D Risks
D1 Key
information
on the key
risks specific
to the
Companies

There can be no guarantee that the respective investment objectives of the
Companies will be achieved or that suitable investment opportunities will be
available. The success of each Company will depend on the Manager's ability
to identify, acquire and realise investments in accordance with each Company's
investment policy and there can be no assurance that the Manager will be able
to do so.

Investment in unquoted companies involves a higher degree of risk than
investment in companies traded on the main market of the London Stock
Exchange. Smaller 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. Full information for
determining their value or the risks to which they are exposed may also not be
available.

Investments in open-ended equity funds, in which some of the Commanies have
invested, result in exposure to market risk through movements in price per unit.

Changes in legislation concerning VCTs may limit the number of qualifying
investment opportunities, reduce the level of returns which would otherwise have
been achievable or result in a Company not being able to meet its investment
objective.

The value of an investment in a Company, and the dividend stream, may go
down as well as up. Shareholders may get back less than the amount originally
invested in a Company, even taking into account the available tax reliefs.
D3 Key
information
• The value of Shares in a Company depends on the performance of its underlying
assets.
on the risks
specific to the
securities
• The market price of the New Shares may not fully reflect their underlying net
asset value.
• Trading in VCT shares is not active, so shares tend to be valued at a discount to
their net asset value and may be difficult to realise. As a result, Shareholders may
be offered a price which is less than the full value of a Company's underlying
assets.
• It is likely that there will not be a liquid market in the New Shares (which may be
partly due to up front tax relief not being available for VCT shares bought in the
market and as VCT shares generally trade at a discount to net asset value) and
Shareholders may have difficulty in selling their Shares as a result. Shareholders
may not be able to realise their investment at Net Asset Value or at all.
E Offers

Investors will indirectly bear the costs of the Offers in which they participate through
the application of the pricing formula which determines the offer price to be paid for
the New Shares and includes an allowance for issue costs of 2.5 per cent. (or 1.5 per
cent. for existing Shareholders who qualify for the Early Bird Discount or 2 per cent. for
new investors who qualify for the Early Bird Discount). The costs of each Offer will be
paid by the Manager out of its fee of 2.5 per cent. of the gross proceeds of the Offer.
Albion Capital has also agreed to meet any permissible annual trail commission
payments of each Company, whilst it is appointed as the investment manager to that
Company.
E2a Reasons for
the Offers
and use of
the proceeds
The funds raised by each Company pursuant to its Offer will supplement its
capacity to continue to invest across the business cycle in new and existing portfolio
companies in accordance with the respective Companies' investment policies.
E3 Terms and
conditions of
The maximum amount to be raised by each Company under its Offer, ignoring the
over-allotment facility, is :
the Offers Albion Development VCT £6 million
Albion Enterprise VCT £6 million
Albion Technology & General VCT
Albion Venture Capital Trust
£6 million
£6 million
Crown Place VCT £6 million
Kings Arms Yard VCT £6 million
Each Offer will open on 7 January 2019 and will close at 2p.m. on 30 September
2019. Each Board may close its Company's Offer earlier than this date or may extend
its Company's Offer to a date up to and including 6 January 2020. Applications
under each Offer will be accepted on a first come, first served basis, subject always
to the discretion of the relevant Board. Subscribers must subscribe a minimum in
aggregate of £6,000, with a minimum per elected Offer of £1,000 and thereafter in
multiples of £1,000 per elected Offer. The first allotments of Shares under the Offers
are expected to occur on 1 April 2019.
In relation to each allotment, the Offer Price at which the relevant New Shares will
be allotted will be calculated by using the pricing formula set out below and will be
announced to the London Stock Exchange through a Regulatory Information Service
on the date of allotment.
The number of New Shares to be allotted under each Offer will be determined by
dividing the Subscription amount for that Offer by a subscription price calculated
on the basis of the following formula ("the Pricing Formula") applied to the relevant
Company ("Offer Price"):
Latest published NAV of an existing Share at the time of allotment (adjusted, as
necessary, for dividends subsequently paid or in respect of which the record date has
passed) divided by 0.975 (to allow for issue costs of 2.5 per cent.) and rounded up to
the nearest 0.1p per Share.
The number of New Shares to be issued under each Offer will be rounded down to the
nearest whole number and fractions of New Shares will not be allotted. If there is a
surplus of funds from an investor's subscription amount, the balance will be returned
(without interest) in the form of a cheque or by bank transfer, save where the surplus
amount per Offer is less than £1, in which case such surplus will be retained by the
relevant Company.
Early Bird Discount
Investors for the first £10 million who apply by 2p.m. on 28 February 2019 will be
eligible for an Early Bird Discount as follows:
• Existing Shareholders in any of the Albion VCTs will benefit from a 1 per cent.
discount, such that the issue price of their shares will be calculated by reference to
the latest net asset value per share divided by 0.985.
• New investors who are not existing Shareholders in any Albion VCTs will benefit
from a 0.5 per cent. discount, such that the issue price of their shares will be
calculated by reference to the latest net asset value per share divided by 0.98.
E4 Description

interest that
is material to
the issue
Not applicable. There are no interests that are material to the issue.

total proceeds of that Offer, Albion Capital will bear the excess. However, investors
will indirectly bear the costs of the Offers in which they participate through the
application of the Pricing Formula which determines the Offer Price to be paid for
the New Shares for which an investor subscribes and includes an allowance for issue
costs of 2.5 per cent. (or 2.0 or 1.5 per cent. in respect of applications which qualify
for the Early Bird Discount).
For financial intermediaries who act on an "execution only" basis, i.e. do not provide
financial advice to their clients, permissible trail commission can be paid which will
be borne by Albion Capital.
