As at the date of this document, the Company has now invested the net proceeds of the Ordinary Share offers and 65% of the net proceeds of the B Ordinary Share offers, each in accordance with its published investment policy.

B.8	Key pro forma financial information	Not applicable. No pro forma financial information is included in the Prospectus.
B.9	Profit forecast	Not applicable. No profit forecast or estimate is included in the Prospectus.

Element	Disclosure requirement	Disclosure
B.10	Description of the nature of any qualifications in the audit report on the historical financial information	Not applicable. There has been no qualification in any audit report on any historical financial information to date.
B.11	Explanation of insufficiency of working capital for present requirements	Not applicable. The Company is of the opinion that its working capital is sufficient for its present requirements, that is, for at least the twelve month period from the date of the Prospectus.
B.34	Investment policy	Investment Objectives The Company will seek to invest in a diversified portfolio of smaller companies, principally unquoted companies but possibly also including stocks quoted on AIM or NEX, selecting companies which Oakley Investment Managers LLP (the "Manager") believes provide the opportunity for value appreciation. Pending investment in suitable Qualifying Investments, the Manager will invest in investments intended to generate a positive return, which may include certain money market securities, listed securities and cash deposits. The Company will continue to hold up to 30% of its net assets (20% from 1 April 2020) in such products after it is fully invested under the VCT rules.
		Investment Strategy For its "qualifying investments" (being investments which comprise Qualifying Investments for a venture capital trust as defined in Chapter 4 Part 6 of the Income Tax Act 2007) ("Qualifying Investments"), the Company is expected to invest primarily in unquoted companies, although it may also invest in companies whose shares are traded on AIM or NEX. The Company will invest in a diverse range of businesses, predominantly those which the Manager considers are capable of organic growth and, in the long term, sustainable cash flow generation. It is likely that investment will be biased towards consumer‑facing businesses with an established brand or where brand development opportunities exist. The Company will invest in a small portfolio of carefully selected Qualifying Investments where the Manager should be able to exert influence over key elements of each investee company's strategy and operations. The companies may be at any stage in their development from start‑up to established businesses. It is anticipated that, at any time, up to 30% of investments (20% from 1 April 2020) will be held in non‑VCT qualifying investments ("Non‑Qualifying Investments"), recognising that no single investment will represent more than 15% of net assets (at the time of investment). Until suitable Qualifying Investments are identified, up to 30% of the net proceeds of any offer (20% from 1 April 2020) will be invested in other funds, with the balance being invested in other investments which may include certain money market securities, and cash deposits.
		Asset Allocation Qualifying Investment Portfolio For its Qualifying Investments, the Company will invest primarily in companies whose shares are not traded on any exchange, although it may also invest in companies whose shares are traded on AIM or NEX, and will invest up to a maximum of 15% (at the time of investment) in any single Qualifying Investment. The Manager will seek to construct a portfolio comprising a diverse range of businesses. It is expected that a substantial proportion of the Qualifying Investments will be in the form of ordinary shares, and in some cases preference shares or loans.

Element	Disclosure requirement	Disclosure
B.34 continued	Investment policy continued	Non‑Qualifying Investment Portfolio Under current VCT legislation, the Company must have invested at least 70% of funds raised in Qualifying Investments within three years of the funds being raised (80% from 1 April 2020). However, this programme of investment in Qualifying Investments will take time to complete; thus in the first three years a considerable proportion of those funds will need to be invested elsewhere, in Non‑Qualifying Investments such as certain money market securities, listed securities and cash deposits. At any time after the end of the three years of initial investment in Qualifying Investments, the Company will hold no more than 30% of its funds in Non‑Qualifying Investments (20% from 1 April 2020). The portfolio of Non‑Qualifying Investments will be managed with the intention of generating a positive return. Until suitable Qualifying Investments are identified, up to 30% of the net proceeds of any offer will be invested in other funds (20% from 1 April 2020), with the balance being invested in other investments which may include money market securities and cash deposits.
		Risk Diversification The Directors will control the overall risk of the portfolio by ensuring that the Company has exposure to a diversified range of unquoted companies, in particular, targeting a variety of sectors. In order to limit concentration in the portfolio that is derived from any particular investment, at all times no more than 15% by value of the relevant share pool of the Company (at the time of investment) will be invested in any single company. In addition, no more than 10%, in aggregate, of the assets of the Company (at the time the investment is made) will be invested in other listed closed‑ended investment funds. The Company may invest in a range of securities including, but not limited to, ordinary and preference shares, loan stocks and convertible securities, and other interest‑bearing securities. Unquoted Qualifying Investments will usually be structured as a combination of ordinary shares, preference shares and loans.
		Gearing In common with many other VCTs, whilst the board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") does not intend that the Company will borrow funds, the Company is entitled to do so subject to the aggregate principal amount at the time of borrowing not exceeding 25% of the value of the adjusted capital and reserves of the Company (being, in summary, the aggregate of the issued share capital, plus any amount standing to the credit of the Company's reserves, deducting any distributions declared and intangible assets and adjusting for any variations to the above since the date of the relevant balance sheet). There are no plans to utilise this facility at the current time. Change in Investment Policy Should a material change in the investment policy be deemed appropriate this will only
B.35	Borrowing limits	be effected with the prior approval of Shareholders in accordance with the Listing Rules. The Company is entitled to incur borrowings provided that the aggregate principal amount outstanding at any one time does not exceed 25% of the value of the adjusted capital and reserves of the Company at the time the borrowings are incurred (being, in summary, the aggregate of the issued share capital, plus any amount standing to the credit of the Company's reserves, deducting any distributions declared and intangible assets and adjusting for any variations to the above since the date of the relevant balance sheet).

Element	Disclosure requirement	Disclosure
B.36	Regulatory status	The Company is not a regulated entity.
B.37	Typical investor	The profile of a typical Investor is a UK tax resident individual who seeks a venture capital strategy focused on capital appreciation with sufficient income and capital available to be able to commit an investment in the Company for over five years and who is attracted by the income tax relief available for a VCT investment. Investors may include retail, institutional and sophisticated investors and high net‑worth individuals (however the decision to invest may be influenced by the availability of tax reliefs to such an Investor).
B.38	Investment of 20% or more in a single underlying asset or investment company	Not applicable. The Company will not invest more than 20% of its gross assets in a single underlying asset or investment company.
B.39	Investment of 40% or more in a single underlying asset or investment company	Not applicable. The Company will not invest more than 40% of its gross assets in a single underlying asset or investment company.
B.40	Applicant's service providers	Investment Management Arrangements Under an investment management agreement dated 15 February 2013, novated to the Manager on 1 July 2014 and varied on 3 October 2014 and 1 December 2017 (the "IMA"), the Manager provides discretionary and advisory investment management services to the Company in respect of its portfolio of investments in accordance with the provisions of the IMA. Under the IMA, the Manager and the Company have agreed to fix the Annual Running Costs of the Company at 2.0% of the Company's net asset value (and to the extent that they exceeded that cap, the Manager would bear those costs). The Manager is entitled to an annual management fee of the amount by which the Annual Running Costs (other than the annual management fee) are less than 2.0%. It is therefore expected that the Annual Running Costs payable by the Company each year will be 2.0% of its net asset value. The annual management fee is payable quarterly in advance based on projected Annual Running Costs and subject to a final balancing adjustment payment either way. Annual Running Costs include the regular ordinary course of business running costs of the Company but do not include costs related to extraordinary events or significant discretionary corporate events and any Performance Fee payable (as described below) and, in any rolling period of 12 months, do not include the lesser of "X" and the aggregate value of the auditors' fees, administration, accounting and company secretarial fees, share registrars' fees, London Stock Exchange fees, printing and mailing costs in respect of the audited accounts, interim accounts and circulars to shareholders, fees in respect of regulatory announcements made through a Regulatory Information Service, corporate broking fees, insurance premiums and remuneration of the Board (including employers' national insurance contributions).

Element	Disclosure requirement	Disclosure
B.40 continued	Applicant's service providers continued	For such time as the Net Asset Value of the Company is £100,000,000 or less, "X" is £350,000 and, for such time as the Net Asset Value of the Company exceeds £100,000,000, "X" is £500,000. The Manager will also receive a performance fee of 20% exclusive of VAT of any amounts distributed to Shareholders in excess of £1 per Share (the "Performance Fee") above the relevant hurdle. The Performance Fee in relation to the return on the Ordinary Shares is subject to satisfaction of a hurdle which is that Ordinary Shareholders have received in aggregate a return equivalent to at least 8% per annum per Share (calculated on a daily basis and not compounded) on the amount subscribed per Share (100p) as from 20 January 2014 in respect of Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the Launch Offer and from 31 March 2014 in respect of Ordinary Shares issued under the Top Up Offer. The Performance Fee in relation to the return on the B Ordinary Shares is subject to satisfaction of a hurdle which is that B Ordinary Shareholders have received in aggregate a return equivalent to at least 3% per annum per Share (calculated on a daily basis and not compounded) on the amount subscribed per Share (100p) as from (i) the date of the last allotment under the offer of B Ordinary Shares on the basis of the October 2014 prospectus in respect of Shares issued under that prospectus or (ii) the date of the issue of the relevant B Ordinary Shares under any subsequent offer of B Ordinary Shares, and in either case up to the date of proposed payment of the relevant Performance Incentive Fee. Where, at the time of a distribution, there have been previous distributions to the relevant class of Shareholders, for the purposes of determining if the hurdle on the relevant Shares has been met, the return will be calculated from the day after the previous distribution date for the relevant Shares on the total amount subscribed per relevant Share by Shareholders but reduced by the aggregate amount of such previous distributions made on the relevant Shares on a per Share basis. The Manager's appointment under the IMA will continue until terminated on twelve months' notice given by either party at any time after the tenth anniversary of the Ordinary Share Admission Date, subject to earlier termination in certain circumstances.
		Administration and Company Secretarial Arrangements
		Under an administration agreement (the "Administration Agreement") dated 15 February 2013 (as subsequently varied on 3 October 2014), The City Partnership (UK) Limited (the "Administrator") provides certain administrative, accounting and company secretarial services to the Company for an annual fee (currently at a rate of £65,828 per annum (subject to increase by an amount equal to 0.05% of any further funds raised by the Company in any future share issues) plus VAT at the relevant rate, payable quarterly in advance and increases annually in line with RPI. The Administrator's appointment under the Administration Agreement can be terminated on six months' notice given at any time, subject to earlier termination in certain circumstances.
		Offer Agreement Oakley Capital Limited ("Oakley") will pay all the Company's costs and expenses of or incidental to the Offer and Admission (including commission payable to Kin Capital), in return for which it will receive a Promoter Fee on the value of each application for B Ordinary Shares accepted by the Company.

Element	Disclosure requirement	Disclosure
B.41	Regulatory status of the Manager	The Manager is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. The Manager acts as the Alternative Investment Fund Manager to the Company.
B.42	Calculation of net asset value	The net asset value of a Share will be calculated by the Manager in accordance with the Company's accounting policies and will be published quarterly through a Regulatory Information Service. The calculation of the net asset value per Share will only be suspended in circumstances where the underlying data necessary to value the investments of the Company cannot readily, or without undue expenditure, be obtained. Details of any suspension in making such calculations will be announced through a Regulatory Information Service.
B.43	Cross liability	The Company is not an umbrella collective investment undertaking. Investors should be aware however that, although the Articles contain provisions designed to allocate the assets and liabilities of the Company between the different share classes, such provisions cannot ring fence the assets allocated to one share class from the liabilities of the other share class as far as third parties are concerned (for example a creditor of the Company).
B.44	Absence of financial statements	Not applicable. The Company has commenced operations and published financial statements.
B.45	Portfolio	Investment of the Ordinary and B Ordinary Share Pool has been across four sectors: health and fitness; hospitality; apparel and accessories; and media and technology. As at the date of this document, the Company has made 27 investments totalling £29 million in aggregate. The Company's investments are principally in unquoted investments in UK companies.
B.46	Net asset value	As at 30 September 2017, being the latest date prior to this document at which the Company has published its NAV, the Company's unaudited NAV per Ordinary Share was 113.19 pence and unaudited NAV per B Ordinary Share was 103.27 pence.

Element	Disclosure requirement	Disclosure
C.1	Types and class of securities	The Company will issue new B Ordinary shares of 1 pence each ("B Ordinary Shares") under the Offer. The ISIN of the B Ordinary Shares is GB00BQVC9S79, the SEDOL is BQVC9S7 and the LEI is 213800RLWAGHVUX8HR40.
C.2	Currency	Sterling.
C.3	Number of securities to be issued	The Company will issue up to £20 million of B Ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company pursuant to the Offer, with an over‑allotment facility for up to a further £10 million of B Ordinary Shares.
C.4	Description of the	As regards Income:
	rights attaching to the securities	The Shareholders shall be entitled to receive such dividends as the Directors resolve to pay out in accordance with the Articles.
		Under the Articles of the Company, all the assets of the Company and all the liabilities of the Company will be allocated either to the Ordinary Share Pool or the B Ordinary Share Pool. The Ordinary Shares will be entitled to the economic benefit of the assets allocated to the Ordinary Share Pool and the B Ordinary Shares will be entitled to the economic benefit of assets allocated to the B Ordinary Share Pool.
		Therefore, although the rules in the CA 2006 and elsewhere in relation to the payment of distributions will be applicable to the Company on a Companywide basis, the income arising on the portfolios will belong to one or the other of the share classes depending on which portfolio generated the income.
		As regards Capital: Similarly, the capital assets of the Company will be allocated to either the Ordinary Share Pool or the B Ordinary Share Pool. On a return of capital on a winding‑up or on a return of capital (other than on a purchase by the Company of its Shares) the surplus capital shall be divided amongst the holders of the relevant Share class pro rata according to the number of Shares of the relevant class held and the aggregate entitlements of that Share class. The Ordinary Shares will not be entitled to any capital assets held in the B Ordinary Share Pool and the B Ordinary Shares will not be entitled to any capital assets held in the Ordinary Share Pool. In relation to the purchase by the Company of its Shares, the purchase of Ordinary Shares may only be financed by assets in the Ordinary Share Pool and the purchase of B Ordinary Shares may only be financed by assets in the B Ordinary Share Pool.

Section C – Securities

Element	Disclosure requirement	Disclosure
C.4 continued	Description of the rights attaching to the securities continued	As regards voting and general meetings: Subject to disenfranchisement in the event of non‑compliance with a statutory notice requiring disclosure as to beneficial ownership, each Shareholder present in person or by proxy shall on a poll have one vote for each Share of which he is the holder. The Ordinary Shareholders may not be entitled to vote on certain matters which concern the B Ordinary Share class only and vice versa.
		As regards Redemption: None of the B Ordinary Shares or the Ordinary Shares are redeemable.
		As regards the Special Reserve created on the cancellation of the Company's share premium account in March 2014: The Articles provide that the special reserve created upon the cancellation of the share premium account arising from the previous issue of Ordinary Shares may be used for the benefit of both the Ordinary Shares and the B Ordinary Shares. While this will not transfer any net asset value between the different share classes, it will permit those reserves to be treated as distributable profits on a Company‑wide basis such that on an accounting basis dividends and share buybacks in respect of both share classes may be facilitated by the availability of that special reserve.
C.5	Restrictions on the free transferability of the securities	Not applicable. There are no restrictions on the free transferability of the Shares.
C.6	Admission	Application will be made to the UK Listing Authority for the B Ordinary Shares to be admitted to the premium segment of the Official List and to the London Stock Exchange to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities. It is expected that such admissions will become effective, and that dealings in the B Ordinary Shares will commence, within ten Business Days of their allotment.
C.7	Dividend policy	Generally, a VCT must distribute by way of dividend such amount as to ensure that it retains not more than 15% of its income from shares and securities.

Section D – Risks

Element	Disclosure requirement	Disclosure
D.2	Key information on the key risks specific to the issuer	Key risk factors relating to the Company are: • There can be no guarantee that the Company will meet all its objectives or that suitable investment opportunities will be identified. The past performance of members of the Management Team is no indication of future performance. • 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, and as a minority investor, the Company may not be able fully to protect its interests. There may also be constraints imposed on the realisation of investments to maintain the VCT tax status of the Company. • Investments in smaller unquoted companies, (usually with limited trading records which require venture capital) carry substantially higher risks than would an investment in larger or longer‑established businesses. • The Company may be unable to maintain its VCT status, which could result in loss of certain tax reliefs. • The Company's investments may be difficult to realise. There may also be constraints imposed on the realisation of investments by reason of the need to maintain the VCT status of the Company. Key risks associated with the Non‑Qualifying Investments • The Company's portfolio of Non‑Qualifying Investments (e.g. money market funds) are subject to market fluctuations Such investments are affected by the selection of funds and managers by the Manager and by investment decisions of such portfolio managers,
		and there can be no assurance that appreciation will occur or that losses will not be incurred. • The ability of the Company to realise Non‑Qualifying Investments may be adversely affected by the illiquidity in underlying assets, or such investments having redemption periods that result in them not being readily realisable, or in the premature realisation of such investments.
D.3	Key information on the key risks specific to the securities	The key risk factors relating to the Shares are: • The market price of a Share may not fully reflect the underlying net asset value. • The value of Shares depends on the performance of the Company's underlying assets and that value and the income derived from those assets may go down as well as up and an Investor may not get back the amount invested. • Although the Shares are listed on the Official List and admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange, shares in VCTs are inherently illiquid. Shareholders may, therefore, have difficulty in selling their Shares. • Investing in a VCT may not be suitable for all Investors. Tax reliefs may be lost by Investors or the Company taking or not taking certain steps. • The interests of the Ordinary Shareholders and the B Ordinary Shareholders may not always be aligned. Certain corporate actions (such as a winding‑up, and the holding of investments under the VCT Rules, for example) can only be effected on a Company‑wide basis. It may therefore occur that the Ordinary Shareholders and the B Ordinary Shareholders disagree in relation to a certain matter and the Board will have to try to find some accommodation of the competing interests. • Levels, bases of, and reliefs from taxation are subject to change, which could be retrospective.

Section E – Offer

Element	Disclosure requirement	Disclosure
E.1	Net proceeds and costs of the Issue	Oakley will pay all costs and expenses of or incidental to the Offer and Admission (including commission payable to Kin Capital), in return for which it shall receive from the Company a Promoter Fee on the value of each application for B Ordinary Shares accepted by the Company. Assuming a full subscription of £30 million of B Ordinary Shares, a Promoter Fee of 2.5% on all such subscriptions (with the over‑allotment facility fully utilised), the cost to the Company would, therefore, be £750,000 (excluding VAT). The total net proceeds of the Offer, after all fees, is expected to be £29,250,000 (assuming a full subscription of £30 million of B Ordinary Shares and a Promoter Fee of 2.5% on all such subscriptions with the over‑allotment facility fully utilised).
E.2a	Reason for the Offer and use of proceeds	By making the Offer the Company intends to raise funds for the B Ordinary Share Pool and then use a minimum of 70% (80% after 1 April 2020) of the proceeds of the Offer to acquire over a period not exceeding three years (and subsequently maintain) a portfolio of Qualifying Investments for the B Ordinary Share Pool in accordance with the published investment policy of the Company. Pending investment in Qualifying Investments, the proceeds of the Offer will be invested in non‑Qualifying Investments, some of which will have an expected realisation date which meets the cash requirements of the Company. The estimated maximum net proceeds of the Offer, assuming a full subscription of £30 million of B Ordinary Shares and a Promoter Fee of 2.5% on all such subscriptions (with the over‑allotment facility fully utilised), is £29,250,000.
E.3	Terms and conditions of the Offer	Up to £20 million of B Ordinary Shares are being made available at the Offer Price under the Offer, with an over‑allotment facility for up to a further £10 million of B Ordinary Shares. The B Ordinary Shares are payable in full upon application. Offer Price, Commission and Adviser Charges Commission is not permitted to be paid to Intermediaries who provide a personal recommendation to UK retail clients on investments in VCTs. Instead of commission being paid by the VCT, a fee will usually be agreed between the Intermediary and Investor for the advice ("Adviser Charge"). This fee can either be paid directly by the Investor to the Intermediaries or be facilitated by the Company. If the payment of the Adviser Charge is to be facilitated by the Company, then the Investor is required to specify the amount of the charge on the Application Form (see Box in section 11). The Investor will be issued fewer B Ordinary Shares (to the equivalent value of the Adviser Charge) through the Pricing Formula set out below. Commission is permitted to be paid to Intermediaries in certain limited situations, such as in respect of execution only clients (where no advice or personal recommendation has been provided). The level of the Promoter Fee reflects whether or not commission is payable. The Company reserves the right to agree trail commission with Intermediaries on an individual basis which is indirectly paid out of Oakley's annual management fees through a corresponding reduction in those management fees. Payment of the trail commission is Oakley's responsibility. Promoter Fee (no Adviser commission payable) With the exception of those Investors who make Early Applications (see below), Oakley will be paid a Promoter Fee of 2.5% on accepted applications under the Offer (where it is not required to pay commission to an Intermediary).

Element	Disclosure requirement	Disclosure
E.3 continued	Terms and conditions of the Offer continued	In the case of Investors who make Early Applications (with no Intermediary commission) before 5.00 p.m. on 12 January 2018, Oakley will receive a fee of 1.5% except in those cases where the Applicants invest directly (which will attract a Promoter Fee of 3% for new investors, reduced to 1% for existing shareholders).
		Promoter Fee (Adviser commission payable) Oakley will charge a Promoter Fee of 5.5% of the monies subscribed, where it is required to pay commission to an Intermediary. Out of its Promoter Fees, Oakley (not the Investor) will be responsible for paying all the costs of the Offers, including initial and trail commission to Intermediaries (where applicable) and any commission payable to Kin Capital.
		Pricing of the Offer The number of B Ordinary Shares to be issued to each Applicant will be calculated based on the following Pricing Formula (rounded down to the nearest whole B Ordinary Share): Number of B Ordinary Shares = Amount subscribed, less (i) Promoter Fee and (ii) Adviser Charge ÷ Latest published NAV per B Ordinary Share The Offer is conditional on the shareholder resolutions to be proposed at the general meeting on 8 January 2018 being passed.
E.4	Material interests	Not applicable. No interest is material to the Offer.
E.5	Name of person selling securities	Not applicable. No person or entity is offering to sell the securities as part of the Offer and there are no lock‑up agreements.
E.6	Dilution	On the basis of full subscription under the Offer of £30 million, including full utilisation of the over-allotment facility at an Offer Price of 103.27 pence per B Ordinary Share, the B Ordinary Shares in issue will be diluted by 52.7%. There will be no dilution of the Ordinary Shares in issue.
E.7	Expenses charged to the Investor	Applications received through execution‑only Intermediaries The expenses charged to the Investor under the Offer are 5.5% of gross funds raised for the Company in respect of applications received through execution only brokers or intermediaries not offering financial advice. Where such applicants make Early Applications, the expenses charged to the Investor under the Offer are reduced to 4.5% of gross funds raised for the Company. Applications received directly from Applicants who are not existing Shareholders The expenses charged to the Investor under the Offer are 4% of gross funds raised for the
		Company in respect of applications received directly from investors who are not existing Shareholders, or 3% where such direct investors make an Early Application.
		Applications received directly from existing Shareholders and through Intermediaries offering financial advice
		The expenses charged to the Investor under the Offer are 2% of gross funds raised for the Company in respect of applications received directly from existing Shareholders and 2.5% of gross funds raised through intermediaries offering financial advice. Where such applicants make an Early Application, the expenses charged to the Investor under the Offer are reduced to 1% and 1.5% respectively of gross funds raised for the Company.

Risk Factors

Prospective Investors should consider carefully the following risk factors, as well as the other information in this Prospectus, before investing in B Ordinary Shares. Prospective Investors should read the whole of this Prospectus and not rely solely on the information in this section entitled "Risk Factors". The business and financial condition of the Company could be adversely affected if any of the following risks were to occur and as a result the trading price of the B Ordinary Shares could decline and Investors could lose part or all of their investment.

The Directors consider the following risks to be material for potential Investors, but the risks listed below do not necessarily comprise all those associated with an investment in the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties currently unknown to the Company (such as changes in legal, regulatory or tax requirements), or which the Company currently believes are immaterial, may also have a materially adverse effect on its financial condition or prospects or the trading price of B Ordinary Shares.

The Directors draw the attention of potential Investors to the following risk factors which may affect an investment in B Ordinary Shares, the Company's performance and/or the availability of tax reliefs.

Risks associated with holding shares in a VCT

The B Ordinary Shares will usually trade at a discount to their underlying net asset value. The value of an investment in the Company depends on the performance of its underlying assets and that value and the income derived from the investment may go down as well as up and an Investor may not get back the amount invested.
Although the B Ordinary Shares to be issued under the Offer will be listed on the Official List and admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange, shares in VCTs are inherently illiquid and there may be a limited market in the B Ordinary Shares primarily because the initial tax relief is only available to those subscribing for newly issued B Ordinary Shares and Shareholders may, therefore, have difficulty in selling them.
The Directors are committed to maintaining the Company's VCT status but there can be no guarantee that the Company will fulfil the criteria to maintain full VCT status. If the Company loses its approval as a VCT before Investors have held their B Ordinary Shares for five years, the 30% income tax relief obtained will have to be repaid by such investors. Following a loss of VCT status, an Investor will be taxed on dividends paid by the Company, and in addition, a liability to capital gains tax may arise on any subsequent disposal of B Ordinary Shares.
Where full approval as a VCT is not maintained, any dividends previously paid to holders of B Ordinary Shares will be liable to be assessed to income tax in the year in which they were paid. Interest may also be due. The Company will also lose its exemption from corporation tax on capital gains. If at any time VCT status is lost, dealings in the B Ordinary Shares may be suspended until such time as the Company has published proposals to continue as a VCT or be wound up.
The information in this document is based on existing legislation, including taxation legislation. The tax reliefs described are those currently available. Levels and bases of, and relief from taxation are subject to change. Such change could be retrospective. The value of tax reliefs depends on the personal circumstances of holders of shares, who should consult their own tax advisers before making any investment.
An investment in the Company should be regarded as long‑term in nature as a sale by Investors of their Shares within five years will require a repayment of the 30% income tax relief obtained and is, therefore, not suitable for all individuals. Potential Investors should consult their professional advisers prior to making any investment decision in relation to the Offer.
The VCT Rules restrict the ability of VCTs to return amounts subscribed as capital to shareholders within three years of the end of the accounting period in which the funds were raised. It will, therefore, not be possible until the end of that time period to utilise amounts of share premium resulting from the B Ordinary Share issue in the same way as amounts of share premium were converted into a Special Reserve available for distributions and share buy‑backs following completion of the court approval procedure in respect of the previous Ordinary Share issue. Since the share premium resulting from the B Ordinary Share issue will not be available until the end of the relevant three year period, this may in the future impact on the Company's ability to pay dividends and/or buy back B Ordinary Shares, or the amount thereof, since during the period where share premium in respect of shares issued post 6 April 2014 cannot be used, only the existing Special Reserve and distributable reserves created through investment activities will be utilised for these purposes (and such reserves resulting from investment activities may possibly take time to accumulate to a level where they can be used for such purposes). It should be noted however that the amount in the Special Reserve is significant (£14.2 million as at the date of this document) and it is, therefore, likely that it will not be exhausted prior to the expiry of the relevant three year period. Under the current law, any cancellation of the share premium resulting from any B Ordinary Share issue under the Offer would be subject to shareholder approval and court approval.

Risk Factors continued

Income tax relief is not available in respect of a subscription for shares in a VCT where the investor has sold shares in that VCT and the sale was conditional upon the subscription, or the subscription was conditional upon the sale, or the subscription was made within six months of the sale (before or after). This will also have effect in relation to a subscription for shares in a VCT which is deemed to be a successor or predecessor of the VCT because there has been a merger of VCTs, or a restructuring of a group of companies of which the VCT is a member. The measure will not affect subscriptions for shares where the monies being subscribed represent dividends which the investor has elected to reinvest.
On 24 June 2016 it was announced that the UK electorate had voted to leave the European Union ("EU"). At the date of this document there is significant uncertainty over the form of the UK's eventual trade and regulatory position relative to the EU. As the Company is impacted by European‑led legislation while the UK remains a part of the EU, the future regulatory environment is therefore subject to significant uncertainty. However, at least in the short term and until the terms of the UK's withdrawal from the EU has been agreed, the Company will continue to be subject to European‑led legislation, as enacted into UK legislation.

Risks associated with the likely underlying investments

There can be no guarantee that the Company will meet all its objectives or that suitable investment opportunities will be identified.
Smaller unquoted companies, usually with limited trading records, requiring venture capital, frequently experience significant change. Investments in such companies carry substantially higher risks than would an investment in larger or longer‑established businesses.
Investment in unquoted companies, by its nature, involves a higher degree of risk than investment in the main market. In particular, small companies often have limited product lines, markets or financial resources and may be dependent for their management on a smaller number of key individuals. In addition, 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. Proper information for determining their value or the risks to which they are exposed may also not be available.
Valuations of unquoted companies are determined by the Directors within IPEVC guidelines. However, these valuation policies take account of stock market price earnings ratios for the relevant industry sectors, discounted for non‑marketability, and, therefore, the valuation of the portfolio and opportunities for realisation depend on stock market conditions.
The Company's investments may be difficult to realise. There may also be constraints imposed on the realisation of investments by reason of the need to maintain the VCT status of the Company.
The Company may make investments into companies with similar trading profiles and with exposures in the same industry and/or to the same customer base. The level of returns to the Company may, therefore, be adversely affected by any downturn in those sectors or the sources within those sectors from which income is derived.
The Company does not intend to invest in a large number of Qualifying or Non‑Qualifying Investments, instead concentrating on a limited number of Qualifying or Non‑Qualifying Investments but at the same time ensuring that no one investment represents more than 15% (by value and at the date of investment) of its total investments. By concentrating on a smaller number of Qualifying and Non‑Qualifying Investments, risk is not spread as widely but is more concentrated between a smaller number of Qualifying and Non‑Qualifying Investments.
Although the Company expects to receive certain conventional venture capital rights in connection with its unquoted investments, as a minority investor it will not control the companies in which it invests (or their boards of directors) and may not always be in a position to fully protect its interests.
Businesses in which the Company invests may incur unplanned costs and delays as a result of statutory and regulatory requirements in areas such as labour and health and safety, or where construction operations do not proceed as planned, which may prevent them from fulfilling their business plans and reduce the level of returns to the Company.
The level of returns from investments may be reduced if there are delays in the investment programme, such that part of the net proceeds of the Offer are held in cash or cash‑based similar liquid investments for longer than anticipated, or if the investments cannot be realised at the expected time and values.

Risk Factors continued

• In November 2015, new VCT Rules introduced a maximum age limit for companies receiving VCT investments (generally seven years from first commercial sale) and a maximum amount of Risk Finance State Aid which a company can receive over its lifetime (£12 million, or £20 million for Knowledge Intensive Companies), together with further restrictions on the use of VCT funds received by investee companies. However, the Directors do not believe that these changes have affected, or will affect opportunities for investment, or follow‑on investments in companies already in the Company's portfolio.

Risks associated with the Manager and Conflicts of Interest

The past performance of members of the Management Team is no indication of future performance.
The Manager will provide discretionary and advisory investment management services to the Company in respect of its portfolio of investments. If the Manager does not perform its obligations in accordance with the agreement regulating the provision of these services, the performance of the Company and/or its ability to achieve or maintain VCT status, may be adversely affected.
The Manager, or any of its officers, employees, agents and affiliates and the Directors and any person or company with whom they are affiliated or by whom they are employed (each an 'Interested Party') may be involved in other financial, investment or other professional activities which may cause conflicts of interest with the Company. An Interested Party will not be liable to account for any profit made in connection with these activities. For example, and without limitation, an Interested Party may:
(a) deal or invest in any investment, whether or not for its own account and notwithstanding that similar investments may be held by the Company;
(b) enter into or be interested in any financial or other transaction with any entity any of whose securities are held by or for the account of the Company;
(c) allocate investment opportunities among the funds and accounts it manages in accordance with its internal policies; or
(d) arrange for the Company to acquire investments from or dispose of investments to any Interested Party or any investment fund or account advised or managed by any such person.

In the event of a conflict of interest arising in relation to the above circumstances, or in any other circumstances, and so far as it is within their powers to do so, the Directors will endeavour to ensure that it is resolved fairly and approved

by the Independent Board in accordance with the Conflicts Policy as set out in the Manager's compliance manual. Where potential and actual conflicts of interest are identified, the Manager's compliance team will be notified and they will prepare a note, which will then be considered by and discussed with the Independent Board, with the aim of agreeing steps to resolve or otherwise manage such conflicts.

To the extent that the Company intends to invest in a company in which another fund managed by the Manager has invested or intends to invest, the investment must be approved by the Independent Board.

Risks associated with Exposure to Non‑Qualifying Investments

In addition, there are certain risks specifically associated with the planned investments in Non‑Qualifying Investments which should be carefully considered by prospective Investors:

The performance of the Company's Non‑Qualifying Investments is affected by the selection of funds and managers by the Manager and by investment decisions of such portfolio managers. There is no guarantee (whether from the Manager or any other party) that the Company will meet its investment objective.
Initially, whilst suitable Qualifying Investments are being identified in accordance with the Company's investment policy, the assets allocated to the B Ordinary Share Pool will be invested in a range of Non‑Qualifying Investments. The risks stated above may have a greater impact on the B Ordinary Share Pool's assets during the period until the Company's funds are fully invested.

Risks associated with Certain Non‑Qualifying Investments

Investments made by the Company in hedge funds and funds of hedge funds can carry a greater risk than the Non‑Qualifying Investments traditionally made by VCTs, which may include the following:

• Investments in the other funds may involve a high degree of risk, including the significant risk of loss of all or part of the amounts invested. The underlying funds may pursue speculative investment policies. These underlying funds will generally fall in the category commonly known as "hedge funds" or "alternative investments". Some investments may also be made in funds which trade in commodities futures and options, currencies and currency contracts or financial instruments. All the aforementioned investments carry a significant amount of risk, including but not limited to, concentration risk, liquidity risk, the risk associated with leverage, and exposure to loss from counterparty default.

Risk Factors continued

The performance of the Company's hedge fund investments will be affected by the selection of funds and portfolio managers by the Manager and by investment decisions of such portfolio managers. There is no guarantee that such funds or portfolio managers will meet their investment objectives.
Underlying investment funds may utilise such investment techniques as option transactions, concentrated portfolios, margin transactions, short sales and futures and forward contracts and other leveraged or derivative transactions. To the extent that such investment or other hedging techniques are used, there is no guarantee that these will have their intended effect and may, in certain circumstances, significantly amplify any losses and so cause a diminution in an underlying investment fund's assets, thereby creating a significant risk of loss of all or part of the amounts invested by the Company in that investment fund. Certain investments may use leverage, which increases the possibility of both profits and losses. The use of leverage will cause an increase in the volatility of returns.
The size of the Company's hedge fund portfolio, and its exposure thereto, is subject to market fluctuations. There can be no assurance that appreciation in that portfolio will occur or that losses will not be incurred. Asset allocations within a hedge fund portfolio will vary during market cycles.

Risks associated with there being two share classes

Although the Articles contain provisions allocating the assets and liabilities of the Company to either the Ordinary Share class or the B Ordinary Share class, such allocations may not in all circumstances (for example insolvency situations) be effective in ring‑fencing the assets and liabilities of one share class from the other, particularly in relation to a third party creditor or claimant against the Company.
The interests of the Ordinary Shareholders and the B Ordinary Shareholders may not always be aligned, for example in relation to statutory holding periods for certain tax reliefs that run from the issue date of the relevant Share. Certain relevant tests (for example, in relation to the ability to pay dividends and/or finance the buy‑back of Shares and in relation to compliance with the VCT Rules) are, however, calculated on a Company‑wide basis. In addition, certain corporate actions (such as a winding‑up for example) can only be done on a Company‑wide basis. It may, therefore, occur that the interests of Ordinary Shareholders and the B Ordinary Shareholders are not aligned in relation to a certain matter.

Chairman's Letter

Dear Investor,

I am pleased to announce that Pembroke VCT plc has launched a new share offer to raise up to £20 million. After having raised over £43 million since 2013, Pembroke has invested £29 million in 27 companies. The Board is pleased with the performance to date and the continued progress of the portfolio. The additional cash will allow the Company to grow its existing portfolio of investments and take advantage of a healthy pipeline of prospective investment opportunities.

Existing Portfolio of Investments – New investors will gain immediate access to a maturing portfolio of growing businesses and to a well‑established dividend‑paying VCT. These assets include high growth opportunities such as Plenish, Five Guys and Alexa Chung. Additionally, Pembroke intends to use the funds raised to make a number of follow‑on investments in companies in which the Company has already invested – where further capital will accelerate their growth plans. Approximately 42% of the investments (by value) made to date have been into businesses that are now trading profitably at the operating profit level.

Brexit vote – Following the UK's vote to leave the EU, the Manager has been closely monitoring the portfolio for any subsequent impact. Whilst there is still uncertainty around what the UK's trading relationship with the EU will look like in a few years' time, the portfolio companies should be mostly unaffected. Given they are UK based businesses and a number sell their products internationally, the majority are benefiting from the depreciation of Sterling. This should make both their products more attractive to potential customers and the portfolio companies themselves more attractive to potential buyers. The UK boasts a significant track record in the sectors in which the Company invests; this is not expected to change and the portfolio may indeed benefit from greater geographic diversity in the UK's trading relationships.

VCT Regulatory Changes – Changes to the VCT Rules in 2015 severely restricted the types of companies that VCTs can invest in. Many VCT managers have been forced to develop new investment capabilities and hire new staff. Given the Company's focus on providing development capital to high growth companies rather than 'management buy‑out' transactions and mature businesses, the Board is confident that the Manager remains well placed to manage the Company and identify suitable investment opportunities. Neither the Company's investment strategy nor the types of company it invests in has had to alter since these rule changes.

Patient Capital Review – The Budget statement on 22 November 2017 heralded changes to the VCT regime which will nonetheless leave the Company's investment strategy unchanged. The aim of the changes is to halt the flow of VCT funds into companies that provide a low risk investment opportunity where the up-front tax relief provides most of the return. Companies seeking investment for their long‑term growth and development, where the investment is at genuine risk, will not be impacted.

Investments made following Royal Asset of the Finance Bill, expected in Summer 2018, will be subject to two tests, based on the views of a 'reasonable' person: i) does the company intend to grow and develop over the long term, and ii) is there the risk of a loss of capital to the investor of an amount greater than the net return? The Company believes its current portfolio and future pipeline meets these tests without difficulty, and will not see any meaningful changes to its investment strategy.

Investment Strategy – The Company's objective remains the same; Pembroke provides investors with access to a series of carefully researched investments focusing on the consumer retail and lifestyle segments. Pembroke will continue to invest in a diversified portfolio of smaller unquoted companies, with a preference for companies that are producing profits. The objective is to generate significant returns, whilst enabling Investors to benefit from substantial tax advantages.

Pembroke seeks opportunities which are capable of significant organic growth and sustainable cash generation. The Company benefits from the same investment strategy already pursued and successfully implemented by Peter Dubens at Oakley Capital since 2002. A key feature of this strategy is an investment bias towards consumer‑facing businesses which have an established brand or with the potential to develop their brand.

The B Ordinary Shares target an annual dividend of 3 pence per Share. B Ordinary Shareholders received a 2 pence dividend per Share on 26 October 2017 and, subject to performance, the intention is to pay at least another 1 pence dividend shortly after 5 April 2018. However, this is a statement of intention, and no forecast or projection should be implied or inferred.

Tax Advantages – VCTs offer significant tax benefits over most investment products, including:

income tax relief of 30% on the amount invested;
dividend payments are tax free; and
no capital gain arises when shares are sold.

If you are not already, I hope you will join me as an investor in Pembroke VCT.

Jonathan Djanogly Chairman

Part 1 – Overview

Investment Strategy for the B Ordinary Share Pool

For its Qualifying Investments, the Company is expected to invest principally in unquoted companies, although it may also invest in companies whose shares are traded on AIM or NEX. The Company will invest in a diverse range of smaller companies which the Manager considers are capable of organic growth and, in the long term, sustainable cash flow generation. It is likely that investment will be biased towards consumer‑facing businesses with an established brand or where brand development opportunities exist, with a concentration in sectors where the management team has a previous track record. Investment of the Ordinary Share Pool and the B Ordinary Share Pool has to date been across four sectors: health and fitness; hospitality; apparel and accessories; and media and technology. The companies may be at any stage in their development from start‑up to established businesses. Approximately 42% of the investments (by value) made to date have been in businesses that are now trading profitably at the operating profit level. It is expected that a substantial proportion of the Qualifying Investments will be in the form of ordinary shares, though the Company has and may continue to invest in preference shares or provide loans as part of those investments. It is anticipated that the Company will generally take positions in its investee companies which, whilst minority interests (as required under VCT Rules), provide the Company with significant influence over key elements of each investee company's strategy and operations. The B Ordinary Share Pool may invest in businesses in which the Ordinary Share Pool has invested.

It is anticipated that, at any time, up to 30% of investments will be held in Non‑Qualifying Investments (20% from 1 April 2020), recognising that no single investment will represent more than 15% of net assets. Until suitable Qualifying Investments are identified, the net proceeds of the Offer will be invested in Non‑Qualifying Investments which may include certain money market securities, listed securities and cash deposits. To the extent that any such investment results in the Manager or another member of the Oakley Group receiving an additional management fee on any assets of the Company, the Manager has agreed to refund those additional amounts to the Company so there is no "double dipping".

Tax Benefits

VCTs offer significant tax advantages over most investment products. In summary, the main tax reliefs for Investors are:

income tax relief of 30% on the amount invested up to £200,000 per tax year;
dividends received by an Investor from the VCT are tax free; and
capital gains on the disposal of the VCT shares are tax free.

Example (excluding the costs of the Offer)

An Investor invests £200,000 in the Company. Payments to the Investor over the life of the Company are £500,000.

	Illustration
Initial investment	£200,000
30% income tax relief	£(60,000)
Effective cost of investment	£140,000
Returned to Investor	£500,000
No capital gains tax; therefore tax saved on gain (at 20%)	£60,000
Money multiple based on effective cost of investment	3.6x
Overall tax saving	£120,000

However, no profit forecast is to be inferred or implied from this example.

The Company proposes to raise subscriptions from Investors through both the 2017/18 Offer and the 2018/19 Offer. Investors will be able to subscribe for shares both before and after the end of the current tax year (5 April 2018) in order to take advantage of the tax reliefs available in each tax year. This also means that individual Investors will be able to invest a maximum of £400,000 in the Company, utilising their income tax relief for two tax years (and spouses each have individual entitlements and so might together double that amount).

Income tax relief is only available for set‑off against any income tax liability due.

The above is only a very brief summary of the UK tax position of Investors in VCTs and is based on the Company's understanding of current law and practice. The tax treatment of Investors in VCTs will depend on their individual circumstances. Potential Investors are recommended to consult their own appropriate professional adviser as to the taxation consequences of their investing in a VCT.

Part 1 – Overview continued

Deal Flow

The Company expects the majority of investments to be sourced by the Manager from the extensive personal and professional networks of the Management Team.
These networks have been built up over many years from direct operational business experience in commercial enterprises in a variety of sectors, and from private equity investing. Prior to establishing Oakley Capital Private Equity, Peter Dubens directed the successful consolidation and realisations of 365 Media and Pipex, establishing a network of entrepreneurs and strategic and financial sellers and purchasers which have generated relevant and quality deal flow and exit sources for the private equity fund.
PROfounders Capital LLP is a venture fund set up by Peter Dubens, Brent Hoberman and others. Through its involvement with that fund, the Management Team has been granted early insight into trends in digital media whilst contact with its investor base, comprising a number of Europe's successful entrepreneurs, provides market intelligence and a potential source of deal flow.

Exit

The Company aims to exit each of its Qualifying Investments after a holding period of approximately three to seven years. The Management Team will consider the likely exit options as part of its due diligence process on the opportunity before making a recommendation to invest. The Management Team has extensive experience of selling companies both to strategic buyers and private equity investors from which the Company will benefit.

Where possible, the Company will encourage an exit from an investee company at the same time as other shareholders as this is likely to maximise value for Investors.

As interests in the investee companies are sold, the Company intends to pay the net proceeds it receives from each sale to Investors, most likely by way of tax free dividend, but subject to the requirements and best interests of the Company. Net proceeds are calculated after deducting costs of the transaction and any performance incentive payable.

Substantial Directors' Commitment

The Directors invested £625,000 in the first issue of Ordinary Shares and a further £525,000 in the Initial B Share Offer, thus creating a significant alignment of their interests with other Investors in the Company, and reflecting the Directors' confidence in the investment strategy.

Part 1 – Investment Activity and Performance

The Management Team's investment activity up to the date of this document and performance up to 30 September 2017 is summarised in the table opposite.

The Management Team has developed a consistent track record of investing in small companies, targeting businesses capable of significant organic growth, as illustrated in the table below. Prior to the date of this document, the team has invested, in total, £31.9 million) and has generated a total fair value, including unrealised investments and dividends to date, of £40.8 million (source: unaudited figures provided by the Manager*).

The Pembroke Portfolio

Pembroke has made a total of 29 investments up to 30 September 2017, which is also the date of the latest unaudited accounts. The current active portfolio consists of 27 investments, of which 26 have received funding wholly or in part from the B Ordinary Share class.

In total, £29.0 million has been invested at 30 September 2017 in the current portfolio constituents, split between £15.0 million in the Ordinary Share Pool and £14.0 million in the B Ordinary Share Pool (see table opposite).

Approximately 42% of the investments (by value) made to date are in businesses which are now trading profitably at the operating profit level.

All investments in the Ordinary Share Pool portfolio have been held for over twelve months and, therefore, have been revalued at fair value either based on the most recent follow‑on investment rounds or on valuation multiples applied to trading performance. The Ordinary Share Pool investments have increased in valuation to £20.8 million representing an overall "money multiple" including realisations of 1.4x to 30 September 2017 (source: unaudited figures provided by the Manager*). With the exception of KX U, Unbolted and Heist, all investments in the B Ordinary Share Pool portfolio have been held within the Pembroke portfolio for over twelve months and, therefore, have been revalued at fair value (unaudited) either based on the most recent follow‑on investment rounds or on valuation multiples applied to trading performance. Of those investments, the B Ordinary Share Pool investments have increased in value to £16.0 million representing an overall "money multiple" including realisations of 1.2x to 30 September 2017 (source: unaudited figures provided by the Manager*).

Part 1 – Board of Directors

The Board comprises three Directors, all of whom are non‑executive. Jonathan Djanogly and Laurence Blackall are independent of the Manager. The third Director, Peter Dubens, is a member of the Manager and is, therefore, not considered independent.

The Directors have already invested £1,150,000 in the Company.

Part 1 – Investment Policy

For the purposes of the VCT Rules, the Ordinary Share Pool of assets is already fully invested, while the B Ordinary Share Pool of assets is 65% invested. The B Ordinary Shares do not have any rights in relation to the Ordinary Share Pool and the assets in it (and likewise the Ordinary Shares do not have any rights in relation to the B Ordinary Share Pool and the assets in it); costs and expenses which relate to both pools will be allocated between the pools as the Board or the Manager believes most appropriate, which will generally be pro rata to the net asset value of the respective pools. The funds raised by the issue of B Ordinary Shares will be invested for the benefit of the B Ordinary Share Pool (to which the Ordinary Shares will have no economic rights under the Articles). Those funds will be invested in accordance with the Company's investment policy (and for the avoidance of doubt, assets of the Ordinary Share Pool and the B Ordinary Share Pool may be invested in the same underlying companies).

The current investment policy is set out below:

Investment Objectives

The Company will seek to invest in a diversified portfolio of smaller companies, principally unquoted companies but possibly also including stocks quoted on AIM or NEX, selecting companies which the Manager believes provide the opportunity for value appreciation. Pending investment in suitable Qualifying Investments, the Manager will invest in investments intended to generate a positive return, which may include funds, money market securities, gilts, listed securities and cash deposits. The Company will continue to hold up to 30% of its net assets in such products after it is fully invested under the VCT rules.

Investment Strategy

For its Qualifying Investments, the Company is expected to invest primarily in unquoted companies, although it may also invest in companies whose shares are traded on AIM or NEX. The Company will invest in a diverse range of businesses, predominantly those which the Manager considers are capable of organic growth and, in the long term, sustainable cash flow generation. It is likely that investment will be biased towards consumer‑facing businesses with an established brand or where brand development opportunities exist. The Company will invest in a small portfolio of carefully selected Qualifying Investments where the Manager should be able to exert influence over key elements of each investee company's strategy and operations. The companies may be at any stage in their development from start‑up to established businesses. It is anticipated that, at any time, up to 30% of investments will be held in Non‑Qualifying Investments (20% from 1 April 2020), recognising that no single investment will represent more than 15% of net assets (at the time of investment). Until suitable Qualifying Investments are identified, up to 30% of the net proceeds of any offer will be invested in certain money market securities, listed securities and cash deposits.

Asset Allocation

Qualifying Investment Portfolio

For its Qualifying Investments, the Company will invest primarily in companies whose shares are not traded on any exchange, although it may also invest in companies whose shares are traded on AIM or NEX, and will invest up to a maximum of 15% (at the time of investment) in any single Qualifying Investment. The Manager will seek to construct a portfolio comprising a diverse range of businesses. It is expected that a substantial proportion of the Qualifying Investments will be in the form of ordinary shares, and in some cases preference shares or loans.

Non‑Qualifying Investment Portfolio

Under current VCT legislation, the Company must have invested at least 70% of funds raised in Qualifying Investments within three years of the funds being raised. From 1 April 2020, this requirement will be 80%. However, this programme of investment in Qualifying Investments will take time to complete; thus in the first three years a considerable proportion of those funds will need to be invested elsewhere, in Non‑Qualifying Investments like certain money market securities, listed securities and cash deposits. At any time after the end of the three years of initial investment in Qualifying Investments, the Company will hold no more than 30% of its funds in Non‑Qualifying Investments. From 1 April 2020, this will be 20%.

The portfolio of Non‑Qualifying Investments will be managed with the intention of generating a positive return. Until suitable Qualifying Investments are identified, up to 30% of the net proceeds of any offer (20% from 1 April 2020) will be invested in other funds, with the balance being invested in other investments which may include certain money market securities, listed securities and cash deposits.

Risk Diversification

The Directors will control the overall risk of the portfolio by ensuring that the Company has exposure to a diversified range of unquoted companies, in particular, targeting a variety of sectors.

In order to limit concentration in the portfolio that is derived from any particular investment, at all times no more than 15% by value of the relevant share pool of the Company (at the time of investment) will be invested in any single company. In addition, no more than 10%, in aggregate, of the assets of the Company (at the time the investment is made) will be invested in other listed closed‑ended investment funds.

The Company may invest in a range of securities including, but not limited to, ordinary and preference shares, loan stocks and convertible securities, and other interest‑bearing securities. Unquoted Qualifying Investments will usually be structured as a combination of ordinary shares, preference shares and loans.

Part 1 – Investment Policy continued

Gearing

In common with other VCTs, whilst the Board do not intend for the Company to borrow funds, the Company is entitled to do so. Any borrowing would be subject to the aggregate principal amount outstanding at the time of borrowing not exceeding 25% of the value of the adjusted capital and reserves of the Company (being, in summary, the aggregate of the issued share capital, plus any amount standing to the

credit of the Company's reserves, deducting any distributions declared and intangible assets and adjusting for any variations to the above since the date of the relevant balance sheet).

Change in Investment Policy

Should a material change in the investment policy be deemed appropriate this will only be effected with the prior approval of Shareholders in accordance with the Listing Rules.

Part 1 – Other Information

Conflicts of Interest

The Manager, or any of its officers, employees, agents and affiliates and the Directors and any person or company with whom they are affiliated or by whom they are employed (each an "Interested Party") may be involved in other financial, investment or other professional activities which may cause conflicts of interest with the Company. An Interested Party will not be liable to account for any profit made in connection with these activities. For example, and without limitation, an Interested Party may:

deal or invest in any investment, whether or not for its own account and notwithstanding that similar investments may be held by the Company;
enter into or be interested in any financial or other transaction with any entity any of whose securities are held by or for the account of the Company;
allocate investment opportunities among the funds and accounts it manages in accordance with its internal policies; and
arrange for the Company to acquire investments from or dispose of investments to any Interested Party or any investment fund or account advised or managed by any such person.

In the event of a conflict of interest arising in relation to the above circumstances, or in any other circumstances, and so far as it is within their powers to do so, the Directors will

endeavour to ensure that it is resolved fairly and approved by the Independent Board in accordance with the Conflicts Policy as set out in the Manager's compliance manual. Where potential and actual conflicts of interest are identified, the Manager's compliance team will be notified and they will prepare a note, which will then be considered by and discussed with the Independent Board, with the aim of agreeing steps to resolve or otherwise manage such conflicts.

To the extent that the Company intends to invest in a company in which another fund managed by the Manager has invested or intends to invest, the investment must be approved by the Independent Board.

The Company's advisers may be involved in other financial, investment or other professional activities which may conflict with the interests of the Company.

When conflicts occur between the Manager and the Company because of other activities and relationships of the Manager, the Manager will ensure that the Company receives fair treatment. Such conflicts will be disclosed to the Company.

The Manager may make investments on behalf of the Company in collective investment vehicles of which it is manager or in companies where the Manager has been involved in the provision of services to those companies and may receive commissions, benefits, charges or advantage from so acting. Any fees arising in connection with investments made by the Company in any Oakley Funds will be discharged by the Manager. There will be no duplication of fees in such situations.

Part 1 – Other Information continued

Co‑Investment Policy

The Company expects to co‑invest with other vehicles managed by the Oakley Group and with the Directors and directors and members of the Management Team and the wider Oakley team (the "Oakley Investors"). The Directors believe that the Company should benefit from the enhanced deal flow and better prospects likely to be created as a result of the Company's ability to co‑invest in larger deals. Where the Manager identifies suitable opportunities for investment by the Company, the investment by the Company will be on the same terms as those accepted by other Oakley Investors, other than where the investment is a follow‑on to a pre‑existing investment. However, the Manager, in consultation with the Independent Board, will have the discretion to accept a different allocation of the investment opportunity to reflect considerations such as the remaining life of a company or fund, the requirement to achieve or maintain a minimum of 70% by value of a VCT's portfolio in Qualifying Investments or the availability of funds.

The B Ordinary Share Pool may invest in companies in which the Ordinary Share Pool is making an investment or has a current investment. If situations arise where the Company proposes to invest in the same companies as other funds managed by the Oakley Group, but at a different time or on different terms, any such proposed investment will require approval from the Independent Board.

No member of the Oakley Group is obliged to offer co‑investment opportunities to the Company.

The Board will be responsible for determining the Company's investment policy and will have overall responsibility for the Company's activities. In accordance with the Listing Rules, a material change in the investment policy of the Company will only be effected with the prior approval of Shareholders.

Post‑Investment Management

The Manager will monitor each investment regularly and will expect to meet with the management of investee companies on a regular basis.

As the values of underlying investments increase, the Manager will monitor opportunities for the Company to realise gains, and make tax free distributions to Shareholders. Under the Articles, the B Ordinary Shareholders have no economic rights to the assets in the Ordinary Share Pool and the Ordinary Shareholders have no economic rights over the B Ordinary Share Pool. Therefore, returns to the B Ordinary Shareholders will depend upon both the performance of the B Ordinary Share Pool and also the overall financial position of the

Company being sufficient to comply with any conditions to any distributions applied on a Company‑wide basis.

The Manager will advise the Company on the disposal of any underperforming investments if it believes that there is unlikely to be any capital appreciation in these investments in the short to medium term.

Valuation Policy

Investments in AIM and NEX‑traded shares will be valued at prevailing bid prices in the market, unless it is thought necessary to make any adjustment for illiquidity.

Investments in hedge funds and funds of hedge funds will be valued on the basis of net asset value per share as reported by the administrator of each fund held. These funds typically permit investors to redeem their shares at net asset value per share using the next valuation published after the redemption notice period (typically 30 days).

All other investments will be valued by the Directors on the recommendation of the Manager in accordance with International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation ("IPEVC") guidelines. IPEVC guidelines have replaced BVCA guidelines for investment companies investing in unquoted investments and reporting under FRS.

The underlying principle of FRS is that investments should be reported at fair value. Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's‑length transaction.

In estimating fair value for an investment, the methodology applied must be appropriate to the nature, facts and circumstances of the investment and its materiality based on reasonable assumptions and estimates. Such methodology, including earnings multiple, cost, cost less a provision or net assets, should be applied consistently.

The Manager will be responsible for determination and calculation of the net asset value of the Company in accordance with the policies set out above.

The Company announces its net asset value per Share quarterly through its annual reports, interim accounts and quarterly reports, which will be communicated to Shareholders through Regulatory Information Service announcements.

The calculation of the net asset value per Share will only be suspended in circumstances where the underlying data necessary to value the investments of the Company cannot readily, or without undue expenditure, be obtained. Details of any suspension in making such calculations will be announced through a Regulatory Information Service.

Part 1 – Investment Review

At the date of this document, the Company has investments in 27 companies across four sectors, investing £29 million. Whilst this review summarises those investments made, it should be borne in mind that some of these investments are ring‑fenced for the economic benefit of the Ordinary Shareholders and some are ring‑fenced for the B Ordinary Shareholders. The B Ordinary Share Pool may invest in follow‑on investments in businesses in which the Ordinary Share Pool has invested, and new opportunities which the Manager has identified.

Business description:

Second Home taps into the modern demand for flexible, modern and inspiring office space for start‑up and rapidly maturing technology and creative businesses. Engendering an atmosphere of innovation and collaboration, it allows young companies to enjoy an architecturally considered working environment that is flexible to their needs, with smaller floor plans and communal meeting spaces designed to fit their budgets during the early stages of growth. Second Home have found that larger corporates appreciate the atmosphere the site engenders and have located some of their teams in the new space available.

Their first site on Hanbury Street in East London is at full capacity and has expanded to add an additional 20,000 sq ft, utilising new equity funds raised at a premium in March 2015. The company chose Lisbon for its second site to take advantage of the thriving entrepreneurial sector in the city, with a further two London sites opening by Spring 2018.

Investment structure:

Ordinary equity.

Investment rationale:

Capitalises on emerging macro trend towards 'on‑demand' services being applied to commercial property successfully by US peers, generating highly favourable valuations at scale. WeWork, a US player in the space, raised \$430 million in March 2016 at a valuation of \$16 billion
Targets sectors being actively supported by the UK government, tying into the Techcity initiative for incubating smaller digital and knowledge‑intensive companies. Current tenants include younger businesses such as TaskRabbit, Artsyand Visualise, the virtual reality specialists, alongside teams from blue chip corporates including Ernst & Young and VW Financial Services
Property acquisition programme focuses on undervalued property which benefits from cost‑effective but stylish refurbishment, ensuring high yields relative to location and a favourable relationship with landlords

Post investment developments:

Follow‑on funding round in 2016 in response to the initial Hanbury Street site reaching capacity with a long waiting list of hopeful tenants
Tenant mix continues to diversify with a mixture of start‑ups, design houses, blue chip enterprises wishing to locate specific teams in a more entrepreneurial environment and 'contributors to the eco‑system' such as venture capitalists and app development agencies
US expansion under development with plans for a location in Los Angeles well advanced

It has a range of seven juices and in 2016 expanded its range to include four flavours of nut milk which have been well received by the wholesale and retail markets and are now stocked by several of the UK's major supermarket groups.

Investment structure:

Investment rationale:

Highly recognisable brand in the cold pressed juice space
Growing cold press juicing market in the UK, with the US market valued at \$5 billion growing at 4‑8% year on year
Prominent competitor to significant incumbent in UK nut milk space, a rapidly growing category for those seeking a non‑dairy milk option

Post investment developments:

Identified and contracted HPP (high pressure pasteurisation) contractor to increase shelf life of product without affecting taste or nutrient content
Built upon brand strength in cold pressed juices to introduce nut milks and other new products faster and seize critical market share in emerging categories. This allows Plenish to move towards its aim of being a broadly‑based healthy drinks brand

Pembroke participated in a rights issue in Summer 2017 resulting in a marginally increased stake in the company.

Investment structure:

Opportunity to combine immediate brand recognition with an innovative rage of womenswear targeting the affordable luxury design segment, a move widely anticipated by the fashion press
Proven pre‑launch interest from wholesalers across the globe including Galeries Lafayette, Kadewe, Lane Crawford, Net‑a‑Porter and Selfridges

Part 1 – The Manager, Management Arrangements and Costs

The Manager

Oakley Investment Managers LLP, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority to conduct investment business, is the manager of the Company under the terms of an investment management agreement entered into on 15 February 2013, novated to the Manager on 1 July 2014 and varied on 3 October 2014 and 1 December 2017 (the "IMA"). Pursuant to the IMA, the Manager provides discretionary and advisory investment management services to the Company in respect of its portfolio of investments. The Manager acts as the Alternative Investment Fund Manager to the Company.

Under the IMA, the Manager and the Company have agreed to fix the Annual Running Costs of the Company at 2.0% of the Company's net asset value (and to the extent that they exceeded that cap, the Manager would bear those costs). The Manager is entitled to an annual management fee of the amount by which the Annual Running Costs (other than the annual management fee) are less than 2.0%. It is therefore expected that the Annual Running Costs payable by the Company each year will be 2.0% of its net asset value. The annual management fee is payable quarterly in advance based on projected Annual Running Costs and subject to a final balancing adjustment payment either way. Assuming full subscription of £30 million of B Ordinary Shares (with the over‑allotment facility fully utilised), the Manager anticipates that the Annual Running Costs other than the annual management fee will be approximately 0.1% of net asset value. Annual Running Costs include the regular ordinary course of business running costs of the Company but do not include costs related to extraordinary events or significant discretionary corporate events, any Performance Fee payable and, in any rolling period of 12 months, does not include the lesser of "X" and the aggregate value of any fundraising costs, audit fees, administration, accounting and company secretarial costs, share registrars' fees, London Stock Exchange fees, printing and mailing costs in respect of the Audited Accounts, interim accounts and circulars to shareholders, fees in respect of regulatory announcements made through a Regulatory Information Service, corporate broking fees, insurance premiums and remuneration of the Board (including employers' national insurance contributions). For such time as the Net Asset Value of the Company is £100,000,000 or less, "X" is £350,000 and, for such time as the Net Asset Value of the Company exceeds £100,000,000, "X" is £500,000.

Performance Incentive Fees

As is customary in the venture capital industry, the Manager will receive a performance related Performance Fee when the Company has performed well and in order to ensure that the interests of the Manager and Shareholders are aligned and to provide a strong incentive to the Manager. The Performance Fee is calculated as 20% (exclusive of VAT) of any amounts distributed to Shareholders in excess of £1 per Share. The Performance Fee in relation to the return on the Ordinary Shares is subject to satisfaction of a hurdle which is that

Ordinary Shareholders have received in aggregate a return equivalent to at least 8% per annum per Share (calculated on a daily basis and not compounded) on the amount subscribed per Share (100 pence) as from 20 January 2014 in respect of Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the Launch Offer and from 31 March 2014 in respect of Ordinary Shares issued under the Top Up Offer. The Performance Fee in relation to the return on the B Ordinary Shares is subject to satisfaction of a hurdle which is that B Ordinary Shareholders have received in aggregate a return equivalent to at least 3% per annum per Share (calculated on a daily basis and not compounded) on the amount subscribed per Share (100 pence) as from (i) the date of the last allotment under the offer of B Ordinary Shares on the basis of the October 2014 prospectus in respect of shares issued under that prospectus or (ii) the date of the issue of the relevant B Ordinary Shares under any subsequent offer of B Ordinary Shares, and in either case up to the date of proposed payment of the relevant Performance Incentive Fee. Where, at the time of a distribution there have been previous distributions to the relevant class of Shareholders, for the purposes of determining if the hurdle on the relevant Shares has been met, the return will be calculated from the day after the previous distribution date for the relevant Shares on the total amount subscribed per relevant Share by Shareholders but reduced by the aggregate amount of such previous distributions made on the relevant Shares on a per Share basis. The Performance Fee will be calculated separately on the Ordinary Shares and the B Ordinary Shares.

Dividend Policy

Generally under the VCT Rules, a VCT must distribute by way of dividend such amount as to ensure that it retains not more than 15% of its income from shares and securities. The Directors aim to maximise tax free distributions to Shareholders by way of dividends paid out of income received and from capital gains received following successful realisations, subject to the requirements and best interests of the Company. All distributions are expected to be free of UK income tax to individuals aged 18 or over who acquire their shares within the annual £200,000 limit.

It should be noted that these VCT Rules apply on a Company‑wide basis. However, under the Articles, the Company will allocate the economic benefit from the two separate asset pools to the Ordinary Shares or to the B Ordinary Shares respectively. Therefore, if the Ordinary Share Pool assets produce income from shares and securities, that income will not be shared with the B Ordinary Shareholders and vice versa.

The Company paid a 3 pence per Share dividend to Ordinary Shareholders in September 2014, a 0.6 pence per Share dividend to Ordinary Shareholders in October 2015, a 2 pence per Share dividend to Ordinary Shareholders in October 2016, a 2 pence per Share dividend to Ordinary Shareholders in October 2017 and the intention is to pay a further 1 pence per Share dividend shortly after 5 April 2018.

Part 1 – The Manager, Management Arrangements and Costs continued

As anticipated, the B Ordinary Shareholders received their first dividend of 2 pence per Share in October 2016, with a further dividend of 2 pence per Share in October 2017.

The B Ordinary Share will target an annual dividend of 3 pence per Share and will also aim to pay special dividends where significant realisations occur from the sale of its portfolio assets. However, this is a target, and no forecast or projection should be implied or inferred.

Share buy‑back policy

Although it is anticipated that the Shares will be admitted to the premium segment of the Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's market for listed securities, there is likely to be an illiquid market and in such circumstances Shareholders may find it difficult to sell their Shares in the market. In order to try to improve the liquidity in the Shares, the Company will operate a share buy‑back policy. The Company may repurchase shares which Shareholders wish to sell, at a discount of no more than 5% to net asset value per Share, less transaction costs payable to market makers and stockbrokers, subject to the following. Any purchase of Shares will be subject to authority from Shareholders, the Listing Rules, having the necessary cash resources and distributable reserves available for the purchase and the Board believing it to be in the best interests of the Company at the relevant time. Shares bought back by the Company may be cancelled or held in treasury for later sale in the market. Shares which have not been held for five years are considered for tax purposes to be a disposal and, therefore, subject to clawback by HMRC of any upfront income tax reliefs obtained on subscription. Shareholders should seek professional advice in relation to any disposal of Shares. The Company has authorities to buy back up to 14.99% of its Ordinary Shares, and up to 14.99% of its B Ordinary Shares (both granted at the 2017 annual general meeting).

Reporting to Shareholders

The Directors believe that communication with Shareholders is important. In addition to announcements being released through a Regulatory Information Service, Shareholders will receive a copy of the Company's annual report and accounts (expected to be published in July each year) and a copy of the Company's interim results (expected to be published in November each year).

Corporate Governance

The section headed "Comply or Explain" in the UK Corporate Governance Code (the "Code") published by the Financial Reporting Council in April 2016 acknowledges that in relation to smaller listed companies some of the provisions of the Code will be disproportionate or less relevant and that externally managed investment companies typically have a board structure which may affect the relevance of certain of its provisions.

Accordingly, the Company will comply with all the provisions of the Code save that (i) new Directors do not receive a full, formal and tailored induction on joining the Board (such matters are addressed on an individual basis as they arise), but any newly appointed Director will be given a comprehensive introduction to the Company's business, including meeting the Company's advisers, and full details of duties and obligations are provided at the time of appointment and are supplemented by further details as necessary, (ii) the Company does not conduct a formal review as to whether there is a need for an internal audit function as the Directors do not consider that an internal audit would be an appropriate control for a venture capital trust and (iii) as all the Directors are non‑executive, it is not considered appropriate to appoint a nomination or remuneration committee. Peter Dubens, a Director of the Company, is also a member of the Audit Committee. Since he is a member with a majority interest in the Manager, he is not considered to be independent. However, the Independent Board believes that this relationship results in enhanced communication between the Company and the Manager as well as closer supervision of the Manager's performance. The Independent Board, therefore, believes that this appointment is to the advantage of the Company.

In view of its non‑executive nature and the requirements of the Articles that all Directors are subject to election by Shareholders at the first annual general meeting after their appointment and thereafter every third annual general meeting, the Board considers that it is not appropriate for the Directors to be appointed for a specific term as recommended by the Code.

In light of the responsibilities retained by the Board and the Audit Committee and of the responsibilities delegated to the Manager, Philip Hare & Associates LLP and the company secretary, the Company has not appointed a chief executive, deputy chairman or a senior independent non‑executive director.

Part 1 – The Manager, Management Arrangements and Costs continued

Status of the Company

The Company is unregulated although VCTs need to meet a number of conditions set out in tax legislation in order for tax reliefs to apply.

Taxation and HM Revenue & Customs approval

The Directors intend to manage the Company's affairs in order that it continues to comply with the legislation applicable to VCTs. In this regard Philip Hare & Associates LLP has been appointed to advise on tax matters generally and, in particular, on VCT status. HM Revenue & Customs has granted the Company approval as a VCT, and Philip Hare & Associates LLP will assist the Manager (but report directly to the Board) in monitoring progress towards achieving full VCT approval. Once full approval has been given, the Company must continue to satisfy the requirements of HM Revenue & Customs in relation to VCTs, or it is likely to lose full approval. The Company has received confirmation that the B Ordinary Shares will be regarded as VCT eligible shares.

Life of the Fund

Given the changes made to the VCT Rules in 2015 and the consequent shortage of 'evergreen' VCTs unaffected by the new rules, the Directors sought, and were granted, Shareholder approval to extend the life of the Fund on a rolling basis (such that it became 'evergreen' with no fixed termination date). However, the Directors intend to keep under review whether it is in the best interest of Shareholders for the fund to continue on a rolling basis.

Part 1 – Costs of the Offer, Annual Fees, Expenses and Offer Price

Costs of the Offer

Oakley will pay all the Company's costs and expenses of or incidental to the Offer and Admission (including commission payable to Kin Capital as Joint Promoter), in return for which it shall receive the Promoter Fee on the value of each application for B Ordinary Shares accepted by the Company.

With the exception of those Investors who make Early Applications, Oakley will be paid a Promoter Fee of 2.5% on accepted applications under the Offer (5.5% if Oakley is required to pay commission to an Intermediary).

In the case of Investors who make Early Applications (with no Intermediary commission) before 5.00 p.m. on 12 January 2018, Oakley will receive a fee of 1.5% except in those cases where the Applicants invest directly (which will attract a Promoter Fee of 3%).

Early Applications

Applications which are received and accepted as Early Applications will benefit from the Promoter Fee (as a percentage of the amount subscribed) being reduced by:

• 1% for valid applications received by 5.00 p.m. on 12 January 2018

The Company reserves the right (in consultation with the Manager and the Joint Promoters) to extend the deadline by which Applications must be received and accepted to be eligible for these reductions.

Annual Fees and Expenses

Under the IMA, the Manager and the Company have agreed to fix the Annual Running Costs of the Company (not including any performance incentive fee) at 2.0% of the Company's net asset value (and to the extent that they exceeded that cap, the Manager would bear those costs). The Manager is entitled to an annual management fee of the amount by which the Annual Running Costs (other than the annual management fee) are less than 2.0%. It is, therefore, expected that the Annual Running Costs payable by the Company each year will be 2.0% of its net asset value.

The City Partnership (UK) Limited provide certain administrative, accounting and company secretarial services to the Company for an annual fee (currently at a rate of £65,828 per annum (subject to increase by an amount equal to 0.05% of any further funds raised by the Company in any future share issues), plus VAT at the relevant rate, payable quarterly in advance and increases annually in line with RPI.

The Chairman is paid an annual fee of £20,000 and the other Directors are paid an annual fee of £15,000 each, amounting in aggregate to no more than £100,000 per annum.

The Company is also responsible for its normal third party costs including listing fees, audit and taxation services, legal fees, registrars' fees, directors' fees and other incidental costs (subject to the 2% cap agreed with the Manager as described above). It is expected that the Annual Running Costs (excluding the Manager's annual management fee), will be approximately 0.1% of the net asset value.

A maximum of 75% of the Company's management expenses will be capable of being charged against capital reserves with the balance charged against revenues.

Details of the Offer

It is proposed to raise in aggregate up to £30 million by means of the Offer, being the principal offer of £20 million and the over‑allotment facility of a further £10 million which may be utilised at the Board's discretion where it believes it is in the best interests of the Company to do so. Subscription amounts are payable in full, by cheque or bankers' draft or electronic transfer, on subscription. The Offer will open on 1 December 2017 and it is expected to remain open until 12.00 p.m. on 5 April 2018 in relation to the 2017/18 tax year, and until 5.00 p.m. on 28 June 2018 in relation to the 2018/19 tax year. The Offer may close in advance of these dates in the event that the maximum subscription is reached. The closing date of the Offer, and the deadline for receipt of applications for the final allotment with respect to the 2018/19 Offer, may be extended by the Directors at their absolute discretion to a date no later than 30 November 2018.

Investors must ensure that any subscriptions in relation to the 2017/18 tax year are received before 12.00 p.m. on 5 April 2018 and that subscriptions in relation to the 2018/19 tax year are made by separate cheque, bank transfer or bankers' draft before the closing date of the Offer.

The Offer is not underwritten. The maximum net proceeds of the Offer, assuming full subscription and a Promoter Fee on all such subscriptions of 2.5% (disregarding the over‑allotment facility) will be approximately £19,500,000. There is no minimum aggregate subscription below which the Offer will not proceed. The Company will pay Oakley a Promoter Fee on the value of accepted applications for B Ordinary Shares under the Offer.

The profile of a typical Investor is a UK tax resident individual who seeks a venture capital strategy focused on capital appreciation with sufficient income and capital available to be able to commit an investment in the Company for over five years and who is attracted by the income tax relief available for a VCT investment. Investors may include retail, institutional and sophisticated investors and high net‑worth individuals (however the decision to invest may be influenced by the availability of tax reliefs to such an Investor).

Part 1 – Costs of the Offer, Annual Fees, Expenses and Offer Price cont.

Applications will be accepted on a "first come, first served" basis (provided cheques are not post‑dated), subject always to the discretion of the Directors. If the Offer is over‑subscribed (or over‑subscribed after use of the over‑allotment facility), an Applicant's application may be rejected or may be accepted for fewer Shares than the number actually applied for. In these cases, the amount paid on application, or the balance, will be returned, without interest, by cheque sent through the post at the Applicant's risk to the address stated in the Applicant's Application Form. Investors are, therefore, encouraged to submit their Application Forms early in order to be confident that their subscriptions will be successful. Multiple applications are permitted.

The minimum application level under the Offer is £3,000. The maximum aggregate investment in all VCTs in any one tax year on which tax relief is available is £200,000 per Investor (spouses have separate limits and, therefore, together can invest up to £400,000 in aggregate in each tax year).

The Offer may not be withdrawn after dealings in the Shares have commenced. In the event of any requirement for the Company to publish a supplementary prospectus, Investors who have yet to be entered onto the Company's register of members will be given two days to withdraw from their subscription. Investors should note, however, that such withdrawal rights are a matter of law that is yet to be tested in the courts of England and Wales and Investors should, therefore, rely on their own legal advice in this regard. In the event that notification of withdrawal is given by post, such notification will be effected at the time the Investor posts such notification rather than at the time of receipt by the Company.

The full terms and conditions of application are set out in Part 6 of this document, together with an Application Form and details of the application procedure.

The Offer Price

The Offer Price will be calculated by reference to the most recently published net asset value of the existing B Ordinary Shares as at the date of allotment, adjusted for any dividend declared (and in respect of which no adjustment has been made to that net asset value) and for the costs of the Offer (rounded up to the nearest 1 pence). For further details see Part 7 of this document.

Allotment, Dealings and Settlement

Application has been made to the UK Listing Authority for the B Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Offer to be admitted to the premium listing on the Official List and to the London Stock Exchange for the Shares to be admitted to trading on its main market for listed securities.

It is intended that an initial allotment of Shares will be made on 15 January 2018. Successful applicants will be notified by post.

It is expected that the Admission of Shares will become effective, and that trading in those Shares will commence, within ten Business Days of their allotment.

Shares will be issued in registered form and will be freely transferable in both certificated and uncertificated form. It is anticipated that definitive share certificates will be issued within ten Business Days of each allotment.

Shares will be capable of being transferred by means of the CREST system. Investors who wish to take account of the ability to trade their Shares in uncertificated form (and who have access to a CREST account) may arrange through their professional adviser to convert their holding into dematerialised form.

Summary of Offer Costs and Charges payable by Investors

Promoter Fee	Advised	Execution only	Direct Investor (not an existing Shareholder)	Direct Investor (existing Shareholder)
1% Early application discount (until 12.01.18)	1.5%	4.5%	3%	1%
Normal application (after 12.01.18)	2.5%	5.5%	4%	2%

The Promoter Fee is paid by the Investor by means of a deduction from their sum submitted which is used to purchase B Ordinary Shares.

An Intermediary who has given advice to his client may ask that the payment of his fee be facilitated by the Company where the client has included the Intermediary's Adviser Charge in the sum remitted with the application. If this is the case, section 11 should be updated on the Application Form.

Part 1 – Costs of the Offer, Annual Fees, Expenses and Offer Price cont.

Commission

Commission is payable to Intermediaries by Oakley out of the Promoter Fee. Commission may be payable where there is an execution‑only transaction and no advice has been provided by the Intermediary to the Investor or where the Intermediary has demonstrated to the Joint Promoters that the Investor is a Professional Client of the Intermediary. Those Intermediaries who are permitted to receive commission will receive an initial commission of: i) up to 4.5% of the amount invested by their clients under the Offer in a single payment; or ii) up to 3% of the amount invested by their clients under the Offer initially and 0.5% each year thereafter for a maximum of four years.

	Advised (initial only)	Advised (initial and ongoing)	Execution only
Initial Intermediary fees
Initial advisory fees	up to 4.5% up to 3%		–
Commission available	–	–	up to 3%
Continuing annual fee
IFA advisory fee	–	up to 0.5%	–
Execution only commission	–	–	up to 0.5%

All figures in the above table are percentages of the sum remitted with the application less any Adviser Charges the payment of which is to be facilitated by the Company.

Additionally, provided that the Intermediary continues to act for the Investor and the Investor continues to be the beneficial owner of the B Ordinary Shares, and subject to applicable laws, regulations and FCA rules, the Company reserves the right to agree trail commission with Intermediaries on an individual basis up to 0.5% of the sum submitted per annum which is indirectly paid out of Oakley's annual management fees through a corresponding reduction in those management fees. Payment of the trail commission is Oakley's responsibility and is normally available for a period of up to four years.

Facilitation of Adviser Charges

Commission is not permitted to be paid to Intermediaries who provide a personal recommendation to UK retail clients on investments in VCTs. Instead of commission being paid by the Company, a fee will usually be agreed between the Intermediary and Investor for the advice and related services ("Adviser Charge"). This fee can either be paid directly by the Investor to the Intermediary or, the payment of such fee may be facilitated from the Investor's funds received by the Company. Ongoing fees to Intermediaries may be facilitated by the Company. If the payment of the Adviser Charge is to be facilitated by the Company, then the Investor is required to specify the amount of the charge on the Application Form (see Box 11). The Investor will be issued fewer B Ordinary Shares (to the equivalent value of the Adviser Charge) through the Pricing Formula. The Adviser Charge is inclusive of VAT, if applicable.

Dividend Investment Scheme

The Company has adopted a dividend investment scheme ("DIS") for Investors and existing Shareholders to reinvest any cash dividends received in further Shares. Investors wishing to participate in the DIS should tick Box 9 on the Application Form in respect of their existing Shares (if any) and their B Ordinary Shares applied for and issued to them under the Offer. Existing Shareholders wishing to participate in the DIS who are not applying for Shares under the Offer should contact The City Partnership (UK) Limited on 0131 243 7210 to request a DIS application form.

Part 2 – Taxation Considerations for Investors

1. Individual Shareholders

The following is a summary of the tax benefits available to VCTs and their individual shareholders who are either Qualifying Subscribers or Qualifying Purchasers.

The tax treatment of Investors in VCTs will depend on their individual circumstances. Investors who are in any doubt as to their tax position are recommended to take professional advice.

A number of tax benefits are available to individuals, aged 18 or over, who invest in shares in a VCT. The tax benefits available to those individuals are different, depending on whether the individual subscribes for shares or acquires shares otherwise than by way of subscription. There is also a limit (the Qualifying Limit) on the amount which, in any tax year, an individual may invest in VCTs which will qualify for any tax benefits. The current limit is £200,000 in any one tax year. It is, therefore, possible to invest £400,000 with an investment of £200,000 before 6 April 2018 for the tax year 2017/18 and £200,000 on or after 6 April 2018 for the tax year 2018/19. Spouses have separate limits and each, therefore, has an annual limit of £200,000 meaning that together spouses may invest up to £400,000 per tax year in aggregate.

Investments in ordinary shares in VCTs in excess of the Qualifying Limit will not be eligible for any tax benefits.

Set out below is a summary of the tax benefits available to Qualifying Subscribers and Qualifying Purchasers.

2. Qualifying Subscribers (not Qualifying Purchasers)

The tax relief is available on aggregate investments in VCTs of up to £200,000 in any one tax year. Where advantage is taken of this relief, a Qualifying Subscriber will be able to obtain total initial tax relief of up to 30% of the amount of his investment, as shown in the table below.

	No VCT tax relief	30% income tax relief
Initial investment	£100,000	£100,000
30% income tax relief	–	(£30,000)
Effective current cost of the investment	£100,000	£70,000

Maximum effect of initial tax relief

Relief from income tax up to 30% will be available on subscriptions for shares in a VCT, subject to the Qualifying Limit (currently £200,000 in each tax year). The relief, which will be available in the year of subscription, cannot exceed the amount which reduces the income tax liability of the Qualifying Subscriber in that year to nil. Relief may not be available if there is a loan linked with the investment.

Relief will not be available, or, where given, will be withdrawn, either in whole or in part, where there is any disposal (except on death) of the shares (or of an interest in them or right over them) before the end of the period of five years beginning with the date on which the shares were issued to the Qualifying Subscriber.

With effect from 6 April 2014 income tax relief is not available in respect of a subscription for shares in a VCT where the investor has sold shares in that VCT and the sale was conditional upon the subscription, or the subscription was conditional upon the sale, or the subscription was made within six months of the sale (before or after). This will also have effect in relation to a subscription for shares in a VCT which is deemed to be a successor or predecessor of the VCT because there has been a merger of VCTs, or a restructuring of a group of companies of which the VCT is a member. The measure will not affect subscriptions for shares where the monies being subscribed represent dividends which the investor has elected to reinvest.

Part 2 – Taxation Considerations for Investors continued

3. Qualifying Subscribers and Qualifying Purchasers

The reliefs below are only available on investments up to a maximum of £200,000 in VCTs in any one tax year.

3.1 Exemption from capital gains tax

Any gain or loss accruing to Qualifying Subscribers or Qualifying Purchasers on a disposal of shares in a company which was a VCT at the time he, or she, acquired the shares, and remained a VCT throughout his, or her, period of ownership, will neither be a chargeable gain, nor an allowable loss, for the purposes of capital gains tax.

3.2 Exempt dividend income

Dividend income will be exempt from tax. No tax credits will be repayable in respect of dividends paid.

3.3 Procedure for obtaining income tax reliefs available to Qualifying Subscribers

All Qualifying Subscribers will automatically be provided with certificates enabling them to claim income tax relief. The certificate will specify details of the shareholder, the date on which the shares were issued and the amount paid for the shares, and also will certify that the shares have been issued to a Qualifying Subscriber, and that certain other conditions are met to the best of the VCT's knowledge and belief. The relief may not be available unless the Qualifying Subscriber holds such a certificate.

The investor may use the certificate to claim income tax relief either by obtaining from HM Revenue & Customs an adjustment to his tax coding under the PAYE system or by waiting until the end of the tax year and using a Self Assessment Tax Return to claim the relief.

Dividends received on shares acquired in VCTs up to the qualifying maximum value of £200,000 per tax year need not be shown in the investor's Self Assessment Tax Return.

4. Loss of VCT Status

The following is a summary of the tax consequences for VCTs and their shareholders resulting from a loss of VCT status.

4.1 VCTs

Exemption from corporation tax on chargeable gains will not be available in relation to any gain realised after the VCT status is lost (and on any gain realised by the VCT if approval is deemed never to have been given).

4.2 Qualifying Subscribers

Income tax relief on investment

Where VCT approval is treated as never having been given, or where it is withdrawn before the shares have been held for five years, the relief will be withdrawn in full, and the Qualifying Subscriber will be assessed to tax in the tax year in which the relief was given on an amount equal to that relief. Interest on overdue tax may arise.

4.3 Qualifying Subscribers and Qualifying Purchasers

1. Exempt dividend income

Dividend income will not be exempt from tax if the dividend is paid in respect of profits or gains arising or accruing in any accounting period in which the VCT is not approved as such.

2. Exemption from capital gains

Where VCT approval is treated as never having been given, any gains and losses arising on a disposal of shares in the VCT will be taxable and allowable in the ordinary way. Where VCT approval is withdrawn at any time (whether or not the shares have been held for five years), the Qualifying Subscriber or the Qualifying Purchaser will be treated as having disposed of his shares immediately before the VCT ceased to be approved, for an amount equal to their market value at that time, and as having immediately reacquired them at that value. Thus, any capital gain up to that date will be exempt from tax, but any gains arising after that date will be taxable in the ordinary way.

Part 3 – Taxation of the Company

Qualifying as a VCT

1. In order to qualify as a VCT, a company must satisfy the following conditions in each accounting period:
i. it must be approved as a VCT by HM Revenue & Customs;
- ii. it must not be a close company;
iii. throughout the period, each class of its ordinary share capital has been quoted on any regulated market in the EU or European Economic Area;
iv. it must derive its income in the period wholly or mainly from shares or securities;
v. it must have at least 70% by value of its investments throughout the period in newly issued shares or securities (where the securities are not redeemable within five years of issue) comprised in Qualifying Holdings. From 1 April 2020, this requirement will increase to 80%. At least 70% by value of those Qualifying Holdings must be ordinary shares which carry no preferential rights to assets on a winding‑up nor any rights to be redeemed, although they may have certain preferential rights to dividends;
vi. it must have at least 10% by value of its investments in any Qualifying Company in ordinary shares which carry no preferential rights;
vii. it must have not more than 15% by value of its investments throughout the period in a single company or group (other than a VCT, or other similar company);
viii. it must generally not retain more than 15% of the income which it derives from shares and securities in the period;
ix. it must not make an investment in a company which causes that company to receive more than £5 million of State Aid investment (including from VCTs) in the twelve months ending on the date of the investment. From 6 April 2018, a company which is deemed to be a Knowledge Intensive Company may receive up to £10 million of State Aid investment in a twelve month period;
x. it must not return capital to shareholders before the third anniversary of the end of the accounting period during which the subscription for shares occurs;
xi. no investment made by the Company in a company which causes that company to receive more than £12 million (£20 million if the company is deemed to be a Knowledge Intensive Company) of State Aid investment (including from VCTs) over the company's lifetime;
xii. no investment can made by the Company in a company whose first commercial sale was more than seven years prior to the date of investment, except where previous Risk Finance State Aid was received by the company within those seven years or where a turnover test is satisfied;
xiii. no funds received from an investment into a company can be used to acquire another existing business or trade; and xiv. the VCT must not make a Non‑Qualifying Investment other than those specified in section 274 ITA 2007.
1. In order, however, to facilitate the launch of VCTs, there is a relaxation of some of these tests during the Company's first and, in the case of the test referred to in paragraph 1(v) above, up to the third accounting period (see below under the heading, "Approval as a VCT").

Qualifying Holdings

1. A Qualifying Holding consists of shares in, or securities of, a Qualifying Company (see below under heading "Qualifying Companies" for further details). A Qualifying Company must:
i. be unquoted (which will, in the case of a company which was unquoted at the time of the VCT's investment, be deemed to be the case for a further five years after the company ceases to be unquoted). Companies whose shares are traded on AIM or NEX are treated as unquoted.
ii. have gross assets of £15 million or less immediately pre‑investment and £16 million or less immediately post investment (in the case of companies which have Qualifying Subsidiaries (see below), the test is applied on a group basis);
iii. must have a permanent establishment in the UK;
iv. not be able to control (whether on its own or together with a connected person) any company which is not a Qualifying Subsidiary;
v. not be controlled by another company (on its own or together with a connected person);
vi. have fewer than 250 employees immediately pre‑investment (500 for a Knowledge Intensive Company); and
vii. not have any property managing subsidiaries which do not fall into the definition of relevant Qualifying Subsidiaries (see below).

Part 3 – Taxation of the Company continued

The company's first commercial sale must be no more than seven years before the VCT's investment (ten years for a Knowledge Intensive Company) prior to the date of investment, except where previous Risk Finance State Aid was received by the company within those seven years or where a turnover test is satisfied. Funds received from an investment by a VCT cannot be used to acquire another existing business or trade.

Qualifying Investments are limited to aggregate investments of £5 million in the twelve months ending on the date of the investment (from 6 April 2018, £10 million for a Knowledge Intensive Company) and £12 million in total (£20 million for a Knowledge Intensive Company).

Qualifying Companies

1. A Qualifying Company is a company which exists to carry on one or more Qualifying Trades (see below) or is the parent of a trading group, where each of its subsidiaries is a Qualifying Subsidiary and the group as a whole is not engaged in non‑qualifying activities (see below).
1. For the purposes of the Qualifying Holdings test in paragraph 3(iv) above, a subsidiary will be a relevant Qualifying Subsidiary if at least 90% of its issued share capital and its voting power is directly owned by the Qualifying Company or by a wholly owned Qualifying Subsidiary. A relevant Qualifying Subsidiary can also be a wholly owned subsidiary of a 90% owned subsidiary. Certain other tests as to the distribution of the subsidiary's profits and assets on a winding‑up must also be satisfied.
1. In the case of the Qualifying Holdings test in paragraph 3(iv) above, a subsidiary will be a Qualifying Subsidiary if the majority of its issued share capital is owned by the Qualifying Company and the other tests are also satisfied.
1. A trade will be a Qualifying Trade only if it does not to a substantial extent include non‑qualifying activities (non‑qualifying activities include dealing in land or shares, providing financial services or activities which are largely land‑based, such as farming, hotels and nursing homes). In the case of a company which is preparing to carry on a Qualifying Trade, the Qualifying Trade must begin within two years of the issue to the VCT of the shares or securities, and must continue thereafter.

Approval as a VCT

1. A VCT must be approved as such at all times by HM Revenue & Customs. Approval has effect from the time specified in the approval, which cannot be earlier than the time at which the application for approval is made.
1. A VCT cannot be approved until the relevant tests (see above under the heading, "Qualifying as a VCT") have been satisfied throughout the most recent complete accounting period of the VCT and HM Revenue & Customs is satisfied that the tests will be satisfied in relation to the accounting period of the VCT which is current at the time the application is made.
1. However, in order to facilitate the launch of VCTs, HM Revenue & Customs may grant provisional approval to a VCT, notwithstanding that not all the relevant tests are satisfied at the time of the application, provided that HM Revenue & Customs is satisfied that the tests will be satisfied within a certain period. In particular, HM Revenue & Customs may grant provisional approval if it is satisfied that:
i. the relevant tests in paragraphs 1(iii), 1(iv), and 1(vii) to 1(xiv) under the heading, "Qualifying as a VCT" above will either be satisfied in the accounting period current when the application for approval is made or the following accounting period;
ii. the relevant test in paragraphs 1(v) under the heading, "Qualifying as a VCT" above, will be satisfied in relation to any accounting period beginning not more than three years after the time when approval is given, or if earlier, when it has effect; and
iii. the relevant tests in paragraphs 1(iii) to 1(xiv) under the heading, "Qualifying as a VCT" above, will continue to be satisfied in all subsequent accounting periods.
1. The Company has been granted provisional approval as a VCT effective from admission of the Ordinary Shares to the Official List and to trading on the main market of the London Stock Exchange. The Company has received provisional approval from HM Revenue & Customs that the new B Ordinary Shares will be regarded as eligible shares.

Withdrawal of approval

1. Approval as a VCT may be withdrawn by HM Revenue & Customs if the relevant tests (see above under the heading, "Approval as a VCT") are not satisfied. Withdrawal of approval generally has effect from the time when notice of withdrawal 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 the tests were satisfied. The actions proposed to be taken by the Company in the case of a withdrawal of approval will be announced through a regulatory information service.
1. Where provisional approval is withdrawn, approval is deemed to have never been given. The taxation consequences of approval being deemed to have never been given are set out above under the heading "Loss of VCT status".

Part 4 – Additional Information

1. The Company

1.1 The Company was incorporated and registered in England and Wales on 26 November 2012 under the name Pembroke VCT 2 plc with registered number 08307631 as a public company limited by shares under the CA 2006. On 28 November 2012 the name of the Company was changed to Pembroke VCT plc. The principal legislation under which the Company operates, and under which the Shares have been created, is the CA 2006 and the regulations made thereunder. The Company is not regulated to conduct investment business under the FSMA, and is neither regulated nor authorised by any particular regulatory authority. By virtue of the fact the Company is a VCT it will be subject to the regulations of HMRC, the CA 2006, the UKLA and other relevant regulations and legislation.
1.2 On 28 November 2012 the Registrar of Companies issued the Company with a certificate under section 761 of the CA 2006. On 28 November 2012 the Company gave notice to the Registrar of Companies of its intention to carry on business as an investment company under section 833 of the CA 2006.

2. Share capital

2.1 The Company was incorporated with two ordinary shares of 1 pence each issued fully paid to the subscribers to the memorandum of the Company (the "Subscriber Shares") which are held by HK Nominees Limited and HK Registrars Limited.
2.2 The following resolutions were passed by the Company at a general meeting held on 5 January 2017:
2.2.1 that the Directors of the Company be authorised to allot B Ordinary Shares up to an aggregate nominal value of £250,000 in connection with the offer(s) for subscription and further amounts up to an aggregate nominal amount representing 10% of the issued Ordinary Share and B Ordinary Share capital of the Company from time to time, such authority expiring on 4 April 2018 unless revoked, varied or extended by the Company in general meeting;
2.2.2 that the pre‑emption rights in respect of the above allotments be disapplied; and

3.Articles of Association

3.1 The articles of association of the Company provide that its principal object is to carry on the business of a venture capital trust and that the liability of members is limited.
3.2 The articles contain provisions to the following effect:

3.2.1 Voting Rights

Subject to any disenfranchisement as provided in paragraph 3.2.5 below and subject to any special terms as to voting on which any shares may be issued, on a show of hands every member present in person (or being a corporation, present by authorised representative) shall have one vote and, on a poll, every member who is present in person or by proxy shall have one vote for every share of which he is the holder. The shares shall rank pari passu as to rights to attend and vote at any general meeting of the Company.

3.2.2 Rights attaching to the different share classes

Under the Articles, the Company has two share classes, the Ordinary Shares and the B Ordinary Shares.

Each Ordinary and B Ordinary share shall have one vote on a poll and the right to vote on any matter of general relevance of application to the Company. The Ordinary Shares and the B Ordinary Shares also separately carry the right to vote on matters affecting their own class.

The Company shall identify which assets and liabilities of the Company belong to the Ordinary Share Pool and the B Ordinary Share Pool at the date of adoption of the Articles and thereafter going forward shall maintain separate records and accounts for each of those pools.

Initially, the B Ordinary Share Pool will consist of the net proceeds of the B Ordinary Share issue and thereafter the investments made by the Company for the B Ordinary Share Pool using those proceeds.

Costs and expenses which relate solely to one pool or the other will be allocated solely to that pool. Costs and expenses which relate to both pools will be allocated between the pools as the Board or the Manager believes most appropriate, which will generally be pro rata to the net asset value of the respective pools. Dividends to Ordinary Shareholders may only be paid out of the Ordinary Share Pool and dividends to B Ordinary Shareholders may only be paid out of the B Ordinary Share Pool.

Ordinary Shareholders have the right to the assets in the Ordinary Share Pool and B Ordinary Shareholders have the right to the assets in the B Ordinary Share Pool, whether on a winding‑up, return of capital or other distribution.

The Articles provide that the special reserve created by the cancellation of the share premium account in March 2014 following the launch of the Company shall be available to be used and/or allocated between the Ordinary Shares and the B Ordinary Shares, provided that there is no actual transfer of cash or investment assets between the two share classes as a result.

3.2.3 Transfer of Shares

Subject to paragraph 3.2.15 below, the Shares are in registered form and will be freely transferable. All transfers of Shares must be effected by a transfer in writing in any usual form or any other form approved by the Directors. The instrument of transfer of a Share shall be executed by or on behalf of the transferor and, in the case of a partly paid share by or on behalf of the transferee. The Directors may refuse to register any transfer of a partly paid Share, provided that such refusal does not prevent dealings taking place on an open and proper basis and may also refuse to register any instrument of transfer unless:

3.2.3.1 it is duly stamped (if so required), is lodged at the Company's registered office or with its registrars or at such other place as the Directors may appoint and is accompanied by the certificate for the shares to which it relates and such other evidence as the Directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer and the due execution by him of the transfer;
3.2.3.2 it is in respect of only one class of share;
3.2.3.3 the transferees do not exceed four in number; and
3.2.3.4 if it is in respect of a Share on which the Company does not have a lien.

3.2.4 Dividends

The Company may in general meeting by ordinary resolution declare dividends in accordance with the respective rights of the members, provided that no dividend shall be payable in excess of the amount recommended by the Directors. The Directors may pay such interim dividends as appear to them to be justified. No dividend or other monies payable in respect of a Share shall bear interest as against the Company. There are no fixed dates on which entitlement to a dividend arises.

All dividends unclaimed for a period of six years after being declared or becoming due for payment shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Company.

The Ordinary Shareholders shall be entitled to dividend payments from the Ordinary Share Pool but not the B Ordinary Share Pool of assets. The B Ordinary Shareholders shall be entitled to dividend payments from the B Ordinary Share Pool but not the Ordinary Share Pool of assets.

3.2.5 Disclosure of Interest in Shares

If any member or other person appearing to be interested in shares of the Company is in default in supplying within 42 days (or 28 days where the shares represent at least 0.25% of its share capital) after the date of service of a notice requiring such member or other person to supply to the Company in writing all or any such information as is referred to in section 793 of the CA 2006, the Directors may, for such period as the default shall continue, impose restrictions upon the relevant shares.

The restrictions available are the suspension of voting or other rights conferred by membership in relation to meetings of the Company in respect of the relevant shares and additionally in the case of a shareholder representing at least 0.25% by nominal value of any class of shares of the Company then in issue, the withholding of payment of any dividends on, and the restriction of transfer of, the relevant shares.

3.2.6 Distribution of Assets on Liquidation

On a winding‑up any surplus assets of the Company will be divided amongst the holders of its Shares according to the respective numbers of Shares held by them in the Company and in accordance with the provisions of the CA 2006, subject to the rights of any shares which may be issued with special rights or privileges. The articles of association provide that the liquidator may, with the sanction of a resolution and any other sanction required by the CA 2006, divide amongst the members in specie the whole or any part of the assets of the Company in such manner as he may determine.

The Ordinary Shares shall have the right to the net assets attributable to the Ordinary Share Pool on a pro rata basis relative to the number of Ordinary Shares held. The B Ordinary Shares shall have the right to the net assets attributable to the B Ordinary Share Pool on a pro rata basis relative to the number of B Ordinary Shares held.

3.2.7 Changes in Share Capital

3.2.7.1 Without prejudice to any rights attaching to any existing shares, any share may be issued with such rights or restrictions as the Company may by ordinary resolution determine or in the absence of such determination, as the Directors may determine. Subject to the CA 2006, the Company may issue shares, which are, or at the option of the Company or the holder are, liable to be redeemed.
3.2.7.2 The Company may by ordinary resolution increase its share capital, consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into shares of larger amounts, sub‑divide its shares or any of them into shares of smaller amounts, or cancel or reduce the nominal value of any shares which have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person and diminish the amount of its share capital by the amount so cancelled or the amount of the reduction.
3.2.7.3 Subject to the CA 2006, the Company may by special resolution reduce its share capital, any capital redemption reserve and any share premium account, and may also, subject to the CA 2006 (and by resolution of the holders of the shares repurchased where such shares are convertible shares), purchase its own shares.

3.2.8 Special Reserve

The Articles provide for the special reserve resulting from the cancellation of the Company's share premium account on 26 March 2014 following the initial Ordinary Share issue to be available for use in relation to dividends on and share buy‑backs of all share classes of the Company, including the B Ordinary Shares.

3.2.9 Variation of Rights

Whenever the capital of the Company is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class may (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of that class) be varied or abrogated either with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than three‑fourths of the nominal amount of the issued shares of the class or with the sanction of a resolution passed at a separate meeting of such holders.

3.2.10 Directors

Unless and until otherwise determined by the Company in general meeting the number of Directors shall not be less than two or more than ten. The continuing Directors may act notwithstanding any vacancy in their body, provided that if the number of the Directors be less than the prescribed minimum the remaining Director or Directors shall forthwith appoint an additional Director or additional Directors to make up such minimum or shall convene a general meeting of the Company for the purpose of making such appointment.

Any Director may in writing under his hand appoint (a) any other Director, or (b) any other person who is approved by the Board of Directors to be his alternate. A Director may at any time revoke the appointment of an alternate appointed by him. Every person acting as an alternate Director shall be an officer of the Company, and shall alone be responsible to the Company for his own acts and defaults, and he shall not be deemed to be the agent of or for the Director appointing him.

Subject to the provisions of the CA 2006, the Directors may from time to time appoint one or more of their body to be Managing Director or Joint Managing Directors of the Company or to hold such other executive office in relation to the management of the business of the Company as they may decide.

A Director of the Company may continue or become a Director or other officer, servant or member or any company promoted by the Company or in which it may be interested as a vendor shareholder, or otherwise, and no such Director shall be accountable for any remuneration or other benefits derived as director or other officer, servant or member of such company.

The Directors may from time to time appoint a president of the Company (who need not be a Director of the Company) and may determine his duties and remuneration and the period for which he is to hold office.

The Directors may from time to time provide for the management and transaction of the affairs of the Company in any specified locality, whether at home or abroad, in such manner as they think fit.

3.2.11 Directors' Interests

3.2.11.1 A Director who is in any way, directly or indirectly, interested in a transaction or arrangement with the Company shall, at a meeting of the Directors, declare, in accordance with the CA 2006, the nature of his interest.
3.2.11.2 Provided that he has declared his interest in accordance with paragraph 3.2.11.1, a Director may be a party to or otherwise interested in any transaction or arrangement with the Company or in which the Company is otherwise interested and may be a director or other officer or otherwise interested in any body corporate promoted by the Company or in which the Company is otherwise interested. No Director so interested shall be accountable to the Company, by reason of his being a Director, for any benefit that he derives from such office or interest or any such transaction or arrangement.
3.2.11.3 A Director shall not vote nor be counted in the quorum at a meeting of the Directors in respect of a matter in which he has any material interest otherwise than by virtue of his interest in shares, debentures or other securities of, or otherwise in or through the Company, unless his interest arises only because the case falls within one or more of the following paragraphs:
3.2.11.3.1 the giving to him of any guarantee, security or indemnity in respect of money lent or an obligation incurred by him at the request of or for the benefit of the Company or any of its subsidiary undertakings;
3.2.11.3.2 the giving to a third party of any guarantee, security or indemnity in respect of a debt or an obligation of the Company or any of its subsidiary undertakings for which he has assumed responsibility in whole or in part under a guarantee or indemnity or by the giving of security;
3.2.11.3.3 any proposal concerning the subscription by him of shares, debentures or other securities of the Company or any of its subsidiary undertakings or by virtue of his participating in the underwriting or sub‑underwriting of an offer of such shares, debentures or other securities;
3.2.11.3.4 any proposal concerning any other company in which he is interested, directly or indirectly, whether as an officer or shareholder or otherwise, provided that he does not to his knowledge hold an interest in shares representing 1% or more of any class of the equity share capital of such company or of the voting rights available to members of the company;
3.2.11.3.5 any proposal relating to a superannuation fund or retirement benefits scheme which either relates to both employees and Directors of the Company or has been approved by or is subject to and conditional upon approval by the Board of Inland Revenue for taxation purposes;
3.2.11.3.6 any proposal relating to an arrangement for the benefit of the employees of the Company or any subsidiary undertaking which does not award to any Director as such any privilege or advantage not generally awarded to the employees to whom such arrangement relates; and
3.2.11.3.7 any arrangement for purchasing or maintaining for any officer or auditor of the Company or any of its subsidiaries insurance against any liability which by virtue of any rule of law would otherwise attach to him in respect of any negligence, breach of duty or breach of trust for which he may be guilty in relation to the Company or any of its subsidiaries of which he is a director, officer or auditor.
3.2.11.4 When proposals are under consideration concerning the appointment of two or more Directors to offices or employment with the Company or any company in which the Company is interested, the proposals may be divided and considered in relation to each Director separately and (if not otherwise precluded from voting) each of the Directors concerned shall be entitled to vote and be counted in the quorum in respect of each resolution except that concerning his own appointment.

3.2.12 Remuneration of Directors

3.2.12.1 Subject to paragraph 3.2.12.3 below, the ordinary remuneration of the Directors shall be such amount as the Directors shall from time to time determine (provided that unless otherwise approved by the Company in general meeting the aggregate ordinary remuneration of such Directors, including fees from the Company, shall not exceed £100,000 per year) to be divided among them in such proportion and manner as the Directors may determine. The Directors shall also be paid by the Company all reasonable travelling, hotel and other expenses they may incur in attending meetings of the Directors or general meetings or otherwise in connection with the discharge of their duties.
3.2.12.2 Any Director who, by request of the Directors, performs special services for any purposes of the Company may be paid such reasonable extra remuneration as the Directors may determine.

3.2.12.3 The emoluments and benefits of any executive Director for his services as such shall be determined by the Directors and may be of any description, including membership of any pension or life assurance scheme for employees or their dependants or, apart from membership of any such scheme, the payment of a pension or other benefits to him or his dependants on or after retirement or death.

3.2.13 Retirement of Directors

A Director shall also retire from office at or before the third annual general meeting following the annual general meeting at which he last retired and was re‑elected. A retiring Director shall be eligible for re‑election. A Director shall be capable of being appointed or re‑appointed a Director despite having attained any particular age.

3.2.14 Borrowing Powers

Subject as provided below, the Directors may exercise all the powers of the Company to borrow money and to mortgage or charge its undertaking, property and uncalled capital.

The Company's power to borrow money is subject to the aggregate principal amount outstanding not exceeding 25% of the value of the adjusted capital and reserves of the Company (being, in summary, the aggregate of the issued share capital, plus any amount standing to the credit of the Company's reserves, deducting any distributions declared and intangible assets and adjusting for any variations to the above since the date of the relevant balance sheet). The test shall be the aggregate principal amount outstanding at the time of borrowing rather than from time to time.

3.2.15 Uncertificated Shares

CREST, a paperless settlement system enabling securities to be evidenced otherwise than by a certificate and transferred otherwise than by a written instrument, was introduced in July 1996. The Articles are consistent with CREST membership and allow for the holding and transfer of shares in uncertificated form pursuant to the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001. The new B Ordinary Shares to be issued under the Offers have been made eligible for settlement in CREST.

3.2.16 General Meetings

Annual general meetings shall be held at such time and place as may be determined by the Directors and not more than fifteen months shall elapse between the date of one annual general meeting and that of the next.

The Directors may, whenever they think fit, convene a general meeting of the Company, and general meetings shall also be convened on such requisition or in default may be convened by such requisitions as are provided by the CA 2006. Any meeting convened by requisitions shall be convened in the same manner as near to as possible as that in which meetings are to be convened by the Directors.

An annual general meeting shall be called by not less than twenty‑one days' notice in writing, and all other general meetings of the Company shall be called by not less than fourteen days' notice in writing. The notice shall be exclusive of the day on which it is given and of the day of the meeting and shall specify the place, the day and hour of meeting, and in case of special business the general nature of such business. The notice shall be given to the members, other than those who, under the provisions of the articles or the terms of issue of the shares they hold, are not entitled to receive notice from the Company, to the Directors and to the Auditor. A notice calling an annual general meeting shall specify the meeting as such and the notice convening a meeting to pass a special resolution or an ordinary resolution as the case may be shall specify the intention to propose the resolution as such.

In every notice calling a meeting of the Company or any class of the members of the Company there shall appear with reasonable prominence a statement that a member entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend and, on a poll, vote instead of him, and that a proxy need not also be a member.

If within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting, if convened by or upon the requisition of members, shall be dissolved. In any other case it shall stand adjourned to such time (being not less than fourteen days and not more than twenty‑eight days hence) and at such place as the Chairman shall appoint. At any such adjourned meeting the member or members present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote shall have power to decide upon all matters which could properly have been disposed of at the meeting from which the adjournment took place.

The Company shall give not less than ten clear days' notice of any meeting adjourned for the want of a quorum and the notice shall state that the member or members present as aforesaid shall form a quorum.

The Chairman may, with the consent of the meeting (and shall, if so directed by the meeting) adjourn any meeting from time to time and from place to place. No business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business left unfinished at the meeting from which the adjournment took place.

4.Directors and Other Interests in the Company

4.1 DTR 5 of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules requires a Shareholder to notify the Company of the percentage of its shares he holds if such percentage reaches, exceeds or falls below 3% or subsequent 1% thresholds. The Company will make such information public through a Regulatory Information Service. With the exception of Roy Nominees Limited, which as at 30 November 2017, being the last practicable date prior to publication of this document, holds 3,534,000 Ordinary Shares and UBS Private Banking Nominees Limited which, as at 30 November 2017 holds 4,503,400 B Ordinary Shares (being approximately 19.5% and 17.7% of the issued Ordinary and B Ordinary share capital of the Company respectively), neither the Company nor the Directors are aware of any person who, not being a member of its administrative, management or supervisory bodies, as at the date of this document or immediately after the Offer (assuming full subscription), directly or indirectly, jointly or severally, exercises or could exercise control over the Company or who is interested directly or indirectly in 3% or more of the issued share capital of the Company.
4.2 The interests of the Directors and their immediate families in the share capital of the Company, all of which are beneficial, as they are expected to be following the Offer, and of persons connected to the Directors and their immediate families and the existence of which is known to, or could with reasonable diligence, be ascertained by that Director will be as set out below together with the percentages which such interests represent of the Shares in issue assuming that the Offer is fully subscribed (with the over‑allotment facility being utilised in full), a Promoter Fee of 2.5% on all such subscriptions at an Offer Price of 103.27 pence per B Ordinary Share:

Director	Number of Ordinary Shares	Percentage of Ordinary Shares in issue	Number of B Ordinary Shares	Percentage of B Ordinary Shares in issue
Peter Dubens	400,000	2.2%	586,689	1.1%
Laurence Blackall	200,000	1.1%	100,000	0.2%
Jonathan Djanogly	25,000	0.1%	25,000	0.0%

All the Ordinary Shares have the same rights relative to each other and all the B Ordinary Shares have the same rights relative to each other and there are no different rights attaching to the Shares held by the Directors within the relevant class attaching to the Shares in the table above.

4.3 Save as disclosed above, no Director nor any person connected with any Director has any interest in the share capital or loan capital of the Company whether beneficial or non‑beneficial and no shares in the capital of the Company are being reserved for allocation to existing Shareholders or Directors.
4.4 The Company's major shareholders do not have different voting rights.
4.5 Peter Dubens has a controlling interest in Oakley and is also a member of the Manager (holding a majority of the membership interest). As the investment manager of the Company, the Manager is a related party for the purposes of the Listing Rules of the FCA. By virtue of Oakley being an associate of Peter Dubens for the purposes of the Listing Rules, any transactions between the Manager and the Company, or Oakley and the Company, are potentially related party arrangements.
4.6 No Director is or has since the period from the Company's incorporation 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 and remains in any respect outstanding or unperformed.
4.7 No loans made or guarantees granted or provided by the Company to or for the benefit of any Director are outstanding.
4.8 There are no service contracts in existence between the Company and any of its Directors nor are any such contracts proposed. The services of the Directors are provided to the Company pursuant to letters of appointment dated 15 February 2013 each of which is terminable upon three months' notice given by the Company to expire at any time on or after the date 15 months from the date of the relevant letter, and which are summarised at paragraph 5.7 below. All the Directors are non‑executive. Save in respect of these letters of appointment, no member of any administrative, management or supervisory body has a service contract with the Company.
4.9 There are no family relationships between any of the Directors or members of the Manager or between any of the Directors and the members of the Manager.

5.4 Investment Management Agreement

An agreement (the "IMA") dated 15 February 2013 and made between the Company and the Original Manager whereby the Original Manager agreed to provide discretionary investment management and advisory services to the Company in respect of its portfolio of Qualifying Investments and Non‑Qualifying Investments. On 1 July 2014 the IMA was novated to the Manager and on 3 October 2014 and 1 December 2017 the IMA was varied.

The Manager has agreed to act as Alternative Investment Fund Manager to the Company.

The Manager has agreed with the Company that it will indemnify the Company if the total Annual Running Costs of the Company are more than 2% of net asset value. Otherwise the Manager will receive an annual management fee only if, and to the extent that, the Annual Running Costs (disregarding any annual management fee payable) amount to less than 2% of the Company's NAV. In such a case the management fee (exclusive of VAT) will be payable quarterly in advance. The Manager is also entitled to reimbursement of expenses incurred in performing its obligations.

The Manager will also receive a performance fee (exclusive of VAT) of 20% of any amounts distributed to Shareholders in excess of £1 per Share (the "Performance Fee"). As amended by the Investment Management Agreement Amendment Agreement in paragraph 5.5 below the Performance Fee is calculated separately on the Ordinary Shares and the B Ordinary Shares and the Performance Fee on the Ordinary Shares is conditional on Ordinary Shareholders having received a return of 8% per annum per Share (calculated on a daily basis and not compounded) on the amount subscribed per Ordinary Share as from 20 January 2014 in respect of the Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the Launch Offer and from 31 March 2014 in respect of Ordinary Shares issued under the Top Up Offer. A 3% hurdle rate applies in relation to the Performance Fee in respect of amounts paid to B Ordinary Shareholders. Where, at the time of a distribution there have been previous distributions to the Ordinary Shareholders, the return will be calculated from the day after the previous distribution date on the total amount subscribed per Share by Shareholders but reduced by the aggregate amount of such previous distributions made on a per Share basis. For the purposes of calculating performance related incentive fees, account will be taken of all forms of distributions that may be made by the Company and as well as dividends, will include share buy‑backs, proceeds on a sale or liquidation of the Company and any other proceeds or value received or deemed to be received by Shareholders (excluding any income tax relief on subscription).

The Manager is entitled to receive and retain entirely for its own use and benefit all other transaction fees, directors' fees, monitoring fees, consultancy fees, corporate finance fees, introductory fees, syndication fees, exit fees, commissions and refunds of commission received by the Manager in connection with the management of the investment portfolio of the Company.

The appointment will continue until terminated on twelve months' notice in writing given by either party at any time after the tenth anniversary of the commencement date. The IMA is subject to earlier termination by either party in certain circumstances.

Any fees arising in connection with investments made by the Company in Oakley Funds (if any) will be discharged by the Manager. There will be no duplication of fees in such situations.

5.5 Investment Management Agreement Amendment Agreement

On 3 October 2014, the Manager and the Company entered into an amendment agreement to the IMA (as further revised on 1 December 2017) providing the following (the "Investment Management Agreement Amendment Agreement"):

(a) the Performance Fee (as described in paragraph 5.4 above) would be applied on the B Ordinary Shares on the same basis as on the Ordinary Shares but with a hurdle rate of 3% per annum; and
(b) the Manager agreed formally to act as Alternative Investment Fund Manager to the Company.

5.6 Investment Management Agreement Further Amendment Agreement

On 1 December 2017, the Manager and the Company entered into a further amendment agreement to the IMA (the "Investment Management Agreement Further Amendment Agreement") providing that the definition of Annual Running Costs be amended so that it also excludes auditors' fees, administration, accounting and company secretarial costs, share registrars' fees, London Stock Exchange fees, printing and mailing costs in respect of the Audited Accounts, interim accounts and circulars to shareholders, fees in respect of regulatory announcements made through a Regulatory Information Service, corporate broking fees, insurance premiums, and remuneration of the Board (including employers' national insurance contributions) where the aggregate of such fees in any rolling period of 12 months, for such time as the Net Asset Value of the Company is £100,000,000 or less, is more than £350,000 and, for such time as the Net Asset Value of the Company exceeds £100,000,000, exceeds £500,000.

5.7 Directors' Letters of Appointment

Each of the Directors has entered into an agreement with the Company dated 15 February 2013 as referred to in paragraph 4.8 above whereby he is required to devote such time to the affairs of the Company as the Board reasonably requires consistent with his role as non‑executive Director. The Chairman of the Company is entitled to receive an annual fee of £20,000 and each other Director an annual fee of £15,000. Each party can terminate the relevant agreement by giving to the others at least three months' notice in writing to expire at any time on or after the date 15 months from the respective commencement date of the letter. In respect of the last reporting period to 31 March 2017, Jonathan Djanogly received £20,000, Laurence Blackall received £15,000 and Peter Dubens received £nil.

5.8 Administration Agreement

An agreement dated 15 February 2013 (as varied on 3 October 2014) and made between the Company and the Administrator whereby the Administrator provides certain administration, accounting and company secretarial services to the Company in respect of the period from admission of the Ordinary Shares until the termination of the Administration Agreement. Further to an amendment agreement entered into between the Company and the Administrator on 3 October 2014, following the launch of the Initial B Share Offer the annual fee was increased to take into account the creation of the B Ordinary Share class (with it being agreed that the annual fee would be based upon gross funds raised by the Company under all of its offers). The administration fee is currently charged at a rate of £65,828 per annum (subject to increase by an amount equal to 0.05% of any further funds raised by the Company in any future share issues), plus VAT at the relevant rate. The annual fee is payable quarterly in advance and increases annually in line with RPI.

The Administration Agreement is terminable by either party giving six months' written notice, on or after the initial one‑year period, but subject to early termination in certain circumstances.

8.Takeovers and Mergers

A. Mandatory takeover bids

The City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Code") applies to all takeover and merger transactions in relation to the Company and operates principally to ensure that shareholders are treated fairly and are not denied an opportunity to decide on the merits of a takeover and that shareholders of the same class are afforded equivalent treatment. The Code provides an orderly framework within which takeovers are conducted and the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers has now been placed on a statutory footing. The Takeovers Directive was implemented in the UK in May 2006 and since 6 April 2007 has effect through the CA 2006. The Directive applies to takeovers of companies registered in an EU member state and admitted to trading on a regulated market in the EU or EEA.

The Code is based upon a number of General Principles which are essentially statements of standards of commercial behaviour. General Principle One states that all holders of securities of an offeree company of the same class must be afforded equivalent treatment and if a person acquires control of a company the other holders of securities must be protected. This is reinforced by Rule 9 of the Code which requires that a person, together with persons acting in concert with him, who acquires shares carrying voting rights which amount to 30% or more of the voting rights to make a general offer. "Voting rights" for these purposes means all the voting rights attributable to the share capital of a company which are currently exercisable at a general meeting. A general offer will also be required where a person, who, together with persons acting in concert with him, holds not less than 30% but not more than 50% of the voting rights, acquires additional shares which increase his percentage of the voting rights. Unless the Panel consents, the offer must be made to all other shareholders, be in cash (or have a cash alternative) and cannot be conditional on anything other than the securing of acceptances which will result in the offeror and persons acting in concert with him holding shares carrying more than 50% of the voting rights.

There are not in existence any current mandatory takeover bids in relation to the Company.

B. Squeeze out

Section 979 of the CA 2006 provides that if, within certain time limits, an offer is made for the share capital of the Company, the offeror is entitled to acquire compulsorily any remaining shares if it has, by virtue of acceptances of the offer, acquired or unconditionally contracted to acquire not less than 90% in value of the shares to which the offer relates and in a case where the shares to which the offer relates are voting shares, not less than 90%, of the voting rights carried by those shares. The offeror would effect the compulsory acquisition by sending a notice to outstanding shareholders telling them that it will compulsorily acquire their shares and then, six weeks from the date of the notice, pay the consideration for the shares to the relevant Company to hold on trust for the outstanding shareholders. The consideration offered to shareholders whose shares are compulsorily acquired under the CA 2006 must, in general, be the same as the consideration available under the takeover offer.

C. Sell out

Section 983 of the CA 2006 permits a minority shareholder to require an offeror to acquire its shares if the offeror has acquired or contracted to acquire shares in a company which amount to not less than 90% in value of all the voting shares in the company and carry not less than 90%, of the voting rights. Certain time limits apply to this entitlement. If a shareholder exercises its rights under these provisions, the offeror is bound to acquire those shares on the terms of the offer or on such other terms as may be agreed.

Third party cheques will not be accepted with the exception of building society cheques or bankers' drafts where the building society or bank has confirmed the name of the account holder by stamping and endorsing the cheque or draft to such effect. The account name should be the same as that shown on the application. Post dated cheques will not be processed until the cheque can be presented and will not be treated as being received by the Receiving Agent until that date. Cheques or bankers' drafts will be presented for payment upon receipt. The Company reserves the right to instruct The City Partnership (UK) Limited (the "Registrar") to seek special clearance of cheques and bankers' drafts to allow the Company to obtain value for remittances at the earliest opportunity. If you wish to pay by electronic transfer, please use the account details provided. The right is reserved to reject any Application Form in respect of which the cheque or bankers' draft has not been cleared on first presentation.

Part 6 – Terms and Conditions of Application continued

1. The basis of allocation will be generally on a first come, first served basis (but always subject to the absolute discretion of the Directors of the Company after consultation with Oakley). The right is reserved to reject in whole or in part and/or scale down and/or ballot any application or any part thereof including, without limitation, where applications in respect of which any verification of identity (which the Company or the Receiving Agent consider may be required for the purposes of the ML Regulations) has not been satisfactorily supplied. Dealings prior to the issue of certificates for 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 Company may accept applications made otherwise than by completion of an Application Form where the Applicant has agreed in some other manner acceptable to the Company to apply in accordance with these Terms and Conditions of application.
1. The application of the subscription proceeds is subject to the absolute discretion of the Directors.
1. Intermediaries who have not provided personal recommendations or advice to UK retail clients on the B Ordinary Shares being applied for and who, acting on behalf of their clients, return valid Application Forms bearing their stamp and FCA number may be entitled to commission on the amount payable in respect of such Shares allocated for each such Application Form at the rates specified in the paragraph headed "Commission" in Part 1 of this document. Intermediaries may agree to waive part or all of their initial commission in respect of an application for B Ordinary Shares under the Offer. If this is the case, then the offer charges will be adjusted, in accordance with the Pricing Formula. Intermediaries should keep a record of Application Forms submitted bearing their stamp to substantiate any claim for their commission.

Part 7 – Pricing of the Offer, Adviser Charges and Commission

The number of B Ordinary Shares to be issued to each Applicant will be calculated based on the following Pricing Formula (rounded down to the nearest whole B Ordinary Share):

		Amount subscribed, less:		Latest published
Number of B Ordinary Shares	=	(i) Promoter Fee1 and	÷	NAV per
		(ii) Adviser Charge (if any)		B Ordinary Share2

1 less any reduction for Early Applications and/or commission waived by Intermediaries (where applicable) 2 adjusted for any dividends declared that are ex‑dividend but not yet paid, as appropriate, rounded up to the nearest 1 pence

Illustrative examples (based on a subscription under the Offer of £10,000 and a NAV per B Ordinary Share of £1)

(i) Promoter Fee (execution‑only transaction) of 2.5% = £250 Number of B Ordinary Shares = (10,000 – 250 – 0) ÷ 1 = 9,750
(ii) Promoter Fee (advised) of 2.5% = £250 Example Adviser Charge = £225 Number of B Ordinary Shares = (10,000 – 250 – 225) ÷ 1 = 9,525
(iii) Promoter Fee (advised) of 2.5% = £250 Example Adviser Charge = £400 Number of B Ordinary Shares = (10,000 – 250 – 400) ÷ 1 = 9,350
(iv) Promoter Fee (advised received by 12 January 2018) of 1.5% = £150 Example Adviser Charge = nil (fee being paid directly by client to Intermediary) Number of B Ordinary Shares = (10,000 – 150 – 0) ÷ 1 = 9,850
(v) Promoter Fee (direct investment and application received by 12 January 2018) of 3% = £300 Example Adviser Charge = nil (direct application) Number of B Ordinary Shares = (10,000 – 300 – 0) ÷ 1 = 9,700

Applications received and accepted on or before 5.00 p.m. on 12 January 2018 will benefit from a reduction in the Promoter Fee of 1% of the amount subscribed.

It should be noted that the example Adviser Charges set out above have been provided to illustrate the pricing of the Offer and should not be considered as a recommendation as to the appropriate levels of Adviser Charges.

Income tax relief should be available on the total amount subscribed, subject to VCT regulations and personal circumstances, which in each of the above examples would be £3,000 (£10,000 at 30%).

Adviser Charges

Commission is not permitted to be paid to Intermediaries who provide a personal recommendation to UK retail clients on investments in VCTs after 30 December 2012. Instead of commission being paid by the Company, a fee will usually be agreed between the Intermediary and Investor for the advice and related services ("Adviser Charge"). This fee can either be paid directly by the Investor to the Intermediary or, the payment of such fee may be facilitated from the Investor's funds received by the Company. If the payment of the Adviser Charge is to be facilitated by the Company, then the Investor is required to specify the amount of the charge on the Application Form (see Box 11). The Investor will be issued fewer B Ordinary Shares (to the equivalent value of the Adviser Charge) through the Pricing Formula set out above. The Adviser Charge is inclusive of VAT, if applicable.

Commission

Commission may be payable where there is an execution‑only transaction and no advice has been provided by the Intermediary to the Investor or where the Intermediary has demonstrated to Oakley that the Investor is a Professional Client of the Intermediary. Commission is payable by Oakley out of the Promoter Fee. Those Intermediaries who are permitted to receive commission will usually receive an initial commission of up to 3% of the amount invested by their clients under the Offer. Additionally, provided that the Intermediary continues to act for the Investor and the Investor continues to be the beneficial owner of the B Ordinary Shares, and subject to applicable laws, regulations and FCA rules, the Company reserves the right to agree trail commission with Intermediaries on an individual basis up to 0.5% of the sum submitted per annum which is indirectly paid out of Oakley's annual management fees through a corresponding reduction in those management fees. Payment of the trail commission is Oakley's responsibility and is normally available for a period of up to four years.

Part 8 – Terms and Conditions of the Dividend Investment Scheme ("DIS")

Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully and keep them in case you need to refer to them in the future. This information should not be regarded as a recommendation to buy or hold Shares in the Company. The value of Shares and the income from them can fall as well as rise and you may not recover the amount of money you invest. If you are in any doubt about what you should do, you should consult an independent financial adviser. If you have any questions about the Dividend Investment Scheme, you can write to: DIS Administration, The City Partnership (UK) Limited, 110 George Street, Edinburgh EH2 4LH.

1. In these DIS Terms and Conditions, capitalised terms shall have, unless the context otherwise permits, the meanings set out in the "Definitions" section of the Prospectus.
1. The monies subscribed through the DIS (being dividends paid on Shares held by, or on behalf of a Shareholder who applies to participate in the DIS (the "Application")) shall be invested in new Shares in the relevant share class. The Scheme Administrator shall not have the discretion to vary such investments and Applicants may not instruct the Scheme Administrator to make any other investments. Applicants who are Shareholders may only join the DIS in respect of the Shares of the Company if dividends on all the Shares in the relevant share class registered in their name are mandated to the DIS. The number of Shares in the relevant share class held by any such Applicant which are mandated to the DIS shall be altered immediately following any change to the number of Shares in respect of which such Shareholder is the registered holder as entered in the share register of the Company from time to time. Applicants who are not Shareholders may join the DIS in respect of the number of Shares of the Company specified as "Nominee Shareholdings" and notified to the Scheme Administrator by the Applicant and the Shareholder in whose name the Shares are held. Any new Shares in the relevant share class, which will be issued to the Applicant (and not the Shareholder in whose name the Shares mandated to the DIS are held), will not be mandated to the DIS unless a separate DIS application form is completed in respect of them.
1. On or as soon as practicable after an investment day, the funds subscribed through the DIS on behalf of each Applicant shall be applied on behalf of that Applicant in the subscription for the maximum number of new Shares as can be acquired with those funds:
i) The number of new Shares issued to an Applicant pursuant to condition 2 above shall be calculated by dividing the aggregate value of the dividends paid on the Shares in the relevant share class to which that Applicant is entitled by the greatest of (i) the most recently announced net asset value per share in the relevant share class as at the date the dividend is paid (as adjusted for the relevant dividend in question if this has not already been recognised in the most recently announced net asset value) of the Company (as determined by the Manager), (ii) the nominal value per Share in the relevant share class and (iii) the mid‑price value per Share in the relevant share class as at the close of business on the Business Day preceding the date of issue of such Shares;
ii) Any balance of cash remaining in the Offer Account after the subscription shall continue to be held in that account on behalf of the Applicant to whom it relates and added to the cash available in respect of that Applicant for the subscription of Shares in the relevant share class on the next investment day. No interest shall accrue or be payable in favour of any Applicant on any such cash balances; and
iii) The DIS involves the investment of the whole dividend paid on each holding in the relevant share class each time a dividend in the relevant share class is paid by the Company. Shareholders will remain in the DIS, so that all future dividends will be reinvested in the same way, until they give notice to the Scheme Administrator that they wish to terminate their participation in the DIS, either in relation to a particular dividend, or all future dividends.
1. The Registrar shall immediately after the subscription of Shares in accordance with condition 3 hereof take all necessary steps to ensure that the Applicants are entered into the share register of the Company as the registered holders of the Shares issued to them in accordance with condition 3 above, and that share certificates in respect of such Shares are issued and delivered to the Applicants at their own risk, as soon as is reasonably practicable (unless such Shares are to be uncertificated). Shareholders (or such other person as aforesaid) will receive with their share certificates (if any) a statement detailing:
i) the dividend available for investment;
ii) the price per Share subscribed and the date of issue;
iii) the number of Shares issued and the total cost; and
iv) the cash to be carried forward for investment on the next investment day.
1. Application to join the DIS can be made at any time. However, to be reinvested, applications to join the DIS need to have been received by the Scheme Administrator at least 15 days prior to a dividend being paid.
1. All costs and expenses incurred by the Scheme Administrator in administering the DIS will be borne by the Company.

Part 8 – Terms and Conditions of the Dividend Investment Scheme ("DIS")

1. Each Applicant warrants to the Scheme Administrator that:
i) during the continuance of his or her participation in the DIS he or she will remain the sole beneficial owner of the Shares mandated to the DIS free from encumbrances or security interests;
ii) all information set out in the DIS application form is correct and to the extent any of the information changes he or she will notify the changes to the Scheme Administrator; and
iii) during the continuance of his or her participation in the DIS he or she will comply with the provisions of condition 8 below.
1. The right to participate in the DIS will not be available to any person who is a citizen, resident or national of, or has a registered address in, any jurisdiction outside the United Kingdom. It is the responsibility of any Applicant wishing to participate in the DIS to be satisfied as to the full observance of the laws of the relevant jurisdiction(s) in connection therewith, including obtaining any governmental or other consents which may be required and observing any other formalities needing to be observed in any such jurisdiction(s). No such person receiving a copy of the DIS documents may treat them as offering such a right unless an offer could properly be made without such compliance.
1. The Applicant acknowledges that neither the Scheme Administrator, the Company nor the Manager are providing a discretionary management service. The Scheme Administrator, the Company and/or the Manager shall not be responsible for any loss or damage suffered by any Applicant as a result of their participation in the DIS unless due to the negligence or default of the Scheme Administrator, the Company or the Manager (respectively), or its or their servants or agents.
1. The Applicant may at any time by notice to the Scheme Administrator terminate his or her participation in the DIS and withdraw any monies held in the offer account on his or her behalf in relation thereto. If an Applicant shall at any time cease to hold any Shares in the Company, he or she shall be deemed to have served such a notice in respect of his or her participation in the DIS. If such notice is served or deemed to have been served, the Scheme Administrator shall pay all of the monies held in the Offer Account on the Applicant's behalf to the Applicant at the address set out in the DIS application form, subject to any deductions which the Scheme Administrator may be entitled or bound to make hereunder.
1. If an Applicant withdraws from the DIS and a cash balance remains of less than £1 that balance will not be repaid, but will be donated to a recognised registered charity.
1. The Company and the Scheme Administrator shall be entitled, at any time and from time to time, to suspend the operation of the DIS and/or to terminate the DIS without notice to the Applicants and/or to refuse to reinvest dividends due on Shares held by a nominee. In the event of termination, the Scheme Administrator shall, subject to condition 11 above, pay to each Applicant all of the monies held in the Offer Account on his or her behalf.
1. All notices and instructions to be given to the Scheme Administrator shall be in writing and delivered or posted to The City Partnership (UK) Limited, 110 George Street, Edinburgh EH2 4LH.
1. The Scheme Administrator shall be entitled to amend the DIS Terms and Conditions on giving one months' notice in writing to all participating Applicants. If such amendments have arisen as a result of any change in statutory or other regulatory requirements, notice of such amendment will not be given to Applicants unless in the Scheme Administrator's opinion the change materially affects the interests of Applicants. Amendments to the DIS Terms and Conditions which are of a formal, minor or technical nature or made to correct a manifest error and which do not adversely affect the interests of Applicants may be effected without notice.
1. By completing and delivering the DIS application form, the Applicant:
i) agrees to provide the Company with any information which it may request in connection with such application and to comply with legislation relating to venture capital trusts or other relevant legislation (as the same may be amended from time to time); and
ii) declares that a loan has not been made to the Applicant or any associate of the Applicant which would not have been made, or would not have been made on the same terms, but for the Applicant offering to subscribe for, or acquiring, Shares and that the Shares are being acquired for bona fide commercial purposes and not as part of a scheme or arrangement the main purpose of which, or one of the main purposes of which, is the avoidance of tax.
1. Currently, subscriptions by individuals aged 18 or over for eligible shares in venture capital trusts only attract tax reliefs if in any tax year such subscriptions to all venture capital trusts by such individuals do not exceed £200,000 (including subscriptions pursuant to dividend investment schemes). Applicants are responsible for ascertaining their own tax status and liabilities and neither the Scheme Administrator nor the Company can accept any liability in the event they do not receive any venture capital trust tax reliefs.

Part 8 – Terms and Conditions of the Dividend Investment Scheme ("DIS")

1. Since dividends on Shares acquired in excess of £200,000 per Applicant in any tax year will not be exempt from income tax in the same way as Shares acquired within this limit, the Applicant will generally be liable to tax on such dividends. Nevertheless, the whole of such dividends shall be invested unless the Scheme Administrator is notified to the contrary in writing at least 15 days before an investment day.
1. The Company shall not be required to issue Shares hereunder if the Directors so decide.
1. These DIS Terms and Conditions shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, English Law and each Applicant submits to the jurisdiction of the English courts and agrees that nothing shall limit the right of the Company to bring any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or in connection with the DIS in any other manner permitted by law or in any court of competent jurisdiction.
1. The Company shall not be required to admit new members to the DIS in circumstances where the proposed level of dividends to be paid by the Company would require the issue of Shares in breach of the Prospectus Rules.
1. All documents will be despatched at the Shareholder's own risk.

Shareholders in any doubt about their tax position should consult their independent professional adviser.

Additional Notes

The Scheme Administrator and its agents (including any broker) may effect transactions notwithstanding that they have a direct or indirect material interest or a relationship of any description with another party which may involve a conflict with its duty to DIS participants under the DIS.

The Scheme Administrator is authorised to disclose any information regarding Shareholders or their participation in the DIS to any relevant authority, or as required by such authority, whether by compulsion of law or not. The Scheme Administrator shall not be liable for any disclosure made in good faith provided that the Scheme Administrator believes that such disclosure has been made in accordance with the foregoing requirements.

Each of the provisions of the DIS shall be severable and distinct from one another and if one or more of such provisions is invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected.

The Scheme Administrator has procedures to help resolve all complaints from customers effectively. If an Applicant has any complaints about the service provided to him or her or wishes to receive a copy of the Scheme Administrator's complaints procedure, please write to the Scheme Administrator at the address set out on page 22.

This service is a Company sponsored scheme which means that the Scheme Administrator charges the Company a fee which is representative to the costs of operating it. This arrangement means that DIS participants are not charged an annual fee. If an Applicant would like more detail on this arrangement please write to the Scheme Administrator at the address set out on page 22.

The Scheme Administrator will take reasonable care in operating the DIS, and will be responsible to an Applicant for any losses or expenses (including loss of shares) suffered or incurred by him or her as a direct result of breach by the Scheme Administrator of these DIS Terms and Conditions, negligence, wilful default or fraud. The Scheme Administrator does not accept liability for any indirect or consequential loss suffered by an Applicant or for any loss which does not arise as a result of its breach of these DIS Terms and Conditions, negligence, wilful default or fraud.

The Scheme Administrator shall not be responsible for delays or failure to perform any of its obligations due to acts beyond its control. Such acts shall include, but not be limited to, acts of God, strikes, lockout, riots, acts of war, terrorist acts, epidemics, governmental regulations superimposed after the fact, communication line failures, power failure, earthquakes or other disasters.

Any personal data obtained from an Applicant in providing this service will be held by the Scheme Administrator in accordance with the relevant legislation. The Scheme Administrator will only hold, use or otherwise process such personal data of an Applicant as is necessary to provide him or her with the service. The Applicant's details will only be disclosed in accordance with the principles set out in the Data Protection Act 1998:

i) to any person if that person has legal or regulatory powers over the Scheme Administrator; and
ii) to any other person or body in order to facilitate the operation of the DIS.

An Applicant has a right to request to view the personal data that the Scheme Administrator holds on him or her.

All communications between the Scheme Administrator and an Applicant will be conducted in the English language.

These DIS Terms and Conditions are governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.

Part 9 – Frequently Asked Questions

As the Offer spans two tax years (2017/18 and 2018/19) on current limits you can subscribe up to a maximum of £400,000. Each spouse has his or her own limit and so together spouses can invest up to £400,000 in respect of each financial year.

Q. What income tax relief will be given on my investment?

The current rate of income tax relief for VCT investors is 30% of the amount invested, so long as you have sufficient income tax payable in the year in which the shares are issued to you to cover the relief.

Q. How do I claim back my income tax relief on my VCT investment?
