subject to the discretion of the Manager). The Existing Foresight Shareholder Loyalty Discount will be applied by reducing the Direct Offer Costs in relation to an investor's subscription and is effectively a reduction in the Manager's fee for the relevant investor.

Pricing Formula

Investors are invited to subscribe for an amount in pounds sterling rather than apply for a particular number of Offer Shares. The number of Offer Shares to be allotted to a successful Applicant is determined by dividing the investment amount by the Offer price derived from the Pricing Formula below:

Offer Price = NAV ÷ X

where:

NAV = the most recently published NAV per Share on the day of the allotment, adjusted for dividends declared and for which the record date for payment has passed at the time of allotment; and

X = 1 – Total Net Fees

Total Net Fees means, as applicable, the Direct Offer Costs and, as applicable, any financial intermediary initial commission or up-front adviser charge to be facilitated for the relevant investor, expressed as a percentage of the amount subscribed.

^* Expressed as a percentage of an investor's subscription.

^* Expressed as a percentage of an investor's subscription.

Pricing Formula

For example, if, for a retail investor, the variable up-front adviser charge was an amount equal to 2% of the investment amount and the investor was an existing shareholder in one of the Foresight VCTs entitled to the Existing Foresight Shareholder Loyalty Discount (which reduces the Direct Offer Costs to 2% of the investment amount), Total Net Fees would be 0.04 and X would be 0.96.

The Direct Offer Costs and, as applicable, any financial intermediary initial commission or up-front adviser charge are expected to be the only up-front costs and charges an investor will (directly or indirectly) suffer.

Potential investors should note that the NAV per Share may rise or fall during the Offer period.

The number of Offer Shares to be allotted by the Company will be rounded down to the nearest whole number and fractions of Offer Shares will not be allotted.

Results of the Offer

The following will be announced through RIS Announcements:

• ș following each allotment, the number of Offer Shares issued and the range of Offer prices relating to the allotment; and
• ș following close and the final allotment under the Offer, the final results of the Offer.

Share Certificates, CREST and Nominees

The Offer Shares will be issued in the Applicant's name in either registered form (i.e. certificated) or uncertificated form (i.e. via CREST). Investors will (where applicable) receive a share certificate in respect of their holding within ten Business Days of allotment.

The Company is registered with CREST, a paperless settlement system. Applicants can request that Offer Shares be issued into a CREST account and/or a nominee by completing the relevant section of the Application Form.

In all cases, no temporary documents of title will be issued.

Use of Proceeds

It is intended that the net proceeds of the Offer will be pooled with the existing cash resources of the Company and utilised as follows:

• ș to make new and follow-on investments in accordance with the Company's investment policy;
• ș to fund the payment of dividends and make market purchases of Shares, subject to having unrestricted (for VCT legislation purposes) distributable reserves; and
• ș to meet annual running costs.

Investor Profile

The profile of a typical investor for whom Shares in the Company are designed is a retail investor, aged 18 or over, who is a UK higher rate or additional rate tax payer and who is looking for exposure to investments in smaller unquoted companies, in addition to VCT tax reliefs, as part of a diversified portfolio.

Any decision to invest in the Company should be based on consideration of the Prospectus as a whole as well as the latest publicly available financial information on the Company. An investment in the Company is only suitable for investors who are capable of evaluating the risks and merits of such investment (having considered and utilised or ruled out other forms of income tax planning) and who have sufficient resources to bear any loss and/or manage any liquidity constraints which might result from the investment.

The Board

The Board comprises four directors, all of whom are non-executive and independent of the Manager and considered independent for the purposes of the UK Corporate Governance Code and the UK Listing Rules.

The Directors have significant relevant experience of similar investment funds, regulatory organisations, corporate governance of listed companies, the private equity industry and investing in small companies.

The Board continues to review its own performance and undertakes succession planning to maintain an appropriate level of independence, experience, diversity and skills in order to be in a position to discharge all its responsibilities.

In this regard, it is intended that Michael Gray will step down as a director at the annual general meeting of the Company to be held later this year and that Kavita Patel will take over as Chair of the Board from such time. Kavita will provide valuable continuity, having already served on the Board for the last two years, including as Chair of the Nomination and Management Engagement & Remuneration Committees, and will be ably supported by her fellow Directors. With this transition in mind and from a board continuity and succession planning perspective the Board are also considering the appointment of an additional director.

Management and Administration

The Board sets the Company's policies and objectives and ensures that its obligations to the Shareholders are met. The Board has overall responsibility for the Company's affairs, including approving valuations (prepared by the Manager) and NAVs (calculated by the Manager) which are published quarterly or more often if required.

The Board is responsible to shareholders for the proper management of the Company and meets at least quarterly and on an ad hoc basis as required.

Board Committees

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee is chaired by Gaynor Coley and comprises all directors other than Michael Gray, who has a right to attend meetings, but not participate in decision making. All committee members are considered to have sufficient recent and relevant financial experience to discharge the role. The committee meets at least twice a year to consider, amongst other things, the following:

• ș review the valuation of unquoted investments;
• ș monitor the integrity of the annual and half-yearly reports of the Company and recommend the accounts to the Board for approval;
• ș review the Company's internal control and risk management systems;
• ș make recommendations to the Board in relation to the appointment of the external auditor;
• ș review and monitor the external auditor's independence; and
• ș implement and review the Company's policy on the engagement of the external auditor to supply non-audit services.

Nomination Committee

The Nomination Committee comprises all directors, with Kavita Patel as chair, and meets at least annually to consider the composition and balance of skills, knowledge and experience of the Board and to make nominations to the Board in the event of a vacancy. The Board has decided that the entire Board of Directors due to its size should fulfil the role of the Nomination Committee.

The Board believes that, as a whole, it has an appropriate balance of skills, experience and knowledge. The Board also believes that diversity of experience and approach, including gender diversity, amongst Board members is important and it is the Company's policy to give careful consideration to issues of Board balance and diversity when making new appointments.

The Board currently comprises two male Directors and two female Directors. There is no formal diversity policy in place however the Board is conscious of the need for diversity and will consider both male and female candidates from all ethnic backgrounds when making new appointments. The Nomination Committee makes recommendations to the Board on the Company's succession plans and also considers the resolutions for the annual re-election of Directors.

Management Engagement & Remuneration Committee

The Management Engagement & Remuneration Committee comprises all directors, with Kavita Patel as chair, and meets at least annually to consider the levels of remuneration of the Directors. The Management Engagement & Remuneration Committee also reviews the appointment and terms of engagement of the Manager. The Board has decided that the entire Board of Directors due to its size should fulfil the role of the Management Engagement & Remuneration Committee.

Management and Administration

Board Evaluation

The Board undertakes a formal annual evaluation of its own performance and that of its committees, as recommended by the AIC Code. Initially, the evaluation takes the form of a questionnaire for the Chair and individual Directors. The Chair then discusses the results with the Board (and its committees) and following completion of this stage of the evaluation, the Chair will take appropriate action to address any issues arising from the process.

Additionally, in June 2025, the Board undertook an external evaluation of its own performance and that of its committees, the findings of which have been reviewed and are being implemented by the Board.

Corporate Governance Internal Controls

The Directors have overall responsibility for the Company's system of internal control and for reviewing its effectiveness. The internal controls system is designed to manage rather than eliminate the risks of failure to achieve the Company's business objectives. The system is designed to meet the particular needs of the Company and the risks to which it is exposed and by its nature can provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance against misstatement or loss.

The Board has delegated the financial administration to the Manager, which has an established system of financial control, including internal financial controls, to ensure that proper accounting records are maintained and that financial information for use within the business and for reporting to Shareholders is accurate and reliable and that the Company's assets are safeguarded.

The Board, therefore, has decided that it is not necessary to have its own internal audit function. It has decided that the systems and procedures employed by the Manager, the Audit Committee and other third party advisers provide sufficient assurance that a sound system of internal control, which safeguards Shareholders' investments and the Company's assets, is maintained. In addition, the Company's financial statements are audited by external auditors.

The Manager was appointed as the company secretary in 2017 with responsibilities relating to the administration of the non-financial systems of internal control. All Directors have access to the advice and services of the officers of the Company secretary, who is responsible to the Board for ensuring that Board procedures and applicable rules and regulations are complied with. Pursuant to the terms of its appointment, the Manager invests the Company's assets and has physical custody of documents of title relating to equity investments.

There is a continuous process for identifying, evaluating and managing the significant risks faced by the Company, and this process is regularly reviewed by the Board and accords with the guidance. The process is based principally on the Manager's existing risk-based approach to internal control whereby a risk register is created that identifies the key functions carried out by the Manager and other service providers, the individual activities undertaken within those functions, the risks associated with each activity and the controls employed to minimise those risks. A residual risk rating is then applied.

The Board is provided with reports highlighting all changes to the risk ratings and confirming the action that has been, or is being, taken. This process covers consideration of the key business, operational, compliance and financial risks facing the Company and includes consideration of the risks associated with the Company's arrangements with the Manager, Shakespeare Martineau LLP and other service providers.

The Board, through the Audit Committee, performs a review of the effectiveness of the system of internal control, together with a review of the operational and compliance controls and risk management, as it operated during the year and reports its conclusions to the Board. While the Manager supports the aims and objectives of the Stewardship Code, it is not currently a signatory to the code which is more applicable to listed securities.

UK Corporate Governance Code

The FCA requires all listed companies to disclose how they have applied the principles and complied with the provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code (the UK Code) issued by the Financial Reporting Council.

As a VCT, the Company's day-to-day responsibilities are delegated to third parties and the Directors are all non‑executive. The Board considers that reporting against the principles and provisions of the 2024 AIC Code of Corporate Governance (AIC Code), which has been endorsed by the Financial Reporting Council, provides more relevant information to Shareholders. The AIC Code addresses the principles and provisions set out in the UK Code, as well as setting out additional provisions on issues that are of specific relevance to the Company.

Management and Administration

Corporate Governance

UK Corporate Governance Code

Unless noted as an exception below, the Company complies with the requirements of the AIC Code and the UK Code.

• ș In light of the responsibilities retained by the Board and its committees and of the responsibilities delegated to the Manager, Shakespeare Martineau LLP and other service providers, the Company has not appointed a chief executive officer, deputy chair or a senior independent non-executive director as recommended by the UK Code. The provisions of the UK Code which relate to the division of responsibilities between a chair and a chief executive officer are, accordingly, not applicable to the Company.
• ș As the Board has delegated the financial administration to the Manager and procures additional services from other third party providers, the Board has decided that it is not necessary to have its own internal audit function.

Kavita Patel was a partner at Shakespeare Martineau until 31 July 2024 and thereafter a consultant to Shakespeare Martineau until 30 April 2025. Shakespeare Martineau provides legal and VCT status advice to the Company, as well as legal services to the Manager. Historically, Kavita was responsible for delivering these services; however, she ceased to have any involvement in the provision of services to the Company in May 2023 prior to her appointment to the Board and her involvement in the provision of services to the Manager were non-VCT related from the same date. During the financial period ended 31 December 2025 the Board undertook a detailed assessment of Kavita's independence. It was concluded that, while her consultancy arrangement with Shakespeare Martineau was ongoing she would not be considered independent for the purpose of the UK Listing Rules or the AIC Code due to Shakespeare Martineau's role as a professional adviser to the Company and the Manager.

Following the conclusion of Kavita's consultancy arrangement with Shakespeare Martineau on 30 April 2025 she is now independent for the purposes of the UK Listing Rules and the Board considers her independent for the purposes of the AIC Code, the Board having concluded that her prior involvement, in particular as the relationship is historic and the nature was that of a legal adviser, does not create a conflict of interest or compromise her independence.

Investment Management and Administration

The Company has appointed the Manager to provide investment management services. The Board has delegated investment decisions to the Manager (save for where conflicts of interest and/or regulatory requirements require the Board to make investment decisions) pursuant to the investment management arrangements.

The Company has also appointed the Manager to provide administration services which include company secretarial, bookkeeping and accounting and safe-custody of documents of title services required in connection with the business and the operation of the Company.

The Company has and will continue to have custody of its own assets:

• ș monetary assets will be held in bank accounts and/or money market accounts in the Company's own name; and
• ș investments (both unquoted and, if applicable, quoted) and the corresponding share certificates will also be issued in the Company's own name.

The Manager (i.e. Foresight Group LLP) is a subsidiary undertaking of Foresight Group Holdings Limited and is registered in England and Wales. The Manager is authorised and regulated by the FCA (registration number 198020) to provide investment advisory and management services, arrange deals in investments and to make arrangements with a view to transactions in investments.

The business of the Manager, primarily being the provision of investment management and advisory services, was originally carried out by VCF Partners, formed in 1984, before being novated to the Manager. Its principal place of operation is The Shard, 32 London Bridge Street, London SE1 9SG (tel: 020 3667 8100 and website: https://www.foresight.group*).

Further details on the Manager are set out in Part II of this document.

VCT Status Monitoring

Shakespeare Martineau LLP provides legal advice and assistance in relation to the maintenance of VCT tax status of the Company, including reviews of the investment portfolio of the Company to ensure continuing compliance. Reviews of prospective investments are carried out by advisers assisting on the relevant investment transaction.

Investor Communications

The Board places a great deal of importance on communicating with its Shareholders and supports open communication with Shareholders. In addition to the announcement and publication of the annual report and the half-yearly financial report, the Manager also publishes fact sheets for the March and September quarters which can be accessed via the Company's website: www.foresightenterprisevct.com*.

Objectives and Policies

Investment Objective

To provide private investors with regular dividends and capital growth from a portfolio of investments in fast-growing unquoted companies in the UK. It is the intention to maximise tax-free income available to investors from a combination of dividends and interest received on investments and the distribution of capital gains arising from trade sales or flotations.

Investment Policy

The Company will target UK unquoted companies which it believes will achieve the objective of producing attractive returns for Shareholders.

Investment Securities

The Company invests in a range of securities including ordinary and preference shares, loan stock, convertible securities, fixed-interest securities and cash. Unquoted investments are usually structured as a combination of ordinary shares and loan stock. Cash is primarily held in interest bearing accounts as well as in a range of permitted liquidity investments.

UK Companies

Investments are primarily made in companies which are substantially based in the UK, although many will trade overseas. The companies in which investments are made must satisfy a number of tests set out in Part 6 of the ITA 2007 to be classed as VCT qualifying holdings.

Asset Mix

The Company aims to be significantly invested in growth businesses, subject always to the quality of investment opportunities and the timing of realisations. Any uninvested funds are held in cash and a range of permitted liquidity investments.

Risk Diversification and Maximum Exposures

Risk is spread by investing in a range of different businesses within different industry sectors at different stages of development, using a mixture of securities. The maximum amount invested in any one company, including any guarantees to banks or third parties providing loans or other investment to such a company, is limited by VCT legislation to 15% of the Company's investments (which includes cash) by VCT value at the time of investment.

Investment Style

Investments are selected in the expectation that value will be enhanced by the application of private equity disciplines, including an active management style for unquoted companies through the placement of an investor director on investee company boards.

Borrowing Powers

The Company has a borrowing limit of an amount not exceeding an amount equal to 50% of the adjusted capital and reserves (being the aggregate of the amount paid up on the issued share capital of the Company and the amount standing to the credit of its reserves). Whilst the Company does not currently borrow, and the Board has no plans to do so, its Articles allow it to do so.

Co-investment Policy

The Company may invest alongside other funds managed or advised by The Foresight Group. Where more than one fund is able to participate in an investment opportunity, allocations will generally be made in proportion to the net cash raised for each such fund, other than where (i) a fund has a preexisting investment where the incumbent fund will have priority, (ii) priority is agreed in relation to a particular fund, (iii) the availability of monies to make the investment and (iv) other portfolio considerations, such as the portfolio diversity and the need to maintain VCT status, all of which is set out in The Foresight Group private equity allocation policy as agreed with the Board from time to time. This may mean that the Company may receive a greater or lesser allocation than would otherwise be the case under the normal allocation policy.

Where the Company invests in companies in which other funds managed or advised by The Foresight Group have invested or are investing, conflicts of interest may arise and the Board will exercise its judgement in managing such conflicts. In such circumstances, the Manager will apply The Foresight Group's conflicts policy in order to reconcile the conflict in the first instance and thereafter, if required, the Board will exercise its independent judgement, so far as it is able, to protect the interests of the Company. It may not, in such circumstances, be possible to fully protect the interests of the Company.

Objectives and Policies

Dividend Policy

The Board will endeavour to pay annual dividends of at least 5% of the NAV per Share based on the opening NAV per Share of that financial year. The aim of the Board and the Manager is for future investment performance to support this level of distribution, whilst also enhancing the NAV per Share at around its current level. This level of dividend may be exceeded by the payment of additional 'special' dividends as and when particularly successful portfolio disposals are made.

Investors should note that the Company only pays dividends by way of bank transfer direct to investors' accounts.

Share Buyback Policy

It is the Company's policy, subject to adequate cash availability and distributable reserves, to consider repurchasing Shares when they become available in order to help provide liquidity to the market in the Shares. The Board continues to have an objective of achieving and maintaining buybacks at a discount of 5% to the prevailing NAV per Share over the medium term, subject to market conditions.

Share buybacks will be subject to having appropriate authorities from Shareholders, the UK Listing Rules and any applicable law at the relevant time. Shares may be bought back into treasury or cancelled at the Board's discretion.

Dividend Reinvestment Scheme

The Company operates, through Computershare Investor Services PLC, a dividend reinvestment scheme whereby Shareholders can elect to have their dividends reinvested in further Shares. Under the scheme, dividends are reinvested at the last published NAV per Share prior to allotment (adjusted for dividends). The terms of the scheme can be accessed via the Company's website: www.foresightenterprisevct.com.

Investors under the Offer can elect to participate in the dividend reinvestment scheme by completing the relevant section in the Application Form.

Valuation Policy

Investments held by the Company have been valued in accordance with the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation (IPEV) guidelines (December 2022 and further COVID-19 guidance for March 2020) developed by the British Venture Capital Association and other organisations. Through these guidelines, investments are valued as defined at 'fair value'. Where the investment being valued was made recently, its cost would normally provide a good starting point for estimating fair value. At each measurement date, fair value is estimated using appropriate valuation techniques. Investments quoted or traded on a market are valued at bid price.

The portfolio valuations are prepared by the Manager, reviewed and approved by the Board quarterly and are subject to annual review by the external auditor. The Company's net asset value will be calculated quarterly and published by way of a RIS Announcement.

In the event of any suspension of listing, valuations will be held at the suspended price and the view is taken with consideration to best market practice and information from advisers. The Directors do not anticipate any circumstances arising under which the calculation of the net asset value may be suspended. Should the determination of the net asset value differ from that set out above then this will be communicated to investors in the Company through a RIS Announcement.

Conflicts

The Manager's fees are based on a percentage of net assets and, therefore, there is a conflict in the valuations it proposes in relation to investments. This conflict is managed by the valuation of investments being reviewed each quarter and approved by the Board, and reviewed annually by external auditors.

The Manager (and the wider Foresight Group) may also receive arrangement, transaction, exit and directors' fees in connection with investments made by the Company subject to certain limits or otherwise as approved by the Board.

The Manager and the wider Foresight Group currently manage over 50 funds/sub-funds, which they are managing under delegation. Where the Company invests in companies in which other funds managed or advised by the Manager and The Foresight Group have invested or are investing, conflicts of interest may arise and the Board will exercise its judgement in managing such conflicts. In such circumstances, the Manager will apply The Foresight Group conflicts policy in order to reconcile the conflict in the first instance and thereafter, if required, the Board will exercise its independent judgement, so far as it is able, to protect the interests of the Company. It may not, in such circumstances, be possible to fully protect the interests of the Company.

Travel and other expenses that are recoverable from the Company may be considered benefits to the Directors. Where applicable, any associated tax liability will be settled by the Company.

Save as set out above, there are no material potential conflicts of interest which any of the Directors, the Manager, The Foresight Group or any other of the service providers to the Company may have as between their duty to the Company and the duties owed to third parties and/or their other interests.

Annual Expenses

Investment Management and Administration Fees

The Manager receives an annual investment management fee of an amount equal to 2% of the net assets of the Company. Management fees are calculated and paid quarterly in advance. Supplemental management fees are paid in relation to funds raised during the quarter.

The Manager also receives an annual administration fee. The fee for the 12 month period to 31 March 2026 is £217,756, with such amount thereafter annually uplifted on 1 April in each year for RPI (on a compounding basis). The administration fee is calculated and paid quarterly in advance subject to VAT.

The Manager is responsible for any fees payable to any of its delegates, associates or service providers.

Annual Expenses Cap

The normal annual running costs of the Company (these being the normal expenses incurred in its ordinary course of business) are capped at an amount equal to 2.35% of the net assets of the Company as at the end of each financial year with any excess being borne by the Manager. The annual expenses for the financial year 31 December 2024 were an amount equal to approximately 2.30% of the net assets. The annual expenses cap is expected to be in operation for the year ended 31 December 2025.

Normal annual running costs include annual investment management and administration fees, directors' remuneration, normal fees payable to the Company's registrars, stockbroker, auditors, solicitors and VCT status advisers and irrecoverable VAT. It does not include performance incentive fees, historic trail commission or exceptional items.

Performance Incentive Arrangements

In addition to the annual investment management fee, the Board believes it is appropriate to incentivise the Manager to generate enhanced returns for Shareholders and reward the Manager for exceptional performance. The following performance incentive arrangement seeks to do this by aligning the payment of a performance fee to Shareholder returns.

The Manager is entitled to a performance incentive fee of an amount equal to 15% of dividends paid to Shareholders, subject to the NAV per Share plus cumulative dividends (paid on or after 11 January 2011) exceeding 100p per Share (High Watermark) both immediately before and immediately after the fee is paid.

After each distribution is made to Shareholders where a performance incentive is paid to the Manager, the High Watermark required to be achieved by the Company to trigger a performance incentive fee will be amended to take account of the dividend paid (net of the performance incentive fee payment made to the Manager).

As a result of previous performance incentive fee payments made (including a performance incentive fee of £318,000 paid following the payment of the special dividend in May 2025), the High Watermark as at 30 September 2025 was 117.4p. The total return as at 30 September 2025 on the above basis (i.e. net asset value plus cumulative dividends paid per Share paid on or after 11 January 2011) is 118.5p.

Working Capital Statement

The Company is of the opinion that the working capital available to the Company is sufficient for its present requirements; that is for at least the twelve month period from the date of this document.

When calculating the working capital available to the Company, the Company has assessed whether it is able to access cash and other available liquid resources in order to meet its liabilities as they fall due.

When calculating its present requirements, the Company has taken into account the terms of its investment strategy and investment policy.

		% of Issued
	Shares	Share Capital
Michael Gray	28,448	0.01
Kavita Patel*	38,645	0.01

Ian Harris	22,046	0.01

• 4.2 Save as set out above, no Director, family member or any person connected with any Director (within the meaning of section 252 of CA 2006) has an interest in the capital of the Company which is or would, immediately following the Offer, be required to be notified pursuant to section 809 of CA 2006 or which is or would be required to be entered in the register maintained under section 809 of CA 2006.

4. Directors' Interests

4.3 None of the Directors have a service contract, nor are any such contracts proposed. Michael Gray was appointed as a Director on 14 February 2017 and became Chair on 1 January 2024. Gaynor Coley was appointed as a Director on 10 September 2020. Kavita Patel was appointed as a director on 1 September 2023. Ian Harris was appointed as a director on 1 December 2023. The appointments may be terminated by either party on written notice and all Directors are subject to retirement annually. Their appointment does not confer any right to hold office for any period or any right to compensation if they cease to be Directors. The office of non-executive director is also not pensionable.

The annual remuneration (effective from 1 July 2025) receivable by Michael Gray as a Director and Chair of the Board is £38,000, by Kavita Patel as a Director, Deputy Chair and chair of the Nomination and Management Engagement & Remuneration Committees is £29,600, by Gaynor Coley as a Director and chair of the Audit Committee is £34,400 and by Ian Harris as a Director is £28,200 (in each case plus employer's National Insurance Contributions).

Travel and other expenses incurred are recoverable from the Company and may be considered benefits to the Directors. Where applicable, any associated tax liability will be settled by the Company.

For the year ended 31 December 2025, the total remuneration received by the Directors was £128,254 (Michael Gray: £37,434; Kavita Patel: £29,152; Gaynor Coley: £33,892; Ian Harris: £27,776) plus employers National Insurance Contributions. Aggregate Directors' emoluments for the year to 31 December 2026 are expected to be £130,200 (plus employers National Insurance Contributions).

• 4.4 Save as set out in paragraph 4.3, there are no potential conflicts of interest of any Directors between their duties carried out on behalf of the Company and their private interests and/or other duties. Kavita Patel was, until 30 April 2025, a consultant to Shakespeare Martineau LLP which provides legal and VCT status advice to the Company. Although Kavita was responsible for the services provided by Shakespeare Martineau to the Company, she ceased this role prior to being appointed and did not provide advice to the Company in this capacity during that time. As a result, the Board does not consider her to have any conflicts of interest and regards Kavita Patel to be an independent director.
• 4.5 No Director is or has been interested in any transaction which is or was unusual in its nature or conditions or significant to the business of the Company and which was effected by the Company in the current or immediately preceding financial year or which were effected during an earlier financial year or financial period and which remains in any respect outstanding or unperformed.
• 4.6 No loan or guarantee has been granted or provided by the Company to or for the benefit of any of the Directors.
• 4.7 The Foresight Group has, on behalf of the Company, procured directors' and officers' liability insurance for the benefit of its directors, which is renewable on an annual basis.

The appointment may also be terminated in circumstances of material breach by the Company or the Manager (or its delegates, subcontractors and service providers) or by the Company if the Manager is no longer authorised by the FCA to provide such services. The Company may appoint other parties in substitution of the Manager as investment adviser or manager in respect of the whole or part of the Company's investment portfolio if it believes that this is necessary to preserve the status of the Company as a VCT. The Manager may delegate, subcontract, procure services from other parties subject to prior approval from the Board (the Manager, however, remains responsible to the Company for all such services).

The Board has permitted the Manager to procure investment management advisory services from Foresight CI in connection with delivering its investment management services to the Company. Foresight CI (the parent undertaking of the Manager) and Foresight Group Holdings Limited (the parent company of Foresight CI) have also provided a guarantee under the agreement in respect of the obligations of the Manager.

5. Material contracts

The Manager receives an annual management fee of an amount equal to 2.0% of the net assets of the Company, calculated and payable quarterly in advance, together with any applicable VAT thereon in respect of investment management services. Supplemental management fees are paid in relation to funds raised during the quarter. The Manager also receives an annual administration fee. The fee for the 12 month period to 31 March 2026 is £217,756, with such amount thereafter annually uplifted on 1 April in each year for RPI (on a compounding basis). The administration fee is calculated and payable quarterly in advance and subject to VAT.

The normal annual expenses of the Company are capped at an amount equal to 2.35% of the Company's net assets. Any excess over this amount will be borne by the Manager. Normal annual expenses include the annual expenses of the Company incurred in its ordinary course of business, the annual investment management and administration fees, directors' remuneration, normal fees payable to the Company's registrars, stockbroker, auditors, solicitors and VCT status advisers and irrecoverable VAT. It does not include performance incentive fees, historic trail commission or exceptional items.

The agreement contains provisions indemnifying the Manager against any liability not due to its default, negligence, fraud or breach of financial services regulatory requirements.

The Manager (and its group companies) may retain any arrangement, transaction, exit and directors' fees which it receives in connection with an investment made by the Company subject to certain limits or otherwise as approved by the Board.

5.2 A carried interest agreement dated 11 January 2011 between the Company (1) and the Manager (2) pursuant to which the Manager is entitled to a performance incentive fee equal in value to 15% of dividends paid to Shareholders, subject to the net asset value plus cumulative dividends paid per Share (paid on or after 11 January 2011) exceeding 100.0p per Share (High Watermark), both immediately before and immediately after the performance related incentive fee is paid.

After each distribution is made to Shareholders where a performance incentive is paid to the Manager, the High Watermark required to be achieved by the Company to trigger a performance incentive fee will be amended to take account of the dividend paid (net of the performance incentive fee payment made to the Manager).

As a result of previous performance incentive fee payments made (including a performance incentive fee of £318,000 paid following the payment of the special dividend in May 2025), the current High Watermark as at 30 September 2025 was 117.4p. The total return as at 30 September 2025 on the above basis (i.e. net asset value plus cumulative dividends paid per Share paid on or after 11 January 2011) is 118.5p.

The fee can be paid in cash or through triggering a conditional right to subscribe for Shares.

The letter is supplemental to an engagement letter dated 11 October 2024 in respect of the Company's previous fundraising and contains warranties and representations given by the Company to BDO LLP in connection with the Prospectus. The engagement may be terminated if any statement in the Prospectus is untrue or any material omission from the Prospectus arises. The fees payable to BDO LLP are part of the costs of the Offer for which the Manager is responsible.
• 5.5 A promoter's agreement dated 6 January 2026 between the Company and the Manager whereby the Manager has agreed to act as promoter in connection with the Offer. The agreement contains warranties and indemnities given by the Company to the Manager. The Company will pay to the Manager a fee of 2.5% of the amount subscribed by Retail Client Investors, Professional Client Investors and Execution-Only Investors and 4.5% of the amount subscribed by Direct Investors. In consideration of this fee, the Manager has agreed to meet all costs, expenses and charges of, or incidental to, the Offer (other than financial intermediary commissions, adviser charges and payments to investors from which up-front adviser charges will be facilitated). All up-front costs and financial intermediary charges and commissions will be borne by the investor through the price which the investor pays for the Offer Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, the Manager will not offer trail commission in respect of this Offer. Ongoing adviser charges will be payable by relevant investors. In respect of each investor, the fees in respect of that investor will be reduced by the Existing Foresight Shareholder Loyalty Discount and any other discount the Manager may agree to offer to a particular investor or group of investors.

6. Share Rights

6.1 Votes of members

Subject to any special rights which may apply to any class of shares that may have been issued or may from time to time be held, every member who is present in person, including any corporation present by its duly authorised representative, or by proxy, at a physical general meeting of the Company shall, on a show of hands, have one vote (save for a duly appointed proxy who, where instructed by one or more members to vote for the resolution (or given discretion as to how to vote) and by one or more members to vote against the resolution (or given discretion as to how to vote) shall have one vote for and one vote against the resolution). On a poll every member present in person or by proxy shall have one vote for each share of which he is a holder.

At an electronic general meeting (or a general meeting being simultaneously held in multiple places one of which is by way of an electronic facility) a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be voted on by a poll, which poll votes may, in respect of electronic attendees be cast by such electronic means as the Board in its sole discretion deems appropriate for the purposes of the meeting. The Board may, in its discretion, determine that electronic attendees may cast their votes by way of proxy votes to the chair prior to the meeting only.

Where shares are held jointly, the vote of the senior who has tendered a vote, whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders and for this purpose seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names stand in the register of members of the Company in respect of the holding.

A member will lose their right to vote at a general meeting or at any separate meeting of the holders of any class of share, whether in person or by proxy, unless all calls presently payable by them in respect of those shares, together with interest and expenses (if any) have been paid in full to the Company, even where those shares are jointly held. The right to vote, together with all other rights and benefits of membership, will also be lost where the member (or any other person claiming to have an interest in such shares) has been issued with a notice pursuant to section 793 of CA 2006 (which requires the member or such other person to declare their interest in the shares) and has failed to give the required information to the Company within the prescribed period of 14 days.

6.2 Variation of class rights

Whenever the share capital of the Company is divided into different classes of shares, the special rights attached to any class may, subject to CA 2006, be varied by the passing of a special resolution at a general meeting of such holders or, the written consent of holders of three quarters in nominal value of the issued shares of the affected class. At such a meeting the necessary quorum shall be at least two members of the class holding (or representing by proxy) not less than one third in nominal amount of the issued shares of that class and at an adjourned meeting one person (whether present in person or by proxy) holding shares of that class in question.

6.3 Transfer of shares

(i) Form of Transfer

A member may transfer any or all of their shares by instrument of transfer in writing in any usual or common form or in any other form acceptable to the Directors. The instrument of transfer should be signed by or on behalf of the transferor and, where the share is not fully paid, by or on behalf of the transferee. The transfer shall not become effective until the name of the transferee is entered into the register of members.

(ii) Right to Refuse Registration

The Directors may in their absolute discretion, and without assigning any reason therefor, refuse to register any transfer of shares where the shares in question are not fully paid up where such refusal does not restrict dealings on an open and proper basis. The Directors may also decline to register any transfer of share (not being a fully paid share) on which the Company has a lien.

The Directors may refuse to recognise an instrument of transfer unless the instrument of transfer is (a) in respect of only one class of share; (b) is in favour of not more than four transferees; and (c) is lodged at the transfer office accompanied by the relevant share certificates and any other evidence as the Directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer.

6. Share Rights

6.3 Transfer of shares

No transfer will be registered where a member, or any other person appearing to be interested in the shares held by them, has been served with a notice under section 793 of CA 2006 and, at the end of the prescribed period, is in default in supplying the information thereby required provided that those shares represent at least 0.25% (calculated exclusively of treasury shares) in nominal value of the issued shares of any class and subject to the exceptions specified in the Articles relating to the disclosure of interests. Restrictions on transfers do not apply to a sale to a bona fide, unconnected, third party.

6.4 Dividends

(i) Declaration of Dividends

The Company may by ordinary resolution and subject to the provisions of CA 2006 and the Articles declare dividends to be paid to members according to their respective rights and interest in the profit of the Company, provided that no dividend shall exceed the amount recommended by the Directors.

The Directors may pay interim dividends and also any fixed rate dividends if it appears to them that they are justified in so doing by the profits of the Company available for distribution.

(ii) Entitlement to Dividends

Except as otherwise provided by the rights that attach to any class of share, dividends shall be apportioned and paid pro rata according to the amounts paid up on the shares in respect of which the dividend is paid (except where those amounts are paid up in advance of calls).

If any dividend remains unclaimed after a period of 12 years from the date of the declaration of that dividend, it shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Company.

The Directors may, with the prior authority of an ordinary resolution of the Company, subject to such terms and conditions as the Directors may determine, offer to holders of shares the right to elect to receive shares credited as fully paid, instead of the whole (or some part, to be determined by the Directors) of any dividend specified by the ordinary resolution.

6.5 Distribution of Assets on Liquidation

On a winding-up, any surplus will be divided amongst the holders of shares according to the respective number of shares held by them, subject to any rights of any shares or class of shares which may be issued with special rights and privileges, in accordance with the Articles and CA 2006.

7. Related Party Transactions

Save for the entering into of the agreement set out in paragraph 5.5 above (in respect of which the maximum fee payable to the Manager thereunder of £1.8 million would, before settlement of expenses in connection with the Offer, represent 1.1% of the Company's net assets as shown in the 2025 Half-Yearly Report), the Company has not entered into any related party transactions within the meaning of IFRS or UK GAAP in the financial year ended 31 December 2025 or since 1 January 2026.

• 8.1 none of the Offer Shares have been or will be registered under the United States Securities Act 1933, as amended, (the Securities Act) or qualify under applicable United States state statute and the relevant clearances have not been, and will not be, obtained from the securities commission of any province of Canada, Australia, Japan, South Africa or New Zealand;

It is the responsibility of investors with registered addresses outside the UK to satisfy themselves as to the observance of the laws of the relevant jurisdiction in connection with the issue of Offer Shares, including the obtaining of any Government or exchange control or other consents which may be required, the compliance with any other necessary formalities which need to be observed and the payment of any issue, transfer or other taxes or duties due in such jurisdiction.

9. General Taxation

The following paragraphs, which are intended as a general guide only and are based on current legislation and HMRC practice, summarise advice received by the Directors as to the position of the Company's Shareholders who hold Shares other than for trading purposes. Any person who is in any doubt as to their taxation position or is subject to taxation in any jurisdiction other than the UK should consult their professional advisers.

• 9.1 Taxation of dividends under current law, no tax will be withheld by the Company when it pays a dividend.
• 9.2 Stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax the Company has been advised that no stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax will be payable on the issue of the Shares. The Company has further been advised that the transfer of Shares will, subject to any applicable exemptions, be liable to ad valorem stamp duty at the rate of 0.5% of the consideration paid. An unconditional agreement to transfer such shares if not completed by a duly stamped stock transfer will be subject to stamp duty reserve tax generally at the rate of 50p per £100 (or part thereof) of the consideration paid.
• 9.3 Close company the Directors believe that the Company is not, and expect that following completion of the Offer will not be, a close company within the meaning of ITA 2007. If the Company was a close company in any accounting period, approval as a VCT would be withdrawn.

10. Other

• 10.1 The Directors act and will continue to act independently of the Manager. No majority of the Directors will be directors or employees of, or former directors or employees of, or professional advisers to, the Manager or any other company in the same group as the Manager.

The short term impact of the Offer on earnings is expected to be accretive as any interest earned on cash balances raised is expected to be in excess of the Offer costs and, once the net funds raised have been successfully invested, the impact of the investments are expected to be accretive to earnings and the net asset value per Share.
• 10.5 A maximum of 75% of the Company's management expenses will be charged against capital with the balance to be met from income.
• 10.6 There are no governmental, legal or arbitration proceedings of the Company (including any such proceedings which are or were pending or threatened of which the Company is aware) during the 12 months prior to the date of this document which may have had, or had in the recent past, a significant effect on the Company's financial position or profitability.

• 10.8 The Company is subject to the investment restrictions relating to a venture capital trust in ITA 2007, as more particularly detailed in Part VI of this document, and in the UK Listing Rules which specify that (a) the Company must, at all times, invest and manage its assets in a way which is consistent with its objective of spreading investment risk and in accordance with its published investment policy as set out on page 61 of this document; (b) the Company must not conduct any trading activity which is significant in the context of its group as a whole; and (c) the Company may not invest more than 10%, in aggregate, of the value of the total assets of the Company (at the time an investment is made) in other listed closed-ended investment funds.

The Directors do not anticipate any other circumstance under which valuations may be suspended.

Tax Considerations for Investors

The following information is based on current UK law and practice, is subject to changes therein, is given by way of general summary and does not constitute legal, investment or tax advice. Potential investors are recommended to consult a professional adviser as to the taxation consequences of an investment in a VCT.

The following paragraphs apply to the Company and to the persons holding Shares as an investment and who are the absolute beneficial owners of such Shares. They may not apply to certain classes of persons, such as dealers in securities.

The tax reliefs set out below are those currently available to individuals who are UK tax payers and aged 18 or over who subscribe for Offer Shares under the Offer and will be dependent on personal circumstance. Whilst there is no specific limit on the amount of an individual's acquisition of shares in a VCT, tax reliefs will only be given to the extent that the total of an individual's subscriptions or other acquisitions of shares in VCTs in any tax year do not exceed £200,000 (including shares purchased in the secondary market and through dividend reinvestment schemes). Qualifying Investors who intend to invest more than £200,000 in VCTs in any one tax year should consult their professional advisers.

The tax legislation of an investor's Member State and the Company's country of incorporation may have an impact on the taxation of income received from the Offer Shares.

1. Tax reliefs

(a) Income tax

(i) Relief from income tax on investment

A Qualifying Investor subscribing for Offer Shares will be entitled to claim income tax relief on amounts subscribed up to a maximum of £200,000 invested in VCTs in any tax year.

The relief is given at the rate of 30%* on the amount subscribed for VCT shares regardless of whether the Qualifying Investor is a higher rate, additional rate or basic rate tax payer, provided that the relief is limited to the amount which reduces the Qualifying Investor's income tax liability to nil. Investments to be used as security for, or financed by, loans may not qualify for relief, depending on the circumstances.

* This is expected to reduce to 20% for subscriptions in VCT shares on and from 6 April 2026, as announced in the 2025 Autumn Budget.

(ii) Dividend relief

A Qualifying Investor, who acquires shares in VCTs (including through dividend reinvestment schemes) in any tax year costing up to a maximum of £200,000, will not be liable to income tax on dividends paid on those shares and there is no withholding tax thereon.

(iii) Purchases in the market

A Qualifying Investor who purchases shares in the secondary market will be entitled to claim dividend relief (as described in paragraph 1(a)(ii) above) but not relief from income tax on investment (as described in paragraph 1(a)(i) above).

(iv) Withdrawal of relief

Relief from income tax on a subscription for VCT shares will be withdrawn if the VCT shares are disposed of (other than between spouses or on death) within five years of issue or if the VCT loses its approval within this period as detailed below.

Dividend relief ceases to be available if the VCT loses its approval within this period, as detailed below, or if shares are no longer owned by a Qualifying Investor.

(b) Capital gains tax

(i) Relief from capital gains tax on the disposal of VCT shares

A disposal by a Qualifying Investor of VCT shares will give rise to neither a chargeable gain nor an allowable loss for the purposes of UK capital gains tax. The relief is limited to the disposal of VCT shares acquired within the limit of £200,000 for any tax year.

(ii) Purchases in the market

An individual purchaser of VCT shares in the secondary market will be entitled to claim relief from capital gains tax on disposal (as described in paragraph (b)(i) above).

Tax Considerations for Investors

1. Tax reliefs

(iii) Facilitation of adviser charges

Where investors request an adviser charge to be facilitated, such investors will be due an entitlement from the Company of an amount equal to the amount to be facilitated from which such adviser charge will be paid on behalf of the investor. HMRC's position on rebates out of sums paid by investors on subscribing for their shares for the purposes of facilitating adviser charges is that these do not form part of the cost of the shares for tax purposes. Since Qualifying Investors in VCTs are exempt from capital gains tax, this should not have any adverse tax effect on a capital disposal of shares. However, a repurchase of shares from an investor by a VCT may be taxed as a distribution and, as such, may be subject to income tax on the difference between the cost of the shares (which, in light of the adviser charge being disregarded, would be lower than the price at which they were subscribed) and the price at which they are bought back. Consequently, any income tax liability may be greater than where no adviser charge had been facilitated as a result of the investor being treated as having subscribed a lesser amount for their shares.

(c) Acquisition and disposal of shares in the same VCT

The disposal of existing shares in a VCT within six months before or after subscription for new shares in the same VCT (or otherwise where the disposal and subscription is linked) will result in the amount of the investment in the new shares in the VCT to which VCT tax reliefs are available being reduced by an amount equal to the proceeds received on the disposal.

(d) Loss of VCT approval

For a company to be fully approved as a VCT, it must meet the various requirements as set out in VCT Qualifying Conditions below.

If a company which has been granted approval as a VCT subsequently fails to comply with the conditions for approval, approval as a VCT may be withdrawn. In these circumstances, relief from income tax on the initial investment is repayable unless loss of approval occurs more than five years after the issue of the relevant VCT shares. In addition, income tax relief ceases to be available on any dividend paid in any accounting period ending when VCT status has been lost and any gains on the VCT shares up to the date from which loss of VCT status is treated as taking effect will be exempt, but gains thereafter will be taxable.

2. Illustration of effect of tax relief for Qualifying Investors

The table below has been prepared for illustrative purposes only and does not form part of the summary of the tax reliefs contained in this section. The table shows how the initial tax reliefs available can reduce the effective cost of an investment of £10,000 in a VCT by a Qualifying Investor subscribing for VCT shares to only £7,000:

	Effective Cost	Tax Relief
Investors unable to claim any tax reliefs	£10,000	Nil
Qualifying Investor (higher rate tax payer) able to claim full 30%* income tax relief	£7,000	£3,000

The combined effect of the initial income tax relief, tax-free dividends and tax-free capital growth can substantially improve the net returns of an investor in a VCT.

* This is expected to reduce to 20% for subscriptions in VCT shares on and from 6 April 2026, as announced in the 2025 Autumn Budget.

3. Obtaining tax reliefs

The Company will provide to each Qualifying Investor a certificate which Qualifying Investors may use to claim income tax relief, either by obtaining from HMRC an adjustment to their tax coding under the PAYE system or by waiting until the end of the tax year and claiming relief in their tax return.

4. Investors not resident in the UK

Investors not resident in the UK should seek their own professional advice as to the consequences of making an investment in a VCT as they may be subject to tax in other jurisdictions as well as in the UK.

VCT Qualifying Conditions

1. Qualification as a VCT

To qualify as a VCT, a company must be approved as such by HMRC. To obtain such approval it must:

• (a) not be a close company;
• (b) have each class of its ordinary share capital listed on a regulated market;
• (c) derive its income wholly or mainly from shares or securities;
• (d) have at least 80% (70% for accounting periods starting before 6 April 2019) by VCT Value of its investments in shares and securities in Qualifying Investments, 70% of which must be in eligible shares (30% in respect of investments made on or before 5 April 2018 from funds raised before 6 April 2011);
• (e) have at least 10% by VCT Value of each Qualifying Investment in eligible shares;
• (f) not have more than 15% by VCT Value of its investments by VCT Value (including cash), at the time of making an investment, in a single company or group (other than a VCT or a company which would, if its shares were listed, qualify as a VCT);
• (g) not retain more than 15% of its income derived from shares and securities in any accounting period;
• (h) not make any non-Qualifying Investment other than those specified in section 274 of ITA 2007;
• (i) not, in respect of any share capital created on or after 6 April 2014, and any reserves created from the cancellation thereof, make any payment out of such share capital and reserves to shareholders within three years from the end of the accounting period in which that share capital was created;
• (j) not invest in a company or group which causes the company or group to receive more than £5 million (£10 million for 'knowledge intensive' companies) of state-aided investment in the 12 months ended on the date of that investment (these limits are expected to increase to £10 million (£20 million for 'knowledge intensive' companies) on and from 6 April 2026, as announced in the 2025 Autumn Budget*);

• (k) not invest in a company or group which causes that company or group to receive more than £12 million (£20 million for 'knowledge intensive' companies) of state‑aided investment during its lifetime (these limits are expected to increase to £24 million (£40 million for 'knowledge intensive' companies) on and from 6 April 2026, as announced in the 2025 Autumn Budget*);

• (l) invest in companies where the first state-aided investment was within seven years of the first commercial sale in respect of the relevant trade (in respect of 'knowledge intensive' companies such period being ten years from the first commercial sale or, if the company so elects, ten years from the end of the accounting period in which the company's revenues were greater than £200,000), save for in certain limited circumstances where the funds are to be used in connection with a new product or geographical market;

• (m) not permit the use of VCT funding by a company to acquire shares in another company, another business or trade or provide a return of capital to existing shareholders of that company; and
• (n) invest at least 30% of funds raised in an accounting period beginning on or after 6 April 2018 in Qualifying Investments within 12 months after the end of that accounting period.

Conditions (j) to (l) do not apply to investments in shares listed on a recognised stock exchange or to certain investment funds/vehicles.

* This increase applies only to qualifying companies that are not registered in Northern Ireland trading in goods or the generation, transmission, distribution, supply, wholesale trade or cross-border exchange of electricity. Qualifying companies that are not entitled to use the extended limits will remain eligible for the current scheme limits.

2. Qualifying Investments

A Qualifying Investment consists of shares or securities first issued to the VCT (and held by it ever since) by a company, in each case satisfying the conditions set out in Chapters 3 and 4 of Part 6 of ITA 2007.

In relation to shares and securities:

• (a) for the purpose of paragraphs 1(d) and (e) above, to be 'eligible shares', the shares issued to the VCT must carry no preferential rights on a winding up and no rights to be redeemed (although they may have certain preferential non-cumulative rights to dividends, provided these are not discretionary); and
• (b) any loan made by the VCT must have a maturity period greater than five years, must not be guaranteed and, in respect of loans made from 15 March 2018, may not be secured and must provide no more than a commercial rate of return on the principal.

Offer for subscription 6 January 2026

VCT Qualifying Conditions

2. Qualifying Investments

The conditions relating to the investee company are detailed, but include the investee company:

• (i) having a permanent establishment in the UK (but the company need not be UK resident);
• (ii) being unquoted (for VCT purposes companies whose shares are traded on the Aquis and AIM markets are considered to be unquoted, whilst shares in an unquoted company that subsequently becomes listed may still be regarded as a Qualifying Investment for a further five years following listing, provided all other conditions are met);
• (iii) carrying on a qualifying trade (for this purpose certain activities are excluded, such as dealing in land or shares or providing financial services);
• (iv) carrying on, or intending to carry on, the relevant trade (whether itself or by a qualifying subsidiary) at the time of the issue of shares or securities to the VCT (and at all times thereafter);
• (v) having no subsidiaries other than qualifying subsidiaries which must, in most cases, be at least 51% owned;
• (vi) commencing to trade within two years of the issue of shares or securities to the VCT and continuing to trade thereafter;
• (vii) not existing for a disqualifying purpose (e.g. for the purpose of accessing tax reliefs or if in substance it is a financing business);
• (viii) having objectives to grow and develop over the long term (both generally and as referred to in the risk to capital condition referred to below);
• (ix) having gross assets not exceeding £15 million immediately before and £16 million immediately after the investment (this limit is expected to increase to £30 million immediately before and £35 million immediately after the investment on and from 6 April 2026, as announced in the 2025 Autumn Budget*);
• (x) applying the money raised for the purposes of a qualifying trade within certain time periods;
• (xi) not being controlled by another company;
• (xii) having fewer than 250 full-time (or full-time equivalent) employees (500 in the case of 'knowledge intensive' companies) at the time of the investment; and
• (xiii) meeting the conditions set out in paragraphs 1(j) to (m) above.

In addition, from 15 March 2018 there is a principles-based gateway test (the 'risk to capital' condition) which requires (i) the investee company having objectives to grow and develop over the long term and (ii) the investment to carry a significant risk of losing more capital than the net return (including any tax relief).

* This increase applies only to qualifying companies that are not registered in Northern Ireland trading in goods or the generation, transmission, distribution, supply, wholesale trade or cross-border exchange of electricity. Qualifying companies that are not entitled to use the extended limits will remain eligible for the current scheme limits.

3. Approval as a VCT

A VCT must be approved at all times by HMRC. Approval has effect from the time specified in the approval.

A VCT cannot be approved unless the tests detailed above are met throughout the most recent complete accounting period of the VCT and HMRC is satisfied that they will be met in relation to the accounting period of the VCT which is current when the application is made. However, where a VCT raises further funds, VCTs are given grace periods to invest those funds before such further funds become subject to the tests.

The Company has obtained approval as a VCT from HMRC.

4. Withdrawal of approval

Approval of a VCT (full or provisional) may be withdrawn by HMRC if the various tests set out above are not satisfied. The exemption from corporation tax on capital gains will not apply to any gain realised after the point at which VCT status is lost.

Withdrawal of approval generally has effect from the time when notice is given to the VCT but, in relation to capital gains of the VCT only, can be backdated to not earlier than the first day of the accounting period commencing immediately after the last accounting period of the VCT in which all of the tests were satisfied.

5. Taxation of a VCT

VCTs are exempt from corporation tax on chargeable gains. A VCT will be subject to corporation tax on its income (excluding dividends received from UK companies) after deduction of allowable expenses.

The above is only a summary of the conditions to be satisfied for a company to be treated as a VCT.

The following terms and conditions of Application apply to the Offer.

Save where the context otherwise requires, words and expressions defined in this document have the same meanings when used in these terms and conditions, the Application Procedures and the Application Form. Words importing one gender (where appropriate) include any other gender and words importing the singular shall (where appropriate) include the plural and vice versa.

The Application Procedures and the Application Form (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any revised or additional Application Form(s) made available by the Company in connection with the Offer) form part of these terms and conditions of Application.

• 1. The maximum amount to be raised under the Offer is £40 million. The maximum number of Offer Shares to be issued pursuant to the Offer is 100 million Offer Shares. The Offer will open for Applications at 9.00 a.m. on 14 January 2026 and will close for Applications at 12.00 noon on 30 March 2026 (or, if earlier, as soon as the Offer is fully subscribed or otherwise at the Board's discretion). Receipt of any Application (whether completed online or delivered by hand, post or email) prior to the opening time and date will be deemed to be 9.00 a.m. on 14 January 2026. The Board reserves the right to extend the Offer but not longer than 12 months following publication of the Prospectus. If the Board decides (in consultation with the Manager) to extend the Offer this will be advised through a RIS Announcement as soon as reasonably practicable.
• 1. The contract created by the acceptance of Applications in the manner herein set out will, unless otherwise so resolved by the Board, be conditional upon the Admission of the Offer Shares to the Official List of the FCA and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities. If any Application is not accepted or if any Application is accepted for a lower amount than applied for, or if there is a surplus of funds from the Application amount, the Application monies or, as the case may be, the balance thereof will (save where the amount is less than £1, in which case the Applicant authorises such amount be paid to the Company and used for its own purpose) be returned (without interest) at the risk of the person(s) entitled thereto by (i) crossed cheque through the post or (ii) by bank transfer to the same bank account from which the monies were received as identified on the Application Form. In the meantime, Application monies will be retained by the Receiving Agent in a separate account.
• 1. The Company reserves the right to present all cheques and banker's drafts for payment on receipt and to retain documents of title and, if relevant, surplus Application monies pending clearance of the successful Applicants' cheques, banker's drafts and transfers.

• (c) agree that (save as provided in paragraph 5 below) your cheque or banker's draft will be presented for payment on receipt, warrant that it will be honoured on first presentation and further agree that, if it is not so honoured, (i) you will not be entitled to receive documents of title in respect of the Offer Shares (nor shall your financial intermediary be entitled to any facilitation of any initial adviser charges or payment of initial commission) or to enjoy or receive any rights or distributions in respect of such Offer Shares unless and until you make payment in cleared funds for such Offer Shares and such payment is accepted by the Company (which acceptance shall be in its absolute discretion and may be on the basis that you indemnify it and the Receiving Agent against all costs, damages, losses, expenses and liabilities arising out of or in connection with the failure of your remittance to be honoured on first presentation) and (ii) that any documents of title, any Application monies returnable and any monies payable to your financial intermediary may

be retained pending clearance (and that such monies will not bear interest) and that at any time prior to unconditional acceptance by the Company of such late payment in respect of such Offer Shares, the Company may (without prejudice to its other rights), avoid the agreement to allot such Offer Shares and avoid the facilitation of any initial adviser charges or payment of initial commission and may allot such Offer Shares to some other person (in which case you will not be entitled to any payment in respect of such Offer Shares, other than the refund of such late payment (together with any other Application monies returnable) at the risk of the person(s) entitled thereto by (1) crossed cheque through the post or (2) by bank transfer to the same bank account from which the monies were received as identified on the Application Form);

• (d) agree that any Application monies, together with other monies received from other Applicants, will be held by the Receiving Agent in a client account operated by the Receiving Agent in accordance with CASS 7 of the FCA Rules for the purposes of (i) the payment of the Offer price in respect of Offer Shares for which your Application is accepted (which may not take place until several weeks after cleared funds have been received) and/or (ii) the return to you in circumstances where such payment(s) as referred to in (i) are not made. In all circumstances, you acknowledge that any interest earned on such monies will be paid to the Receiving Agent and used for its own purposes;
• (e) agree that any monies refundable may be retained by the Receiving Agent pending clearance of your remittance and any verification of identity which is, or which the Company and/or the Receiving Agent may consider to be, required in relation to you or any third party payee for the purposes of the Money Laundering Regulations;

• (g) authorise the Company's Registrars to, as relevant, send (at your risk) definitive documents of title for the number of Offer Shares for which your Application is accepted or procure that such Offer Shares are issued in uncertificated form where requested on the Application Form (and further to procure that your name or, where relevant, your nominee where requested on the Application Form, is placed on the register of members of the Company in respect of such Offer Shares);

• (h) authorise the Receiving Agent to send any monies returnable at the risk of the person(s) entitled thereto by way of a crossed cheque by post to your address as set out in your Application Form or bank transfer to the same bank account from which the monies were received as identified on the Application Form;
• (i) agree that all Applications, acceptances of Applications, instructions to facilitate any initial adviser charges, payments of initial commission and contracts resulting therefrom shall be governed by and construed in all respects in accordance with English law and that you submit to the jurisdiction of the English courts and agree that nothing shall limit the right of the Company to bring any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or in connection with any such Applications, acceptances of Applications, instructions to facilitate any adviser charges, any payments of initial commission and contracts in any other manner permitted by law or in any court of competent jurisdiction;
• (j) irrevocably authorise the Receiving Agent and/or the Registrar and/or the Company or any person authorised by any of them, as your agent, to do all things necessary to effect registration of any Offer Shares subscribed by or issued to you into your name (or, where relevant, the name of your nominee where requested on the Application Form) and authorise any representative of the Receiving Agent, the Registrar or the Company to execute any document required therefor;

• (k) agree and acknowledge that, having had the opportunity to read the Prospectus, the statements on the Application Form, the Key Information Document and any supplementary prospectus issued by the Company and filed with the FCA, you are making your Application solely on the basis of the information and statements concerning the Company and the Offer Shares contained in such documents and the latest publicly available financial information and RIS Announcements of the Company, all of which you are deemed to have received and read (whether or not so read);

• (l) confirm that in making such Application you are not relying on any information or representation in relation to the Company other than those contained in the Prospectus, the Key Information Document and any supplementary prospectus issued by the Company and filed with the FCA and you agree that no person responsible solely or jointly for such documents or any part thereof or involved in the preparation thereof shall have any liability for any such information or representation relating to the Company, the Offer Shares or for any change in the law or regulations affecting VCTs;

• (m) confirm and warrant that the information provided on the Application Form is true and accurate, that you have personally signed (or, as applicable, inserted your electronic signature or inserted your name in the signature box on) the Application Form, confirm any instructions thereon in relation to the facilitation of an initial adviser charge and irrevocably authorise the Company (as required) to make such payments from your investor entitlement referred to in paragraph 14 below;

• (p) warrant that you are an individual aged 18 or over;

• (q) declare that a loan has not been made to you or any associate, which would not have been made, or not have been made on the same terms, but for you offering to subscribe for, or acquiring, Offer Shares and that the Offer Shares are being acquired for bona fide commercial purposes and not as part of a scheme of arrangement the main purpose of which, or one of the main purposes of which, is the avoidance of tax;

• (r) warrant that, if you sign the Application Form on behalf of somebody else, you have due authority to do so on behalf of that other person, and such person will also be bound accordingly and will be deemed also to have given the confirmations, warranties, undertakings and authority contained herein and undertake to enclose (where requested) your power of attorney or other authority (or a copy thereof duly certified by a solicitor or bank) with the Application Form;
• (s) acknowledge that the Receiving Agent and the Manager are acting solely for the Company and no one else and will not be responsible to anyone other than the Company for providing any advice in relation to the Offer and will not treat you (or, where relevant, your nominee) as its customer (and further agree that none of the Receiving Agent and the Manager will regard you as its customer by virtue of you having made an Application for Offer Shares or by virtue of such Application being accepted);
• (t) acknowledge that the information provided in connection with your Application will be provided to the Manager, its delegates and the Registrars to process Applications and shareholding details and send notifications to you;
• (u) authorise the Company and the Manager (and their delegates and agents) to provide information as provided by you or to you in connection with your Application to your financial intermediary detailed on your Application Form;

frequently where agreed and (iii) you also authorise the Company and the Manager (and their delegates and agents) to accept instructions relating to your investment in the Company and changes to your personal details as provided by such financial intermediary (subject to such evidence and/or verification as the Company and/or the Manager and/or their delegates and agents may request);

• (w) acknowledge that the Receiving Agent and/or the Manager and/or the Company (or their delegates and agents) may, if necessary, disclose information to HMRC and the IRS to satisfy their FATCA or CRS obligations or to other regulatory bodies if required, or considered obliged, to do so in accordance with any statute or regulation or by governmental, judicial and law enforcement bodies; and
• (x) agree that these confirmations, warranties, undertakings and authorities are made and given to the Company, the Manager and the Receiving Agent.
• 1. The Company reserves the absolute right to inspect (either itself, through the Manager and/or the Receiving Agent or through other agents) all Application Forms, and may consider void and reject any Application Form that does not in the sole judgement of the Company satisfy the terms and conditions of the Offer. If an Application Form is not completed or in the Company's determination (in its absolute discretion) has not been validly completed, provided that the Application Form is otherwise in order and is accompanied by the appropriate Application monies, the Application may be accepted as a valid Application in whole or in part at the Company's discretion. Applications will not (unless otherwise agreed by the Company) be regarded as valid unless cleared funds are received in respect of the Application.

The right is also reserved to treat as valid any application for Offer Shares not complying fully with these terms and conditions of Application, or not in all respects complying with the Application Procedures. In particular, but without limitation, the Company may accept Applications made otherwise than by completion of an Application Form where the Applicant has agreed in some other manner to apply in accordance with, and be bound by, these terms and conditions and may, at its discretion, accept an Application and issue Offer Shares in respect of which payment is not received or cleared by the relevant allotment date and/or the closing date of the Offer.

• 1. No action has been or will be taken in any jurisdiction by, or on behalf of, the Company which would permit a public offer of the Offer Shares in any jurisdiction other than in the UK, nor has any such action been taken with respect to the possession or distribution of the Prospectus other than in the UK. No person receiving a copy of the Prospectus, any supplementary prospectus issued by the Company, the Key Information Document or an Application Form in any territory other than the UK may treat the same as constituting an invitation or offer to them nor should they in any event use such Application Form unless, in the relevant territory, such an invitation or offer could lawfully be made to them or such Application Form could lawfully be used without contravention of any regulation or other legal requirements.
• It is the responsibility of any person outside the UK wishing to make an Application to satisfy themselves as to full observance of the laws of any relevant territory in connection therewith, including obtaining any requisite governmental or other consents, observing any other formalities requiring to be observed in such territory and paying any issue, transfer or other taxes required to be paid in such territory.
• 1. The Offer Shares have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States. In addition, the Company has not been and will not be registered under the United States Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is not and will not be registered under the United States Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. No subscription will be accepted if it bears an address in the United States.
• 1. The basis of allocation will be determined by the Company (after consultation with the Manager and the Receiving Agent) in its absolute discretion. Applications will normally be accepted on a first come, first served basis, subject always to the discretion of the Board. For these purposes 'first come, first served' shall be assessed based on the date and time of receipt of a fully completed Application (i.e. all mandatory fields on the Application Form completed), subject to receipt of Application monies (in full, including those making multiple payments) in cleared funds within three Business Days thereafter (or, if earlier, before the Offer deadline or close of the Offer) to retain the Applicant's position of priority. If Application monies are not received within such time, the relevant date and time shall be when the Applicant's actual Application monies (in full) are received in cleared funds. Post-dated cheques will not be accepted. An Application may not be considered as 'complete' until identity verification is completed and/or, where relevant, information or supporting evidence required for the Application remains outstanding.

The right is reserved, notwithstanding the basis so determined, to reject in whole or in part and/or scale down any Application, in particular multiple and suspected multiple Applications which may otherwise be accepted.

1. It is expected that dealings in the Offer Shares will commence three Business Days following allotment and that share certificates will be dispatched within ten Business Days of the allotment of the Offer Shares. Allotments will be announced through a RIS Announcement.

Dealing may commence before such notification. Temporary documents of title will not be issued. Dealings prior to the issue of certificates, if applicable, for Offer Shares will be at the risk of Applicants. A person so dealing must recognise the risk that an Application may not have been accepted to the extent anticipated or at all. The Offer cannot be withdrawn after dealings in the Offer Shares issued from time to time under the Offer have commenced.

The Offer is not underwritten. The allotment of Offer Shares will be subject to having the requisite authorities from Shareholders from time to time. The Offer may be withdrawn (in whole or part) at the discretion of the Board. The Offer will also be suspended if at any time the Company is prohibited by statute or other regulations from issuing Offer Shares or to the extent that the Company has insufficient Shareholder authority to issue Offer Shares.

• 1. Existing shareholders in the Foresight VCTs will receive the Existing Foresight Shareholder Loyalty Discount (subject to the discretion of the Manager) as described on page 53 of the Prospectus. The determination as to whether an Applicant is such an existing shareholder will be at the Manager's discretion and, whilst the Manager in its capacity as promoter of the Offer shall be entitled to request additional supporting information to confirm eligibility, it and the Company shall be entitled to rely on the Applicant's confirmation on the Application Form. The Manager may agree to offer discounts to any particular investor or group of investors. Any discounts will be expressed, for the purposes of calculating a bespoke issue price to an Applicant as described in the Pricing Formula, as a percentage of the Application amount to two decimal places.
• 1. Financial intermediaries who, acting on behalf of their clients where those clients are Execution-Only Investors or Professional Client Investors, return valid Application Forms bearing their FCA number will normally be paid 3% commission on the amount payable in respect of the Offer Shares allotted for each such Application Form.

Initial commission will only be paid to the extent permitted under legislation and regulations, and following the allotment of Offer Shares to the authorised financial intermediary's client. The Receiving Agent will collate the Application Forms bearing the financial intermediaries' FCA number and calculate the initial commission payable which will be paid within one month of the allotment.

Financial intermediaries may agree to waive initial commission in respect of an Application. If this is the case then the amount of commission taken into account in calculating an Applicant's bespoke Offer price for Offer Shares under the Pricing Formula will be reduced to the extent that such commission has been waived, thereby increasing the number of Offer Shares to be issued to the Applicant under the Offer.

• 1. Applicants and financial intermediaries should note that no annual trail commission will be paid in respect of this Offer.
• 1. In respect of existing trail commission arrangements to financial intermediaries, such payments will continue (to the extent permitted under legislation and regulations), but not if subsequent financial advice in respect of the holding is given. As a result, should a Shareholder decide to seek financial advice from their existing execution-only financial intermediary in respect of participating in the Offer, any trail commission which is currently being paid to that financial intermediary in respect of an existing holding in the Company must cease and the Company and/or the Manager should be notified accordingly (though the Company also reserves the right to cease payments if it believes advice may have been given or for any other reason in its absolute discretion).
• 1. Where Application Forms are returned by an Applicant or on their behalf by a financial intermediary who has given a personal recommendation in respect of the Applicant's Application having first categorised the Applicant as a Retail Client Investor, the Company can facilitate the payment of any up-front adviser charges (in whole or part) agreed between the Applicant and their financial intermediary. Ongoing adviser charges will need to be settled directly by the Applicant.

The maximum amount that will be facilitated in respect of up-front adviser charges is an amount equal to 4.5% of the investment. The amount will be facilitated from a commission payment to the Applicant from the Company's share premium account (or reserves created therefrom) attributable to Shares issued prior to 1 January 2022. Any adviser charges agreed in excess of this amount will need to be settled by the Applicant directly to their financial intermediary. Up-front adviser charges will only be paid following the allotment of Offer Shares to the authorised financial intermediary's client.

For the avoidance of doubt, any adviser charge facilitated to a financial intermediary will be expressed, for the purposes of calculating a bespoke issue price to an Applicant as described in the Pricing Formula, as a percentage of the Application amount to two decimal places. This will not, however, affect the amount of adviser charge facilitated to a financial intermediary.

If the initial adviser charge agreed between the Applicant and the financial intermediary is greater than the maximum amount agreed to be facilitated by the Company, then the Applicant will need to make such additional payment direct to their financial intermediary. The charging of VAT on an initial adviser charge is the sole responsibility of the financial intermediary. Should the payment of any facilitated initial adviser charge undertaken by the Receiving Agent (on behalf of the Company) exclude the payment of any such VAT, the Applicant will, at all times, remain solely responsible to make up such VAT deficit (if any) to their financial intermediary.

If the investor and financial intermediary agree that an initial charge is to be facilitated by the Receiving Agent, the Application Form must be countersigned by the financial intermediary to confirm that (i) the facilitation amount has been agreed and (ii) the financial intermediary has read and agrees to be bound by these terms and conditions of Application.

The maximum amount of up-front adviser charges stated above that will be facilitated should not be taken as a recommendation or guide as to the level of appropriate adviser charges.

1. The Application Form(s) form part of these terms and conditions.

The Company reserves the right to publish revised Application Forms from time to time. Applicants and the financial intermediaries should, therefore, check when completing an Application Form that no subsequent version has been published or made available by the Company (which will be downloadable from 9.00 a.m. on 14 January 2026 via the Company's website: www.foresightenterprisevct.com).

The Company further reserves the right to provide editable PDF Application Forms or an Application Form that can be completed online or via a portal. Such Application Forms must either include an electronic signature for the Applicant (and, if relevant, the financial intermediary) or have the Applicant's name (and, if relevant, the financial intermediary's name) stated in full within a signature box. The submission of such Application Form by (or on behalf of) an Applicant (and, if relevant, the financial intermediary) shall constitute confirmation by the Applicant (and, if relevant, the financial intermediary) of agreement to these terms and conditions of Application (and any additional terms and conditions stated on such PDF Application Forms or online process).

The Company reserves the right to make the Offer available via one or more investment platforms (subject to information being received in respect of any Applicant and the intended underlying beneficial holder of Offer Shares as may be requested by or on behalf of the Company and subject to paragraph 5 above).

• 1. The Company, the Manager and the Receiving Agent respect an Applicant's privacy and are committed to protecting their personal information. If an Applicant would like to find out more about how the Company, the Manager and the Receiving Agent use and look after personal information, please refer to their privacy notices, which can be found at:
• ș The Company/the Manager: https://www.foresight.group/privacy-policy/
• ș Woodside Corporate Services Limited: https://woodsidecorporateservices.co.uk/ WCSL_Privacy-Policy.pdf

You have certain rights in relation to your personal information, including the right to receive a copy of the information that is held about you. For more details, please see the privacy notice referred to above.

1. The Company may, in its absolute discretion, make non-material amendments to these terms and conditions of Application without giving notice to Applicants.

Application Procedures

Application Forms

Application Forms can be downloaded from 9.00 a.m. on 14 January 2026 via the Company's website:

www.foresightenterprisevct.com

Lodging of Application Forms

The easiest way to submit an Application is via the Manager's online portal for advisers at:

portal.foresightgroup.eu/LoginPortal

Alternatively, Applications can be submitted electronically at the following email address:

applications@foresightgroup.eu

Completed Application Forms with the appropriate remittance may also be posted or delivered by hand (unless agreed otherwise) on a Business Day between 9.00 a.m. and 5.30 p.m. to:

Woodside Corporate Services Limited, Foresight Enterprise VCT Share Offer, First Floor, 12-14 Mason's Avenue, London EC2V 5BT

The Offer will open for Applications at 9.00 a.m. on 14 January 2026 and will close for Applications at 12.00 noon on 30 March 2026 (or, if earlier, as soon as the Offer is fully subscribed or otherwise at the Board's discretion). The Board reserves the right to extend the Offer but not longer than 12 months following publication of the Prospectus.

Please note that, in light of the forthcoming reduction to the rate of upfront income tax relief, as announced in the 2025 Autumn Budget, and based on fundraising levels in previous years, capacity is expected to fill quickly so the quickest way to secure a place is to submit an application via the portal for advisers.

If you post your Application Form, you are recommended to use first class post and to allow at least two Business Days for delivery. Applications submitted (in particular with a cheque) should allow for a further seven working days for their funds to clear (in particular in relation to ensuring the Receiving Agent is in receipt of cleared funds prior to 12.00 noon on 30 March 2026).

If you do not receive an acknowledgement of your Application within ten Business Days of sending your Application to the Receiving Agent, please contact the Manager.

Applications under the Offer will normally be accepted on a first come, first served basis, subject always to the discretion of the Board. For these purposes 'first come, first served' shall be assessed based on the date and time of receipt of a fully completed Application (i.e. all mandatory fields on the Application Form completed), subject to receipt of Application monies (in full, including those making multiple payments) in cleared funds within three Business Days thereafter (or, if earlier, before the Offer deadline or close of the Offer) to retain the Applicant's position of priority. If Application monies are not received within such time, the relevant date and time shall be when the Applicant's actual Application monies (in full) are received in cleared funds. Post-dated cheques will not be accepted. An Application may not be considered as 'complete' until identity verification is completed and/or, where relevant, information or supporting evidence required for the Application remains outstanding.

To the extent that an Application is not accepted (in full or part) any excess payment in excess of £1 will be returned without interest at the risk of the person(s) entitled thereto by way of a bank transfer to the same bank account from which the monies were received as identified on the Application Form.

Financial intermediaries are requested to ensure that application forms are reviewed for completeness prior to submission.

To fill out the Application Form:

Before making any Application to acquire Offer Shares you are strongly recommended to consult a financial intermediary authorised under the FSMA.

Please use block capitals and blue/black ink.

Section 1: Personal Information

Insert your full name, address and other personal details. Telephone numbers will only be used in case of a query with regard to your Application and to associate your Application with your payment via the payment reference request.

You must be the intended beneficial owner of the Offer Shares (please do not use a nominee name as this may jeopardise your entitlement to VCT tax reliefs). If you would like your Offer Shares to be issued directly to a nominee and/or into CREST, please also complete Section 2.

Please tick the relevant box in this section if you are an existing shareholder in one or more of the Foresight VCTs. This information will be used to apply the Existing Foresight Shareholder Loyalty Discount (subject to the discretion of the Manager). If you are a beneficial shareholder you may be asked for additional supporting information for confirmation.

The Registrar will use your personal details to identify whether you are an existing Shareholder and, where identifiable, add your new Offer Shares to your existing holding account. Please take care that your title, name and address exactly match those shown on your existing Share certificate(s)/holding account. This should help prevent your new shareholding being opened in a separate, duplicate account on the register of members of the Company. Again, if you are a beneficial shareholder you may be asked for additional supporting information for confirmation.

We are legally required to collect information about the tax residency and classifications of Shareholders which may be shared with HMRC.

Application Procedures

Section 2: Nominee/CREST Details

If you would like your Offer Shares to be issued directly in the name of your nominee and/or issued into CREST, please complete the relevant details in Section 2. Please note that if the details are not accurate and/or cannot be verified, Offer Shares will be issued in your name in certificated form.

Please ensure that you validate the CREST Participant ID and CREST Member ID with your nominee and provide the nominee contact details.

Section 3: Subscription

Insert (in figures) the total amount you wish to invest. Your Application must be for a minimum of £5,000.

You can provide your Application monies either by cheque/ banker's draft or via a bank transfer. Please tick the relevant box in Section 3 to confirm the method of payment. Payment should, save as set out below, be made from an account in the sole or joint name of the Applicant. No receipt for payment will be issued.

If you are paying by cheque please make it payable to 'WCSL F ENTERPRISE VCT CLIENT ACC' Cheques must be honoured on first presentation. A separate cheque must accompany each Application. The cheque or banker's draft must be drawn in sterling on an account at a bank branch or building society in the UK and bear a bank sort code number in the top right hand corner.

If you are making payment via a bank transfer, please see bank transfer details on page 101 of the Prospectus. Please also reference bank transfers with your initials, surname and postcode (enter with no gaps).

Please tick the relevant box to confirm that the payment is being made from an account in your name. Where payment may be made from another individual's account, please tick the relevant box and confirm who this is, and what their relationship is to you, and provide their details in Section 3. Please also note that the identity of any third party payee will also need to be verified (please see the Money Laundering Notice below).

Application monies from a corporate account will not, unless otherwise agreed, be accepted.

Please also confirm the source of your funds for this intended investment.

Section 4: Communication Preferences

The Company would like to communicate with you electronically in respect of your shareholding in the Company. This means that you will receive notifications by email (where you have provided an email address) that information and/or documents published by the Company are available on the Company's website. If no email address is provided then the Company will make notifications by way of letter. This will apply unless you elect to receive hard copy documents by post.

Please tick the relevant box in Section 4 accordingly (and ensure that your email address is provided in Section 1 to help process your election for email notification if so selected). You have the right to opt out of electronic communications at any time by contacting the Registrar. If you would like to add a designated contact to your account who can obtain information about your holding on your behalf (other than your financial intermediary) please also complete their details in this section.

Section 5: Dividend Preference

Please complete this section even if you are an existing Shareholder and have previously provided a mandate.

Where you have requested that your Offer Shares be issued to a nominee, please do not complete this Section 5 and note further below.

You must elect to either have your dividends paid out by the Company (see Section 5A) or re-invested under the Company's dividend reinvestment scheme (see Section 5B). Please select only one option.

Where your Offer Shares are added to an existing holding account, this instruction will (unless your existing holding is in CREST) be applied to your aggregated holding (i.e. both the existing Shares and the new Offer Shares) irrespective of any previous dividend payment instructions.

Section 5A – to be completed only where dividends are to be paid out

If you are a new investor and wish to have your dividends paid out, please tick the box in Section 5A.

If you are an existing Shareholder who does not participate in the dividend reinvestment scheme, please tick the box in Section 5A. If you do not tick the box in Section 5A and have not ticked the box in Section 5B, your original election to have your dividends paid out will automatically extend to the new Offer Shares.

If you are an existing Shareholder who has previously elected to participate in the dividend reinvestment scheme and would like to withdraw from the dividend reinvestment scheme (for the avoidance of doubt, in respect of all Shares, both Offer Shares and existing Shares), please tick the box in Section 5A.

Application Procedures

Section 5: Dividend Preference

Section 5A – to be completed only where dividends are to be paid out

This withdrawal election (which will apply only if your Application is accepted and following the allotment of Offer Shares to you and subject to any notice periods required under the terms of the dividend reinvestment scheme) will apply to all Shares held in the existing holding account to which your Offer Shares are added. If you hold multiple holdings under different holding accounts, please provide all holding accounts you wish the withdrawal election to apply to.

Please note that the Company only pays dividends by way of bank transfers into nominated bank accounts. Your nominated bank details must, therefore, be included in Section 5A. If this information is not provided there may be a delay in the payment of dividends to you.

Section 5B – to be completed only where dividends are to be reinvested

If you are a new investor and wish to have your dividends reinvested pursuant to the dividend reinvestment scheme, please tick the box in Section 5B.

If you are an existing Shareholder who has not previously elected to participate in the dividend reinvestment scheme, your election, by ticking the box in Section 5B, will apply to all Shares held in the existing holding account to which your new Offer Shares are added. If you hold multiple holdings under different holding accounts, please provide all holding accounts you wish to have included.

If you are an existing Shareholder who has previously elected to participate in the dividend reinvestment scheme and wish this mandate to continue in respect of your Offer Shares, please tick the box in Section 5B. If you do not tick the box in Section 5B and have not ticked the box in Section 5A, your original election to participate in the dividend reinvestment

scheme will automatically extend to the new Offer Shares.

Only registered holders may elect to participate in the scheme. If you have requested that your Offer Shares are to be issued to a nominee, the nominee will need to apply to participate in the dividend reinvestment scheme by completing a separate dividend reinvestment scheme mandate form. Your first dividend may still be paid by bank transfer to allow time to effect your participation in the dividend reinvestment scheme.

Please refer to the terms and conditions of the dividend reinvestment scheme which can be accessed via the Company's website: www.foresightenterprisevct.com. By ticking the box in Section 5B you agree to be bound by such terms and conditions.

Section 6: Direct or Financial Intermediary Applications

Please confirm in Section 6 whether your application is an advised investment through a financial intermediary, an advised investment through a financial intermediary where you have been treated as a Professional Client, an execution‑only investment through a financial intermediary or a direct investment by ticking the relevant box.

Section 7: Adviser Charges

Section 7 should be completed by advised Retail Client Investors only where facilitation of adviser charges is required.

If you have a financial intermediary who has made a personal recommendation in relation to your Application having classified you as a Retail Client Investor, and you would like the payment of your agreed up-front adviser's fee with your financial intermediary to be facilitated, please complete this section.

Please specify the amount of the initial up-front adviser charge agreed between you in relation to this product (the maximum amount which will be facilitated is 4.5% of the subscription amount). Any adviser charge in excess of the maximum amount will need to be settled directly to your adviser. For the avoidance of doubt, any adviser charge payable to a financial intermediary in connection with an Application for Offer Shares will be expressed, for the purposes of calculating a bespoke issue price to an investor under the Pricing Formula, as a percentage of the investment amount. This will not, however, affect the amount of adviser charge payable to a financial intermediary.

Ongoing adviser charges will need to be settled directly by the investor.

Section 8: Signature and Date

Please sign and date the form in Section 8 (noting the declarations/confirmation you give by signing the Application Form as stated below your signature).

Please complete the section below the signature box to confirm whether the Application Form has been signed by you or on your behalf. If the form is signed on behalf of an Applicant by an attorney or other agent, that person should state on the form the capacity in which they are signing and, if such person is not the Financial Intermediary who has completed Sections 9 to 13, the original power(s) of attorney or other authority (or a copy thereof duly certified by a solicitor on each page) must be enclosed for inspection and will be returned in due course.

Application Procedures

Sections 9 – 13: Financial Intermediary Sections

These sections are to be completed by your financial intermediary.

MONEY LAUNDERING NOTICE – IMPORTANT

The identity of the Applicant and, if Application monies are being provided by a third party, the identity of that third party payer, will need to be verified in accordance with the Money Laundering Regulations. The personal information that is provided on the Application Form in relation to an Applicant (and/or, if applicable, any such third party payer) will be used to verify their identity with a third party agency.

In addition, in relation to Applications made via a financial intermediary, the financial intermediary should complete verification of the Applicant and, by signing the Application Form, confirms this.

In some circumstances you (or such third party payer) may also be required to provide the following documents before your Application can be accepted:

• 1. a certified copy of either the passport or the driving licence of the Applicant (and third party payer if different); and
• 1. an original bank or building society statement or utility bill (no more than three months old), or recent tax bill, in the name of the Applicant (and third party payer if different).

Copies should be certified by a third party professional who is subject to professional conduct rules such as a lawyer, actuary or accountant who is a member of a recognised UK professional body or a director, officer or manager of a financial services business authorised and regulated by the FCA. Some post offices also provide a document certification service.

You may use email and a third party to certify the documents if a face to face meeting with a certifier is not possible. Please contact the Manager for further information regarding the email and third party validation process.

Alternatively, you may send 'wet signature' certified documentation to the Receiving Agent by post. If you submit original documents for review, they will be returned if requested and by post at your risk.

Further information may be requested by the Company, the Manager or the Receiving Agent at their discretion.

Please send the entire Application Form and cheque/ banker's draft (unless you have made the payment by electronic bank transfer) by post to the Receiving Agent using the following address:
