What are the key risks that are specific to the issuer?	Set out below is a summary of the most material risk factors specific to the issuer • 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 Manager 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. 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 investments 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. • 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.

Key Information on the Securities

What are the main features of the securities?
Type, class and ISIN 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.
Currency, par value and number to be issued	The currency of the B Ordinary Shares is Sterling, having a par value of 1 pence each and pursuant to the Offer the Company will issue up to £20 million of B Ordinary Shares with an over-allotment facility for up to a further £20 million of B Ordinary Shares.
Rights attaching to the securities	As regards Income: 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 assets and liabilities allocated to the Ordinary Shares (the "Ordinary Share Pool") or the assets and liabilities allocated to the B Ordinary Shares (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 Company-wide basis, the income arising on the pools 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. 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, on a poll has one vote for each Share of which they are 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 buy-backs in respect of each share class of the Company may be facilitated by the availability of that special reserve.

Seniority of securities	The B Ordinary Shares that are the subject of the Offer shall rank equally with the existing Shares in the event of an insolvency of the issuer.
Restrictions on the free transferability of the securities	There are no restrictions on the free transferability of the Shares.
Dividend policy	The Ordinary Shares will target an annual dividend of 3 pence per Ordinary Share and the B Ordinary Shares will target an annual dividend of 3 pence per B Ordinary Share, and special dividends may also be paid where significant realisations occur from the sale of portfolio assets. No forecast or projection should be implied or inferred.
Where will the securities be traded?	Applications will be made to the FCA for the B Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the Offer 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 each such admission will become effective, and that dealings in those B Ordinary Shares will commence, within ten Business Days of their allotment.
What are the key risks that are specific to the securities?	Set out below is a summary of the most material risk factors specific to the securities • The market price of a B Ordinary Share may not fully reflect its underlying net asset value. • The value of B Ordinary 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 B Ordinary Shares are listed on the Official List and admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange, shares in VCTs are inherently illiquid, which may, therefore, adversely affect the market price of the B Ordinary Shares and the ability to sell them. • Levels and bases of, and reliefs from, taxation are subject to change, which could be retrospective.

Key Information on the Offer of Securities to the Public and/or Admission to Trading on a Regulated Market

Under which conditions	Amount of Offer
and timetable can I invest in this security?	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 £20 million of B Ordinary Shares. The B Ordinary Shares are payable by an Applicant in full upon application.
	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 Promoter Fee less Adviser Charge) divided by latest published NAV per B Ordinary Share.
	The Offer is conditional on the resolutions 1 and 2 to be proposed at the General Meeting on 26 September 2019 being passed.
	The Offer will open on 2 September 2019 and may close at any time thereafter, but, in any event, not later than 3.00 p.m. on 5 April 2020, in the case of the 2019/2020 offer, and 3.00 p.m. on 30 June 2020, in the case of the 2020/2021 offer (unless, in either case, the Offer has been fully subscribed by an earlier date). The closing date of the Offer, and the deadline for receipt of applications for the final allotment with respect to the 2020/2021 offer, may be extended by the Directors at their absolute discretion to a date no later than 1 September 2020. It is expected that the admission to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities of the B Ordinary Shares that are the subject of the Offer will become effective within ten Business Days of their allotment.
	Expenses Charged to the Investor
	For all applications received under the Offer, the expenses charged to the Investor are 3.5% of gross funds raised by the Company.
	Adviser Charges and Commission
	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, up to an amount not exceeding 4.5% of the amount subscribed by the Investor, can 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 Adviser Charge on the Application Form. The Investor will be issued fewer B Ordinary Shares (to the equivalent value of the Adviser Charge) through the Pricing Formula set out above.
	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) or where the Intermediary has demonstrated to the Promoter that the Investor is a Professional Client of the Intermediary. An initial commission of 1% of the amount subscribed may be payable and, 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 0.375% of the net asset value of a B Ordinary Share at the end of each financial year commencing in 2021, for a period of up to six years. Payment of the initial commission is the Manager's responsibility and is payable out of the Promoter Fee.
	Trail commission is payable by the Company.

Under which conditions and timetable can I invest in this security? continued

Expenses of the Offer Total initial expenses of the Offer Agreement are limited to 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the Offer. Dilution On the basis of full subscription under the Offer of £40 million, including full utilisation of the over allotment facility at an Offer Price of 116 pence per B Ordinary Share, the B Ordinary Shares in issue will be diluted by 39.81%. As a result of the Offer, there will be no dilution of the Ordinary Shares in issue.

Why is this prospectus being produced?

The reason for the Offer is to enable the Company 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 BOrdinary Share Pool in accordance with its published investment policy. Assuming a full subscription of £40 million of B Ordinary Shares and a Promoter Fee of 3.5% on all such subscriptions (with the over-allotment facility fully utilised), the estimated maximum net proceeds of the Offer is £38.6 million. The Offer is not subject to an underwriting agreement. No conflict of interest is material to the Offer.

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, which may, therefore, adversely affect the market price of the B Ordinary Shares and the ability to sell 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 a holder of shares, who should consult their own tax adviser 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 adviser prior to making any investment decision in relation to the Offer.
• 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, where it was known at the time of the subscription and sale that the VCTs were intending to merge. The measure will not affect subscriptions for shares where the monies being subscribed represent dividends which the Investor has elected to reinvest.
• The Finance (No.2) Act 2015 introduced a maximum age limit for companies receiving VCT investment (generally seven years from first commercial sale or ten years for Knowledge Intensive Companies), 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). There are further restrictions on the use of VCT funds received by investee companies. The Finance Act 2018 introduced a new "risk-to-capital" condition for Qualifying Investments, designed to focus investments towards earlier stage, growing businesses, and away from investments which could be regarded as lower risk. The Company may not make any prohibited non-qualifying investments, including those which breach the "risk-to-capital" condition, and the potential penalty for contravention of these rules can include loss of VCT status with a resultant clawback of VCT tax reliefs from Investors.
• HMRC have stated that VCT status will not be withdrawn where an investment is ultimately found to be non-qualifying if, after taking reasonable steps including seeking advice, a VCT considers that an investment is qualifying. However, HMRC may require rectification of the breach, which may mean that the VCT is forced to dispose of the investment at a loss.
• On 29 March 2017, the UK gave notice to the EU under Article 50(2) of the Treaty on European Union of its intention to withdraw from the EU, commonly referred to as "Brexit". The British government is now negotiating the terms of the UK's future relationship with the EU. Although it is unknown what terms will emerge from the same or whether there will be increased regulatory control between the UK and EU countries, the emerging terms may adversely affect the Company's business model, business operations, or financial results or have an impact on sales demand, material and labour costs and availability and cost of finance for an underlying investee company.

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 Investments or Non-Qualifying Investments, instead concentrating on a limited number of Qualifying Investments 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 Investments and Non-Qualifying Investments, risk is not spread as widely but is more concentrated between a smaller number of Qualifying Investments 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.
• The VCT Rules include 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.

Risk Factors continued

Risks associated with the Manager and conflicts of interest

• The past performance of members of the Manager 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 objectives.
• 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 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 and 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 B Ordinary Shareholders are not always aligned.

Chairman's Letter

Dear Investor,

I am pleased to announce that Pembroke VCT plc has launched a new share offer to raise up to £40 million. After raising over £75 million since 2012, Pembroke has invested £55 million in 40 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 ME+EM. 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 31% 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 in 2016 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 have benefitted 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.

VCT regulatory changes

Changes to the VCT Rules in 2015 and 2018 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.

Investments made following the Finance Act 2018 are subject to a new risk-to-capital condition, which has two requirements, 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 need to make 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 its five key investment segments being; Wellness, Hospitality, Education, Apparel & Accessories and Media & Technology. Pembroke will continue to invest in a diversified portfolio of smaller unquoted companies. 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. 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 B Ordinary Share. Holders of B Ordinary Shares received a 3 pence dividend per B Ordinary Share on 27 September 2018, and it is proposed that a 3 pence dividend per B Ordinary Share will be paid to holders of B Ordinary Shares on 31 October 2019.

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.

Jonathan Djanogly Chairman

2 September 2019

Overview Part 1

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 Manager has a previous track record. Investment of the Ordinary Share Pool and the B Ordinary Share Pool has to date been across five sectors: wellness; hospitality; education; apparel & accessories; and media & technology. The companies may be at any stage in their development from start-up to established businesses. Approximately 31% 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, although 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 (at the time of investment). 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;
• capital gains on the disposal of Shares are tax free; and
• dividends received by an Investor from the VCT are tax free.

Example (excluding the costs of the Offer)

Assume that an Investor invests £200,000 in the Company, which leads to £500,000 of capital to the Investor over the life of the Company.

This means:

	Illustration
Initial investment	£200,000
30% income tax relief	£(60,000)
Effective cost of initial investment	£140,000
Capital returned to Investor (no capital gains tax payable on this return)	£500,000
Money multiple based on effective cost of initial investment	3.6x (=£500,000/£140,000)
Overall tax saving	£120,000
No capital gains tax on the capital return, so tax saved here (at 20%)	£60,000 (=20% of £300,000)
30% income tax relief	£60,000 (=30% of £200,000)

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

The Company proposes to raise subscriptions from Investors through both the 2019/2020 offer and the 2020/2021 offer. Investors will be able to subscribe for B Ordinary Shares both before and after the end of the current tax year (5 April 2020) 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 under the Offer by utilising their income tax relief for two tax years. Further, as spouses individually have such entitlements, a couple together could double this £400,000 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.

Deal flow

• The Company expects the majority of investments to be sourced by the Manager from the extensive personal and professional networks of the Manager.
• These networks have built up over many years from direct operational business experience in commercial enterprises in a variety of sectors, and from venture capital investing.
• The vast majority of Pembroke deal flow comes through the following channels:
  • Introductions from founders that Pembroke is or has been working with;
  • Direct approaches to the Manager;
  • Our investor base, who approach us with EIS opportunities they are presented with; and
  • A network of corporate finance advisors.

Exit

The Company aims to exit each of its Qualifying Investments after a holding period of approximately three to seven years. The Manager will consider the likely exit options as part of its due diligence process on an investment opportunity before making a recommendation to invest.

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 to investors the net proceeds it receives from each sale, most likely in each case by way of tax free dividend, but always subject to the requirements and best interests of the Company. Net proceeds are calculated after deducting costs of the transaction and any performance fee payable.

Substantial Directors' commitment

The past and present Directors have invested £725,000 in the first issue of Ordinary Shares and a further £1,225,000 since in subsequent share offers, thus creating a significant alignment of their interests with other investors in the Company, and reflecting their confidence in the investment strategy. The value of the Directors investment is now £2,300,000. The Directors intend to invest a further £50,000 in aggregate under the Offer.

Investment Activity and Performance Part 1

The Manager's investment activity up to the date of this document and performance up to 31 March 2019 is summarised below.

The Manager 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 Manager has invested, in total, £53.3 million and has generated a total fair value of £73.0 million (source: unaudited figures provided by the Manager*).

The Pembroke Portfolio

Pembroke has made a total of 40 investments. The current active portfolio consists of 36 investments, of which 34 have received funding wholly or in part from the B Ordinary Share class.

In total, £53.3 million has been invested as at the date of this document in the current portfolio which is split between £14.3 million in the Ordinary Share Pool and £39.0 million in the B Ordinary Share Pool (see table below). Approximately 31% 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 £26.6 million representing an overall "money multiple" including realisations of 1.9x to 31 March 2019 (source: unaudited figures provided by the Manager*). With the exception of N is for Nursery, Secret Food Tours, HotelMap, Floom, LYMA, Kinteract and Thriva, 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 £46.5 million representing an overall "money multiple" including realisations of 1.2x to 31 March 2019 (source: unaudited figures provided by the Manager*).

Pembroke VCT plc

The Company will be managed by the Manager, which includes the management professionals described below, together with assistance from a number of specialist staff within the Oakley group.

Peter Dubens

Managing Partner and Co‑Founder of Oakley

Peter is an entrepreneur, who has bought, built and sold business, from small enterprises to large public market companies, since his early twenties. He founded Oakley Capital ("Oakley") in 2002 to be a best of breed, entrepreneurially driven investment house, creating an ecosystem that supports the companies through investment, whether they are early-stage companies or established businesses. The vision of Oakley has always been to encourage and back entrepreneurship.

Oakley Capital Private Equity is a Western Europe-focused private equity firm with c.€3.0 billion of assets under management and is now investing its fourth fund, Oakley Capital IV. Oakley's private equity funds invest in mid-market companies across the region within three core sectors – Consumer, Education and Technology, Media & Telecoms (TMT).

Oakley is able to deliver differentiated investment opportunities and superior returns by leveraging its entrepreneurial mindset and deep sector expertise. The Oakley team works closely with a unique network of entrepreneurs and successful management teams to help source primary, proprietary opportunities and gain valuable insights into the businesses in which it invests. Its ability to overcome complexity, and a flexible approach to value creation, allow Oakley to support its portfolio companies to achieve sustainable growth and as a result generate strong returns for their Limited Partners and Oakley Capital Investments Limited, a UK listed investment vehicle that invests in Oakley's private equity funds.

Peter has been a consistent supporter of smaller entrepreneurial endeavours over many years and, as well as making personal investments, he has backed venture capital teams to support emerging firms. Oakley established Pembroke in 2013 to support the development of smaller, early-stage high-growth businesses.

Investment Policy Part 1

24

Pembroke VCT plc

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 71% 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 (20% from 1 April 2020) in such products after it is fully invested under the VCT Rules.

Investment strategy

The Company invests in a diverse portfolio of smaller companies that the Manager believes provide opportunities for value appreciation. These are principally unquoted companies but might include stocks quoted on AIM or NEX.

Pending investment in suitable Qualifying Investments, the Manager can invest in allowable Non-Qualifying Investments intended to generate a positive return.

Asset allocation

Qualifying Investment portfolio

Under current VCT legislation, the Company must invest at least 70% of the funds it raises in Qualifying Investments within three years of when those funds are raised (80% from 1 April 2020). A substantial proportion of these Qualifying Investments will be in the form of ordinary shares, and in some cases preference shares or loans, although at the time of investment only up to 15% of net assets may be invested in any single Qualifying Investment.

Non‑Qualifying Investment portfolio

As investment in Qualifying Investments might take time to complete, in the first three years following a fundraise a considerable proportion of those funds might need to be invested at least initially in Non-Qualifying Investments (including in certain money market securities, listed securities and cash deposits). The Company can 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. 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.

Risk diversification

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

The Company may invest in a diverse range of securities: unquoted Qualifying Investments will typically be structured as a combination of ordinary shares, preference shares, convertible shares and loans.

In order to limit concentration risk in the Pembroke portfolio, at the time of investment no more than 15% by value of the Ordinary Share Pool or the B Ordinary Share Pool, as the case may be, can be invested in any Pembroke portfolio company.

Further, at the time the investment is made no more than 10% in aggregate of the NAV of the Company may be invested in other listed closed-ended investment funds.

Borrowing

In common with many other VCTs, although currently the Board does not intend the Company will borrow funds, the Company has the ability to borrow funds provided that the aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time does not exceed 25% of the value of the adjusted capital and reserves of Pembroke at the time the borrowings are incurred. In summary, this is when the aggregate of (a) the issued share capital plus (b) any amount standing to the credit of the Company's reserves less (c) any distributions declared and intangible assets, and adjusting for any variation to the above since the date of the relevant balance sheet.

Change in investment policy

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

Other Information Part 1

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.

Co‑Investment policy

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 holders of B Ordinary Shares have no economic rights to the assets in the Ordinary Share Pool and the holders of Ordinary Shares have no economic rights over the B Ordinary Share Pool. Therefore, returns to the holders of B Ordinary Shares 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 Financial Reporting Standards ("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.

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.

Investment Review Part 1

At the date of this document, the Company has investments in 36 companies across five sectors, investing £53.3 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 holders of Ordinary Shares and some are ring-fenced for the holders of B Ordinary Shares. 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.

Rubies in the Rubble (Rubies) was founded by Jenny Costa in 2012 with the aim of becoming the go-to brand for sustainable condiments. The founder came up with the idea when she visited New Covent Garden Market and saw huge quantities of perfectly edible, but unsold produce thrown away. She returned home with basketfuls of fruit and veg and made it into chutneys and jams, eventually setting up a stall in Borough Market to sell her produce. Every Rubies product makes use of otherwise discarded ingredients: aesthetically rejected fruit and vegetables, or under-utilised by-products of food production.

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. 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 opened in 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 Tech City UK initiative for incubating smaller digital and knowledge-intensive companies. Current tenants include younger businesses such as TaskRabbit, Artsy and Visualise, the virtual reality specialists, alongside teams from blue-chip corporates including Ernst & Young and VW Financial Services.
• A property acquisition programme that 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.

The Manager, Management Arrangements and Costs Part 1

The Manager

Pembroke 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.

The Manager provides services in accordance with the IMA for which it receives a management fee of 2% of the Company's NAV. The Manager also contributes to, and caps the Annual Running Costs of the Company, such that they will not exceed £350,000 whilst the NAV remains below £100 million. If the NAV exceeds £100 million the cap increases to £500,000.

In the year to 31 March 2019 the total expense to NAV ratio was 2.3% and is expected to be capped to less than 2.7% in the year to 31 March 2020. In the event of a full subscription of £40 million the total expense to NAV ratio will be approximately 2.4%.

The Manager does not take any arrangement fees, monitoring fees or exit fees from any of the portfolio companies. To align themselves with investors, the Manager does not take any performance incentive fees until investors have been paid actual dividends in excess of: (i) £1 per Share plus (ii) the relevant hurdle, as described further below.

Performance Incentive Fees

As is customary in the venture capital industry, the Manager will be incentivised with a Performance Fee to align the interests of the Manager and Shareholders. The Performance Fee is calculated as 20% (exclusive of VAT) of any amounts distributed to Shareholders in excess of: (i) £1 per Share plus (ii) the relevant annual hurdle.

The Performance Fee in relation to the return on the Ordinary Shares is subject to satisfaction of a hurdle, which is that holders of Ordinary Shares have received in aggregate a return equivalent to at least 8% per annum per Ordinary Share (calculated on a daily basis and not compounded) on the amount subscribed per Ordinary Share (£1) 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 holders of B Ordinary Shares have received in aggregate a return equivalent to at least 3% per annum per B Ordinary Share (calculated on a daily basis and not compounded) on the amount subscribed per B Ordinary Share (£1) 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 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.

Example of Performance Fee in respect of the B Ordinary Shares:
Initial investment £100,000 Five-year hurdle at 3% per year (£3,000 per year) £15,000
Total hurdle amount £115,000
Example amount of cash returned to Investor by year six £150,000
Amount on which performance fee applied £35,000 (being difference between cash returned and total hurdle amount)
Performance Fee at 20% payable to Manager (£7,000)
Net cash returned to Investor over five years £143,000

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 Companywide 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 holders of B Ordinary Shares and vice versa.

The B Ordinary Shares will target an annual dividend of 3 pence per B Ordinary 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.

The Company paid a 3 pence per Ordinary Share dividend to holders of Ordinary Shares in September 2014, a 0.6 pence per Ordinary Share dividend to holders of Ordinary Shares in October 2015, a 2 pence per Ordinary Share dividend to holders of Ordinary Shares in October 2016, a 1 pence per Ordinary Share dividend to holders of Ordinary Shares in June 2017, a 2 pence per Ordinary Share dividend to holders of Ordinary Shares in October 2017 and a 3 pence per Ordinary Share dividend to holders of Ordinary Shares in October 2018. As anticipated, the holders of B Ordinary Shares received their first dividend of 2 pence per B Ordinary Share in October 2016, a further dividend of 1 pence per B Ordinary Share in June 2017, a further 2 pence per B Ordinary Share in October 2017 and a 3 pence per B Ordinary Share dividend to holders of B Ordinary Shares in October 2018. It is proposed that a 3 pence dividend per B Ordinary Share will be paid to holders of B Ordinary Shares on 31 October 2019.

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. Any purchase of Shares will be subject to authority from Shareholders, the Listing Rules, the Company having the necessary cash resources and distributable reserves available for the purchase and will be at the discretion of the Board who must believe 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 disposed 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.

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 June each year) and a copy of the Company's interim results (expected to be published in December each year).

Corporate Governance

The UK Corporate Governance Code (the "Code") published by the Financial Reporting Council in July 2018 applies to the Company. The Directors note that the Code acknowledges that it does not set out a rigid set of rules and that some provisions may have less relevance for investment companies and, in particular, consider some areas inappropriate due to the size and nature of the business of the Company.

Accordingly, the Company will comply with all the provisions of the Code save that (i) the Company does not conduct on an annual basis 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, (ii) as all the Directors are non-executive, it is not considered appropriate to appoint a nomination or remuneration committee and in light of the responsibilities delegated to the Manager, its VCT status adviser and Company secretary, the Company has not appointed a chief executive, deputy chairman or a senior independent non-executive Director and (iii) in view of its non-executive nature and the requirement under the Articles that all Directors are subject to election by Shareholders at the first annual general meeting after their appointment and thereafter at every third annual general meeting, the Board considers that it is not appropriate for the Directors to be appointed for a fixed term.

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.

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 compliance with the VCT requirements. Once full approval has been given, the Company must continue to satisfy the requirements of HMRC 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. Tax legislation in the Investor's member state may have an impact on the income received from the B Ordinary 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 Company 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 Company to continue on a rolling basis.

Costs of the Offer and Offer Price Part 1

Costs of the Offer

The costs of the Offer to be met by the Company will be (i) the Promoter Fee payable to the Manager, of 3.5% of the value of each application for B Ordinary Shares under the Offer accepted by the Company and (ii) trail commission payable to Intermediaries (see "Commission and Adviser Charge" below), if any. The Manager will pay all other costs of the Offer from the Promoter Fee.

Details of the Offer

It is proposed to raise in aggregate up to £40 million by means of the Offer, being the principal offer of £20 million and the overallotment facility of a further £20 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 banker's draft or electronic transfer, on subscription. The Offer will open on 2 September 2019 and it is expected to remain open until 3.00 p.m. on 5 April 2020 in relation to the 2019/2020 tax year, and until 3.00 p.m. on 30 June 2020 in relation to the 2020/2021 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 2020/2021 offer, may be extended by the Directors at their absolute discretion to a date no later than 1 September 2020.

Investors must ensure that any subscriptions in relation to the 2019/2020 tax year are received before 3.00 p.m. on 5 April 2020 and that subscriptions in relation to the 2020/2021 tax year are made by separate cheque, bank transfer or banker's 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 3.5% (including the over-allotment facility) will be £38.6 million. There is no minimum aggregate subscription below which the Offer will not proceed. The Promoter Fee is based 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).

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 B Ordinary 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 B Ordinary Shares issued under the Offer 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 expenses of the Offer charged to Investors, being the Adviser Charge, if any, and Promoter Fee.

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	= 1	Amount subscribed, less: (i) Promoter Fee2 and (ii) Adviser Charge (if any)	÷	Latest published NAV per B Ordinary Share3
-----------------------------	--------	--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------	---	--------------------------------------------------

¹ Adjusted for additional Bonus Shares

² less any reduction agreed by the Promoter for any specific investor or group of investors (where applicable)

Illustrative examples (based on a subscription under the Offer of £10,000, a NAV per B Ordinary Share of £1 and no additional Bonus Shares):

• (i) Promoter Fee (non-advised) of 3.5% = £350 Number of B Ordinary Shares = (10,000 – 350 – 0) ÷ 1 = 9,650
• (ii) Promoter Fee (advised) of 3.5% = £350 Example Adviser Charge = £225 Number of B Ordinary Shares = (10,000 – 350 – 225) ÷ 1 = 9,425
• (iii) Promoter Fee (advised) of 3.5% = £350 Example Adviser Charge = £400 Number of B Ordinary Shares = (10,000 – 350 – 400) ÷ 1 = 9,250

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 invested, subject to VCT regulations and personal circumstances, which in example (i) above would be £3,000 (30% of £10,000), in example (ii) above would be £2,932.50 (30% of £9,775), and in example (iii) above would be £2,880 (30% of £9,600).

Allotment, dealings and settlement

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

It is intended that an initial allotment of B Ordinary Shares under the Offer will be made on 19 December 2019. Successful applicants will be notified by post.

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

B Ordinary Shares will be issued in registered form, will be freely transferable in both certificated and uncertificated form and are not redeemable. It is anticipated that definitive share certificates will be issued within ten Business Days of each allotment.

B Ordinary 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 B Ordinary 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.

Commission and Adviser Charge

An initial commission of 1% of the amount subscribed 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 Promoter that the Investor is a Professional Client of the Intermediary. Payment of the initial commission is the Manager's responsibility and is payable out of the Promoter Fee.

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 0.375% of the net asset value of a B Ordinary Share at the end of each financial year commencing in 2021, for a period of up to six years. Trail commission is payable by the Company.

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, up to an amount not exceeding 4.5% of the amount subscribed by the Investor, 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. The Adviser Charge is inclusive of VAT, if applicable.

Taxation Considerations for Investors Part 2

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 2020 for the tax year 2019/2020 and £200,000 on or after 6 April 2020 for the tax year 2020/2021. 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. Tax reliefs available to Qualifying Subscribers but not available to 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/her investment, as shown in the table below.

Maximum effect of initial tax relief

	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

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, where it was known at the time of the subscription that the VCTs were expected to merge. The measure will not affect subscriptions for shares where the monies being subscribed represent dividends which the investor has elected to reinvest.

3. Tax reliefs available to Qualifying Subscribers and available to Qualifying Purchasers

The tax 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 will also 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 HMRC an adjustment to his/her 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 Relating to Qualifying Subscribers only

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/her 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.

The information in this Part 2 is based on existing legislation, including taxation legislation. The tax legislation of the UK and of any other jurisdiction to which an Investor is subject may have an impact on the income received from the securities. The tax reliefs described are those currently available. Levels and bases of, and relief from taxation are subject to change and such change could be retrospective.

Taxation of the Company Part 3

Qualifying as a VCT

• 1. In order to qualify as a VCT, a company must satisfy the following conditions in each accounting period:
  2. i. it must be approved as a VCT by HMRC;
  3. ii. it must not be a close company;
  4. 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;
  5. iv. it must derive its income in the period wholly or mainly from shares or securities;
  6. 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%;
  7. vi. for shares issued on or after 1 April 2019, at least 30% of the funds raised will need to be invested in Qualifying Holdings by the anniversary of the end of the accounting period in which the shares were issued,
  8. vii. at least 70% by value of 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;
  9. viii. it must have at least 10% by value of its investments in any Qualifying Company in ordinary shares which carry no preferential rights;
  10. ix. 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);
  11. x. it must generally not retain more than 15% of the income which it derives from shares and securities in the period;
  12. xi. 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;
  13. xii. 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;
  14. xiii. 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;
  15. xiv. 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 (ten years for a Knowledge Intensive Company), except where previous Risk Finance State Aid was received by the company within those seven (or ten) years or where a turnover test is satisfied and the company is entering a new product market or a new geographic market;
  16. xv. no funds received from an investment into a company can be used to acquire another existing business or trade; and
  17. xvi. 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 paragraphs 1(v) and (vii) above, up to the third accounting period (see below under the heading, "Approval as a VCT").
• 1. The risk-to-capital condition introduced in the Finance Act 2018 requires that the Qualifying Company has long term growth plans and that the investment made by the VCT is at risk.

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:
  2. 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;
  3. 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);
  4. iii. must have a permanent establishment in the UK;
  5. iv. not be able to control (whether on its own or together with a connected person) any company which is not a Qualifying Subsidiary;
  6. v. not be controlled by another company (on its own or together with a connected person);
  7. vi. have fewer than 250 employees immediately pre-investment (500 for a Knowledge Intensive Company); and
  8. vii. not have any property managing subsidiaries which do not fall into the definition of relevant Qualifying Subsidiaries (see below).

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 4(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 4(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.
• 1. The risk-to-capital condition introduced in the Finance Act 2018 requires that the Qualifying Company has long-term growth plans and that the investment made by the VCT is at risk.
• 1. Since 15 March 2018, the rate of return on investments in loans in Qualifying Companies cannot exceed a commercial rate of return and must be unsecured.

Approval as a VCT

• 1. A VCT must be approved as such at all times by HMRC. 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 HMRC 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, HMRC may grant provisional approval to a VCT, notwithstanding that not all the relevant tests are satisfied at the time of the application, provided that HMRC is satisfied that the tests will be satisfied within a certain period. In particular, HMRC may grant provisional approval if it is satisfied that:
  2. i. the relevant tests in paragraphs 1(iii), 1(iv), and 1(ix) to 1(xvi) 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;
  3. ii. the relevant tests in paragraphs 1(v) and 1(vii) 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
  4. iii. the relevant tests in paragraphs 1(iii) to 1(xvi) 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. On the creation of the B Ordinary Shares HMRC confirmed that the B Ordinary Shares were eligible shares for VCT tax relief purposes.

Withdrawal of approval

• 1. Approval as a VCT may be withdrawn by HMRC 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".
• 1. HMRC has stated that VCT status will not be withdrawn where an investment is ultimately found to be non-qualifying if, after taking reasonable steps including seeking advice, a VCT considers that an investment is qualifying. However, HMRC may require rectification of the breach, which may mean that the VCT is forced to dispose of the investment at a loss.
• The information in this Part 3 is based on existing legislation, which may change and which change could be retrospective.

Additional Information Part 4

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 FCA 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.

• 2.1 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 At the General Meeting of the Company convened for 26 September 2019, the following resolutions are being put to Shareholders:
  • 2.2.1 that, the Directors of the Company be authorised to allot B Ordinary Shares up to an aggregate nominal value of £400,000 pursuant to offer(s) for subscription and further amounts up to an aggregate nominal amount representing 20% of the issued B Ordinary Share capital of the Company from time to time, such authority expiring on 25 December 2020 unless revoked, varied or extended by the Company in general meeting;
  • 2.2.2 the pre-emption rights in respect of the above allotments be disapplied; and
  • 2.2.3 subject to the sanction of the High Court, the amount standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company at the date an order is made confirming such cancellation by the Court, be cancelled.
• 2.3 Save as disclosed in this paragraph 2 and pursuant to the Offer, since the date of its incorporation, no share or loan capital of the Company or any subsidiary has been issued or agreed to be issued, or (except pursuant to the Offer) is now proposed to be issued, for cash or any other consideration and no commissions, discounts, brokerages, or other special terms have been granted by either the Company or any subsidiary, in connection with the issue or sale of any such capital.
• 2.4 No share or loan capital of the Company is under option or has been agreed conditionally or unconditionally to be put under option.
• 2.5 The Shares will be in registered form and temporary documents of title will not be issued. The ISIN of the Ordinary Shares is GB00B89W2T50 and the SEDOL code is B89W2T5.

• 2.6 The issued share capital of the Company is, at the date of this document, 18,097,588 Ordinary Shares and 52,140,888 B Ordinary Shares. Assuming full subscription under the Offer, full utilisation of the over-allotment facility, an Offer Price of 116 pence per B Ordinary Share and a Promoter Fee of 3.5% on all such subscriptions, the issued share capital of the Company following the Offer will be 18,097,588 Ordinary Shares and 86,623,646 B Ordinary Shares.
• 2.7 The Company will be subject to the continuing obligations of the FCA and the London Stock Exchange with regard to the issue of securities for cash and the provisions of section 561 of the CA 2006 (which confers on shareholders rights of pre-emption in respect of the allotment of equity securities which are, or are to be, paid up in cash) will apply to the share capital of the Company which is not subject to the disapplication referred to in sub-paragraph 2.2.2 above.

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 an 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.

Additional Information continued Part 4

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 of 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:
  • 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;
  • 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;
  • 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;
  • 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;
  • 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;
  • 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

An agreement dated 15 February 2013 (as varied on 3 October 2014) and made between the Company and The City Partnership (UK) Limited (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.

The administration fee is currently charged at a rate of £82,275 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.

Additional Information continued Part 4

• 6.18.1 it, or any of its subsidiaries, must not conduct any trading activity which is significant in the context of the group as a whole;
• 6.18.2 it must not invest more than 10% in aggregate, of the value of its total assets (at the time the investment is made) in other listed closed-ended investment funds except listed closed-ended investment funds which themselves have published investment policies to invest no more than 15% of their total assets in other closed-ended investment funds; and
• 6.18.3 it must manage and invest its assets in accordance with the investment policy set out on pages 24 and 25 which contains information about the policies which it will follow relating to asset allocation, risk diversification and which includes maximum exposure.
• 6.19 Shareholders will be informed, by means of the interim and/or annual report or through a Regulatory Information Service announcement if the investment restrictions which apply to the Company as a VCT detailed in this document are breached.
• 6.20 The Manager has given, and has not withdrawn, its written consent to the issue of this document with the inclusion of its name in this document in the form and context in which they are included.
• 6.21 The Manager accepts responsibility for the financial information contained in or referred to on pages 46 and 28 to 43 of this document, and which are referenced in this paragraph 6.21. Such information has been included, in the form and context in which it appears, with the consent of the Manager, who has authorised, and takes responsibility for, such information under rule 5.3.2R(2)(f) of the Prospectus Regulation Rules. To the best of the knowledge and belief of the Manager (which has taken all reasonable care to ensure that such is the case), such information is in accordance with the facts and contains no omission likely to affect its import.
• 6.22 The Offer has been sponsored by Howard Kennedy Corporate Services LLP whose offices are at No.1 London Bridge, London SE1 9BG and which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. The Sponsor has given, and has not withdrawn, its written consent to the issue of this document with the inclusion of its name in the form and context in which it is included.

• 6.24 The issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this document is 18,095,005 Ordinary Shares and 52,140,888 B Ordinary Shares. Assuming a full subscription of £40 million at an Offer Price of 116 pence per B Ordinary Share (with the over-allotment facility fully utilised and a Promoter Fee of 3.5% on all such subscriptions), the existing Shares would represent 67.1% of the enlarged issued share capital of the Company.
• 6.25 As at 31 March 2019, the date to which the most recent financial information on the Company has been drawn up, the audited NAV per Ordinary Share was 138.27 pence and audited NAV per B Ordinary Share was 111.90 pence. The Shares will usually trade at a discount to their underlying net asset value. 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 which may, therefore, adversely affect the market price of the B Ordinary Shares and the ability to sell them.
• 6.26 The information contained in this document sourced from third parties has been accurately reproduced and, so far as the Company is aware and is able to ascertain from information published by the relevant third parties, no facts have been omitted which would render such information inaccurate or misleading.

• 6.27 The results of the Offer will be announced through a Regulatory Information Service within three Business Days of the closing date of the Offer.
• 6.28 The Company and the Directors consent to the use of the Prospectus, and accept responsibility for the content of the Prospectus, with respect to subsequent resale or final placement of securities by financial intermediaries, from the date of the Prospectus until the close of the Offer. The Offer is expected to close on or before 3.00 p.m. on 30 June 2020, unless previously extended by the Directors to a date no later than 1 September 2020. There are no conditions attaching to this consent. Financial intermediaries may use the Prospectus in the UK.

Any financial intermediary using the Prospectus must state on its website that it is using the Prospectus in accordance with the consent set out in paragraph 6.28.
• 6.30 The maximum number of B Ordinary Shares which are the subject of this Prospectus is 40,000,000 B Ordinary Shares.
• 6.31 Any forward looking statements in this Prospectus do not in any way seek to qualify the working capital statement in paragraph 6.13 of this Part 4 and will be updated as required by the Prospectus Regulation Rules, the Listing Rules and the Disclosure Guidance & Transparency Rules, as appropriate.
• 6.32 The Prospectus has been approved by the Financial Conduct Authority, as competent authority under Regulation (EU) 2017/1129. The FCA only approves the Prospectus as meeting the standards of completeness, comprehensibility and consistency imposed by Regulation (EU) 2017/1129.

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.

9. Documents for inspection

The Company's memorandum and Articles are available for inspection at the offices of Howard Kennedy Corporate Services LLP, No.1 London Bridge, London SE1 9BG, during normal business hours on any weekday (Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays excepted) from the date of this document until closing of the Offer and may also be inspected at the Company's registered office at 3 Cadogan Gate, London SW1X 0AS.

Terms and Conditions of the Dividend Investment Scheme Part 7

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 ("DIS"), 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:
  2. 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;
  3. 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
  4. 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:
  2. i) the dividend available for investment;
  3. ii) the price per Share subscribed and the date of issue;
  4. iii) the number of Shares issued and the total cost; and
  5. 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.
• 1. Each Applicant warrants to the Scheme Administrator that:
  2. 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;
  3. 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
  4. iii) during the continuance of his or her participation in the DIS he or she will comply with the provisions of condition 8 below.

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:
  2. 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
  3. 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 DIS). 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.
• 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 Regulation Rules.
• 1. All documents will be dispatched at the Shareholder's own risk.

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

Frequently Asked Questions Part 8

Q. How much can I invest in the Company?

There is no upper limit on the amount that you can invest in the Company. However, there is a limit on the amount which, in any tax year, you may invest in VCTs which will qualify for any tax reliefs. The current limit is £200,000 in any one tax year. As the Offer spans two tax years (2019/2020 and 2020/2021) 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 tax year.

Q. What is the minimum level of investment?

The minimum subscription is £3,000 per application (net of any facilitated Adviser Charges).

Q. To whom should I make the cheque payable?

Cheques should be made payable to "The City Partnership – Pembroke VCT".

Q. Can I pay for my shares electronically?

Yes, to the following account: Account name: The City Partnership - Pembroke VCT Account number: 11010368 Sort code: 80-22-60

Please ensure you reference your payment with a combination of your surname, initial(s) and postcode. Such a reference will allow the Receiving Agent to match your payment with your Application Form more easily.

Q. Where should I send my application?

Your Application Form should be sent to The City Partnership (UK) Limited, 110 George Street, Edinburgh EH2 4LH.

Q. What will I receive upon allotment of shares?

For an allotment into a certificated holding, the Company will dispatch to you, within ten Business Days from the allotment date, an allotment letter, a share certificate and an income tax relief certificate.

For an allotment into a dematerialised holding, the Company will dispatch to you, within ten Business Days from the allotment date, an allotment letter and an income tax relief certificate.

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. Therefore, depending on your circumstances, you can get a maximum of £60,000 income tax relief per tax year being 30% on subscriptions for shares in VCTs of £200,000 in any tax year.

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

In order to claim back your tax relief you can write to HMRC and ask them to amend your tax code so you can receive your tax relief via the PAYE system. Alternatively, you can claim the relief in your tax return for the year in which the Shares are issued to you.
