SUMMARY

Summaries are made up of disclosure requirements known as "Elements". These Elements are numbered in Sections A to E. This summary contains all of the Elements required to be included in a summary for these type of securities and issuers. Because some of the Elements are not required to be addressed there may be gaps in the number sequence of the Elements. Even though an Element may be required to be inserted in this summary because of the type of securities and issuers, it is possible that no relevant information can be given regarding that Element. In these instances, a short description of the Element is included, together with an appropriate "Not applicable" statement.

B40 Service providers Maven Capital Partners UK LLP is the investment manager,
administrator and company secretary of each of the Companies.
Maven is paid the following fees in respect of its appointment as
investment manager, administrator and company secretary of each of
the Companies:
Maven VCT 3
The Manager is entitled to an annual investment management fee of
2.5% of the net asset value of Maven VCT 3 payable quarterly in
arrears (the fee being exclusive of VAT (if any)). With effect from 1
December 2017 the Manager will also be entitled to a performance
incentive fee, for each six month period ending 31 May and 30
November, of an amount equal to 15% of any increase in the total
return (before applying any performance incentive fee) as at the end
of the relevant six month period to the total return (after accruing for
the performance incentive fee payable for that period) compared to
the end of the last six month period on which a performance incentive
fee was paid. Payments in relation to any performance incentive fee
shall not exceed £890,000 in relation to any rolling twelve month
period ending on the date of the proposed payment. Total return for
these purposes means net asset value, adjusted for dividends, share
buybacks and share issues since the period in which the last
performance incentive fee was paid. The performance incentive fee
will be exclusive of VAT (if any).
The Manager is also entitled to an annual fee for the provision of
company
secretarial,
accounting
and
other
management
and
administrative services (which amounted to £89,000, including VAT,
for the year ended 30 November 2016). This fee is subject to annual
adjustment by reference to increases in the UK Retail Prices Index, is
payable quarterly in arrears and is subject to VAT.
The total management and administrative expenses of Maven VCT 3
are capped at 3.8% of the average net asset value for the relevant
financial period, adjusted annually and excluding performance fees,
and all regulatory, compliance and exceptional costs.
In addition, in order to ensure that the Manager's staff are
appropriately incentivised in relation to the management of the
portfolio, a co-investment scheme allows employees and officers of
the Manager to participate in new and follow-on investments in
portfolio companies alongside Maven VCT 3. All such investments
are made through a nominee and under terms agreed by the Maven
VCT 3 Board. The terms of the scheme ensure that all investments in
ordinary shares are made at the same time and on identical terms to
those of Maven VCT 3 and that no selection of investments will be
allowed. Total investment by participants in the co-investment
scheme is 8% of the aggregate amount of ordinary shares
subscribed for by Maven VCT 3 and the co-investment scheme
(excluding ordinary shares that only have an entitlement to a fixed
rate return), except where the only securities to be acquired by
Maven VCT 3 are ordinary shares or AIM quoted securities, in which
case the investment percentage will be 1.5%. With effect from 1
December 2017, the level of participation in the ordinary shares of
portfolio companies will decrease from 8% to 5% to take into account
the introduction of the new performance incentive fee arrangements
with the Manager. Notwithstanding the above, co-investment will only
be offered alongside the relevant investment if that co-investment
would not result in the aggregate of all co-investments made in the
relevant calendar year of the scheme exceeding 5% of Maven VCT
3's net assets.
The Manager also receives fees from investee companies for
arranging transactions, monitoring business progress and providing
non-executive directors for their boards.
Maven VCT 4
The Manager is entitled to an annual investment management fee of
2.5% of the net asset value of Maven VCT 4 payable quarterly in
arrears (the fee being exclusive of VAT (if any)). The Manager is also
entitled to a performance incentive fee for each six month period
ending 30 June and 31 December of an amount equal to 20% of any
increase in the total return (before applying any performance
incentive fee) as at the end of the relevant six month period to the
total return (after accruing for the performance incentive fee payable
for that period) compared to the end of the last six month period on
which a performance incentive fee was paid. Total return for these
purposes means net asset value, adjusted for dividends, share
buybacks and share issues since the period in which the last
performance incentive fee was paid. These fees are exclusive of VAT
(if any).
The Manager is also entitled to an annual fee for the provision of
company secretarial and administrative services (which amounted to
£78,000 including VAT for the year ended 31 December 2016). This
fee is subject to annual adjustment by reference to increases in the
UK Consumer Prices Index, is payable quarterly in arrears is subject
to VAT.
The total management and administrative expenses of Maven VCT 4
are capped at 3.5% of the net asset value at the end of the relevant
financial period (calculated before deduction of management and
administrative
expenses).
All
regulatory,
compliance
and
any
exceptional items such as merger or performance incentive fees in
respect of that financial year are excluded from the cap.
In addition, in order to ensure that the Manager's staff are
appropriately incentivised in relation to the management of the
portfolio, a co-investment scheme allows employees and officers of
the Manager to participate in new and follow-on investments in
portfolio companies alongside Maven VCT 4. All such investments
are made through a nominee and under terms agreed by the Maven
VCT 4 Board. The terms of the scheme ensure that all investments in
ordinary shares are made at the same time and on identical terms to
those of Maven VCT 4 and that no selection of investments will be
allowed. Total investment by participants in the co-investment
scheme is 5% of the aggregate amount of ordinary shares
subscribed for by Maven VCT 4 and the co-investment scheme,
except where the only securities to be acquired by Maven VCT 4 are
ordinary shares, or are securities quoted on AIM or NEX, in which
case the investment percentage will be 1.5%. Notwithstanding the
above, co-investment will only be offered alongside the relevant
investment if that co-investment would not result in the aggregate of
all co-investments made in the relevant calendar year of the scheme
exceeding 5% of Maven VCT 4's net assets.
The Manager also receives fees from investee companies for
arranging transactions, monitoring business progress and providing
non-executive directors for their boards.

D Risks
D1 Key information on
the key risks specific
to the issuer or its
industry
There can be no guarantee that the investment objectives of the
Companies
will
be
achieved
or
that
suitable
investment
opportunities will be available.
Investment
in
AIM/NEX
traded
companies
and
unquoted
companies, by its nature, involves a higher degree of risk than
investment in companies traded on the main market for listed
securities of the London Stock Exchange. The market for stock in
smaller companies is often less liquid than that for stock in larger
companies, bringing with it potential difficulties in acquiring, valuing
and disposing of such stock. The Companies' investments may be
difficult to realise.
Changes in legislation concerning VCTs may limit the number of
Qualifying Investment opportunities, reduce the level of returns
which would otherwise have been achievable or result in a
Company not being able to meet its investment objectives.
D3 Key information on
the key risks specific
to the securities
The value of an investment in a Company and the level of income
derived from it may go down as well as up. Shareholders may get
back less than the amount originally invested in a Company.
Shareholders should be aware that the sale of New Shares within
five years of their allotment will require the repayment of some or all
of the income tax relief obtained upon investment. Accordingly, an
investment in the Companies is not suitable as a short or medium
term investment.
Although each Company's existing Shares are already listed, and it
is intended that the New Shares will be listed on the premium
segment of the Official List and admitted to trading on the main
market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange, it is likely
that there will not be a liquid market in such New Shares (which
may be partly due up front tax relief not being available for VCT
shares bought in the market and as VCT shares generally trade at a
discount to their net asset value) and Shareholders may have
difficulty in selling their Shares as a result. Accordingly, admission
to the Official List and to trading on the main market for listed
securities of the London Stock Exchange should not be taken as
implying that there will be a liquid market for the Shares.
Shareholders may not be able to realise their investment at net
asset value or at all.
E Offer
E1 Offers' net proceeds
and expenses
On the assumption that each Offer is fully subscribed with the over
allotment facility fully utilised, all investors use an 'execution-only'
intermediary and the maximum amount of initial commission of
2.5% of the "Application Amount" (the Application Amount being the
amount remitted to the Company with an investor's application,
including any amount requested to be facilitated as an initial adviser
charge, as accepted under the relevant Offer) is payable to
'execution-only' intermediaries in respect of all investors (and
ignoring any early investment incentive discounts and excluding any
annual trail commission payable by the relevant Company), the net
proceeds will be:
Minimum net proceeds (£)
Maven VCT 3 19,000,000
Maven VCT 4 19,000,000
In relation to each Offer, the maximum costs of the Offer to an
investor will be 2.5% of the Application Amount plus (i) in respect of
'execution-only' investors, any initial commission payable by the
relevant Company to 'execution-only' intermediaries (this being a
maximum of 2.5% of the Application Amount) or (ii) in respect of
advised investors, any amount of initial adviser charges (which is
the amount payable by an investor to their adviser, the payment of
which that Company has agreed to facilitate).
E2a Reasons for the
Offers and use of the
proceeds
The funds raised by the Companies pursuant to the Offers will
enable
the
Companies
to
take
full
advantage
of
attractive
investment opportunities currently being seen by the Manager and
reduce the annual operating cost per Share by spreading the fixed
operating costs of the Companies over a larger asset base.
The net proceeds of each Offer will be pooled with the existing cash
resources of the relevant Company and utilised as follows:
to make new and follow-on investments in accordance with the
investment policy of the relevant Company and subject to
satisfying VCT investment rules;

Shares; and
to facilitate the payment of dividends and market purchases of
to meet the annual running costs of the relevant Company.
E3 Terms and conditions
of the Offers
Formula: The number of New Shares to be allotted to a successful Applicant
under each Offer will be determined by the following Allotment
Number of New Shares1 =
A – B – C
NAV
Where:
A. is the Application Amount (this being the total amount remitted
to the relevant Company with the investor's application,
including any amount requested to be facilitated as an initial
adviser charge, as accepted under the Offers)
B. is 2.5% of the Application Amount (i.e. 2.5% of A, this being the
Maven Offer Administration Fee), less any amount equal to any
applicable Early Investment Incentive discount or as may
otherwise be waived by Maven at its discretion:
C. is either
(i) in respect of advised investors, the amount of any initial
adviser charge agreed to be facilitated (up to a
maximum amount of 2.5% of the Application Amount
(i.e. 2.5% of A)); or
(ii) in respect of 'execution-only' investors, the amount of
any initial commission agreed to be paid by the relevant
Company to the 'execution-only' intermediary (up to a
maximum amount of 2.5% of the Application Amount
(i.e. 2.5% of A) less any amount of commission agreed
to be waived by the intermediary
is the most recent NAV2
NAV
per share as at the date of
allotment, adjusted for dividends subsequently declared
and for which the record date has passed.
1
The number of New Shares to be allotted by the relevant Company will
be rounded down to the nearest whole number and fractions of New
Shares will not be allotted.
2
The Allotment Formula, which is based on the latest published NAV of
the relevant Company and takes account of the costs of the relevant
Offer, avoids any material dilution in the NAV of the existing Shares.
Potential investors should note that the NAV per Share may rise or fall
during the period of that Offer.
The offer price per New Share would, therefore, be the amount of
the investor's application accepted to be used to subscribe for New
Shares (i.e. the Application Amount referred to above, less any
amount of initial adviser charge agreed to be facilitated in respect of
an advised investor) divided by the number of New Shares to be
issued resulting from the Allotment Formula above. For the
purposes of calculating the relevant offer price, initial 'execution
only' intermediary commission is not deducted from the Application
Amount (as this is paid by the relevant Company, after investment,
from the monies subscribed by the investor).
Advised
investors
who
receive
advice
from
their
financial
intermediaries can request for all or part of any initial adviser charge
to be facilitated by the Companies' receiving agent (subject to a
maximum amount equal to 2.5% of the Application Amount). If
facilitated, this agreed amount will be deducted from the monies
received from the investor.
Maven may (on behalf of a Company) agree with intermediaries
providing 'execution-only' services that, in respect of any application
accepted from a client for whom the 'execution-only' intermediary
acts, it will offer an initial commission (subject to a maximum of
2.5% of the amount subscribed for New Shares by their clients).
Initial 'execution-only' intermediary commission will be paid by the
relevant Company from the monies subscribed by the investor (after
investment), and will be taken into account in the operation of the
Allotment Formula (thereby reducing the number of New Shares an
investor will receive).
Intermediaries may waive all or part of the initial commission offered
for the benefit of their client (such amount will be taken into account
in determining the number of New Shares to be allotted under the
Allotment Formula i.e. more New Shares will be allotted then would
be the case where commission is not waived and is paid to the
intermediary).
In addition, provided that the 'execution-only' intermediaries' clients
continue to hold their New Shares, such intermediaries will normally
be paid by the Company an annual trail commission of 0.5% of the
Application Amount for up to four years. These amounts are
expected to be payable as at 31 December 2019, 2020, 2021 and
2022.
Commissions will only be paid if, and to the extent that, they are
permitted under legislation and regulations.

VCT 4), each Offer is fully subscribed with the over-allotment facility
fully utilised, all investors are eligible for the maximum amount of
the early investment incentive and that all investors use an
'execution-only' intermediary (with the maximum initial commission
of 2.5% being waived and no trail commission being payable).
E7 Expenses charged to
investors
The maximum costs of each Offer to an investor will be 2.5% of the
Application Amount plus (i) in respect of 'execution-only' investors,
any initial commission payable by the relevant Company to
'execution-only' intermediaries (this being a maximum of 2.5% of
the Application Amount) or (ii) in respect of advised investors, any
amount of initial adviser charges (which is the amount payable by
an investor to their adviser, the payment of which the relevant
Company has agreed to facilitate).
