Sureserve Group Plc

The directors are pleased to note the proposed acquisition of Sureserve Group Plc.  The offer price represents a 40p premium to the 31st March 2023 share price which will increase NASCIT's net asset value by £8m (and approximately £10m including NASCIT's pro rata share of Oryx International Growth Fund Limited's own holding of Sureserve Group Plc shares).  On completion the sale will represent a profit of just over £16m since purchase.

At the end of March 2023 NASCIT's cash and cash equivalents balances amounted to circa £95m and the sale on completion will increase this to approximately £120m.
