British Smaller Companies VCT2 plc (the "Company")

Payment of Interim Dividend and Allotment of Shares

The Company announces that on 29 September 2017 it paid an interim dividend of 1.5 pence per ordinary share to shareholders on the register of members of the Company as at the record date of 1 September 2017 ("Interim Dividend").

The Company further announces that on 29 September 2017 it issued and allotted 606,434 ordinary shares of 10 pence each pursuant to its dividend re-investment scheme ("DRIS") at a price of 54.63 pence per share to shareholders of the Company who elected to receive shares instead of the Interim Dividend. The subscription price of 54.63 pence per share was determined in accordance with the terms and conditions of the DRIS on the basis of the last reported Net Asset Value of 59.0 pence per ordinary share as at 30 June 2017 (adjusted for the Interim Dividend of 1.5 pence per share to be paid today) less 5%.  As a result, 22% of the Interim Dividend paid by the Company, was re-invested in shares in the Company via the DRIS.

Application is now being made for the ordinary shares which were issued and allotted as set out above to be admitted to the premium segment of the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market for listed securities, and dealings are expected to commence on or around 13 October 2017.

Following such issue and allotment the Company's issued share capital consists of 101,091,180 ordinary shares of 10 pence each with voting rights ("Voting Capital") and 3,405,746 ordinary shares of 10 pence each held in treasury.

The above statement of Voting Capital may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
