| x | The value of a venture capital trust depends on the performance of the underlying assets. It can take several years for the underlying value or quality of the businesses of smaller companies, such as those in which the Company invests, to be fully reflected in their market values and their market values are often also materially affected by general market sentiment, which can be negative for prolonged periods. |

| valuations, will depend in many cases on wider macroeconomic factors as well as company-specific factors. A deterioration in macroeconomic conditions, such as a severe recession or a period of inflation with stagnant economic growth, could have both a direct and indirect impact on existing portfolio companies, particularly in the event that investor risk appetite declines, as this would make it harder to secure new venture funds or other capital, which is often necessary for their continued long-term operations. The ongoing and increasing level of global tension and conflict has proven to impact the global supply chains and dynamically influence the macroeconomic landscape, all of which has knock on impacts to both the performance of our portfolio companies and appetite of TPV's investor base. |
|---|
| x The Company's investments may be difficult, and take time, to realise. There may also be constraints imposed on the realisation of investments to maintain the tax status of the Company. These factors may affect the performance of the Company and the returns for investors. |
| x The Finance (No 2) Act 2015 introduced a maximum age limit for Qualifying Investments generally and a maximum amount of risk finance state aid which a VCT qualifying company can receive over its lifetime. Companies receiving venture capital trust ("VCT") funds are not permitted to use those funds to acquire shares, businesses or certain intangible assets and must pass HMRC's financial health requirement. These changes may mean that there are fewer opportunities for investment, that TPV may not be able to provide further investment funds for companies already in its portfolio and that if a lack of funding was to cause those companies to become insolvent, may mean that TPV's portfolio is less diverse than would otherwise be the case. |
| x The Finance Act 2018 introduced a "risk-to-capital" condition for VCT 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. Whilst 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, a breach of any of these conditions could result in the loss of VCT status by the Company or HMRC requiring rectification of the breach, which may mean the Company is forced to dispose of the investment at a loss and this could adversely affect investor returns. |
| x TPV is targeting regular dividends of up to 5% of the net asset value ("NAV") per Venture Share per annum. TPV intends, but does not guarantee, to produce tax free dividends for its shareholders. TPV's ability to distribute dividends on an annual basis will be determined by the existence of realised profits, legislative requirements, and available cash reserves. There is no certainty as to any level of dividends. The dividend targets may not be achieved, and all dividend payments are subject to TPV having adequate distributable reserves and cash reserves. |
| What are the main features of the securities? | |
|---|---|
| Type, class and ISIN of securities |
The Company will issue New Venture Shares of 1 penny each under the Offer. The ISIN of the New Venture Shares is GB00BDTYGZ09. |
| Currency, par value and number to be issued |
The currency of the New Venture Shares is Sterling, having a par value of 1 penny each and pursuant to the Offer the Company will issue up to £10 million of New Venture Shares with an over-allotment facility for up to a further £20 million of New Venture Shares. |
| Rights attaching to the securities |
As regards income: |
|---|---|
| The holders of Venture Shares shall be entitled to receive such dividends as TPV's directors (the "Directors" or "Board") resolve to pay out of the net assets attributable to the Venture Shares and from income received and accrued from the portfolio attributable to the Venture Shares, in accordance with TPV's articles of association. |
|
| As regards capital: | |
| On a return of capital (other than on a purchase by TPV of its shares) or on a winding up, the surplus capital and assets attributable to the Venture Shares shall be divided amongst the holders of the Venture Shares pro rata according to the nominal capital paid up on their respective holdings of Venture Shares, in accordance with TPV's articles of association. |
|
| 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 holder of Venture Shares present in person or by proxy shall on a poll have one vote for each such Venture Share of which he is the holder. |
|
| As regards redemption: | |
| The Venture Shares are not redeemable. | |
| As regards conversion: | |
| The Venture Shares have no conversion rights. | |
| Seniority of securities |
The New Venture Shares that are the subject of the Offer will rank equally with the existing Venture 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 Venture Shares. |
| Dividend policy | TPV is targeting regular dividends of up to 5% of NAV per Venture Share per annum. TPV's ability to pay dividends is subject to the existence of realised profits, legislative requirements, and the available cash reserves of TPV. These are targets, and no projection or forecast is expressed or to be implied. |
| Where will the securities be traded? |
An application has been made to the FCA for the New Venture Shares to be admitted to the Official List and will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the New Venture Shares 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 the New Venture Shares will commence, within 10 business days of their allotment. |
| What are the key risks that are specific |
Set out below is a summary of the most material risk factors specific to the securities |
| to the securities? | x The market price of the Venture Shares may not fully reflect their underlying NAV, and dividends may not be paid over time, as expected. |
| x As with all VCT investments, despite being a listed security there is likely to be an illiquid market in the Venture Shares and investors are likely to find it difficult to realise their investment. There may be times in the year when the Company is prohibited from approving share repurchases, or the Board utilise their discretion not to repurchase shares and, therefore, investors should not rely on the Company's |
| share buyback policy to provide certainty of selling their Venture Shares at a price that reflects the underlying NAV. |
||
|---|---|---|
| x | If a shareholder disposes of his or her Venture Shares within five years of issue, he or she will be subject to clawback by HMRC of any income tax reliefs originally claimed. |
|
| x | Tax relief on subscriptions for Venture Shares is restricted if, within 6 months of subscription, whether before or after the subscription, the investor also disposes of shares in the Company. |
| Under which | Amount of Offer | |
|---|---|---|
| conditions and timetable can I invest in this security? |
Up to £10 million of New Venture Shares are being made available under the Offer at the Offer price set out below, with an over-allotment facility for up to a further £20 million of New Venture Shares. The New Venture Shares are payable by an applicant in full upon application. |
|
| Pricing of the Offer | ||
| The price per New Venture Share will be determined in accordance with the formula below, which is designed to maintain fairness for all investors under the Offer by ensuring that the value of each investor's holding of New Venture Shares reflects Triple Point Investment Management LLP's, TPV's investment manager ("Triple Point"), initial charge (the "Triple Point Initial Charge") and any initial and ongoing adviser charges (initial adviser charges and ongoing adviser charges for 5 years, if any, of up to, in aggregate, 4.5% of the monies received from an investor can be facilitated by TPV and Triple Point respectively). Triple Point's initial charge and any initial and ongoing adviser charges will be deducted from the monies received from an investor in determining the number of New Venture Shares to be issued to an investor under the Offer): |
||
| Price per New Venture Share = (A) / {100 – ([(B) + C] x 100)} (in units of £ per New Venture Share) |
||
| Where: (A) is the latest published NAV (in units of pence per Venture Share); (B) is the percentage initial charge payable by TPV to Triple Point, which includes the percentage initial commission (if any) payable by Triple Point to an authorised introducer; (C) is the percentage initial adviser charge (if any). |
||
| The price per New Venture Share (calculated in accordance with the formula above) will be rounded to the nearest 0.001 pence. |
||
| Investors who are existing shareholders of TPV, will benefit from the costs of the Offer being reduced by 1%. Applicants will receive this reduction in the form of TPIM's fees being reduced by 1%. |
||
| Terms, Conditions and Timetable | ||
| The Offer opens on 5 September 2025. The deadline for receipt of applications, and cleared funds, for final allotment in 2025/2026 tax year is 11 am on Thursday, 2 April 2026 and the deadline for receipt of applications, and cleared funds, for final allotment in the 2026/2027 tax year is 11 am on Friday, 31 July 2026. The closing date of the Offer, and the deadline for receipt of applications and cleared funds for the final allotment with respect to the Offer in respect of the 2026/2027 tax year, may be extended by the Directors at their absolute discretion to a date no later than 4 September 2026. It is expected that the admission to trading on the London Stock Exchange plc's main market for listed securities of the New Venture Shares that are the subject of the Offer will become effective within 10 business days of their allotment. |

|
| Adviser Charges and Commission | ||
| Adviser Charges | ||
| Commission is generally not permitted to be paid by TPV to intermediaries who provide a personal recommendation to retail clients on investments in VCTs. Instead, an adviser charge will usually be agreed between the intermediary and investor for the advice and |
| related services. This charge should be paid directly by the investor to the authorised financial adviser. Initial adviser charges and ongoing adviser charges for 5 years, if any, of up to, in aggregate, 4.5% of monies received from an investor can be facilitated by TPV and Triple Point respectively, which will be deducted from the monies received in determining the number of New Venture Shares to be issued to an investor. Investors should receive income tax relief on their full subscription amount (which includes initial adviser charges but excludes any amount for ongoing adviser charges). |
|
|---|---|
| Commission | |
| Commission of up to 3% may be paid where there is an execution-only transaction, and no advice has been provided by the intermediary to the investor or a commission of up to 3% where the intermediary has demonstrated to Triple Point that the investor is a professional client of the intermediary. Commission is payable by Triple Point out of its initial charge. Additionally, provided that the intermediary continues to act for the investor, that the investor continues to be the beneficial owner of the New Venture Shares, subject to applicable laws and regulations, and that Triple Point is still engaged by TPV under TPV's investment management agreement, the intermediary will usually be paid, subject to Triple Point's full discretion on both the amount and duration, an annual trail commission of 0.5% of each relevant investor's holding of Venture Shares, which will be paid out of the investment management fees payable to Triple Point for no more than 10 years from the date of investment. |
|
| Dilution | |
| The existing issued Venture Shares in the Company will represent 76.51% of the enlarged ordinary Venture Share capital of the Company immediately following the Offer, assuming that the Offer is fully subscribed, including the over-allotment facility, and with 30,265,826 New Venture Shares being issued at an Offer Price of 99.121693p, and on that basis Shareholders who do not subscribe under the Offer will, therefore, be diluted by 23.49%. |
|
| Why is this prospectus being produced? |
The intention of the Offer is to raise capital in TPV to acquire (and subsequently maintain) further VCT qualifying investments where the focus will be on early-stage companies. TPV has the ability to invest TPV in a variety of sectors where Triple Point is confident that investments can be structured to meet TPV's investment strategy. |
| The total net proceeds of the Offer, after all fees, are £28,350,000 (assuming a full subscription of £30 million including the £20 million over-allotment facility, and that the issue costs per New Venture Share are 5.5%). |
|
| The Offer is not subject to an underwriting agreement. | |
| No conflict of interest is material to the Offer. |
TPV and the Directors consider the following risks to be material to TPV and the Venture Shares and prospective Investors should consider these as well as the other information in the Prospectus before investing. If a risk described below was to occur, it could have a material adverse effect on TPV's business, financial condition, or results of operations. Also set out below are risks relating to TPV's investments, risks relating to tax reliefs including TPV's status as a VCT, and risks relating to the Investment Manager. Additional risks and uncertainties currently unknown to TPV and the Directors or which TPV and the Directors currently believe are immaterial may also have a materially adverse effect on TPV's business, financial condition, or results of operations.

If the application is not withdrawn within the stipulated period, any offer to apply for New Venture Shares under the Offer will remain valid and binding.

Triple Point Venture VCT plc The Scalpel 18th Floor, 52 Lime Street, London, EC3M 7AF
5 September 2025
Dear Shareholder/Investor,
On behalf of the Board of Triple Point Venture VCT plc, we thank Shareholders for their support and welcome new Shareholders since our last prospectus in September 2024. Whilst the fundraising for all VCTs in the 2024/25 tax year was up approximately 1.47% over the 2023/24 tax year1 , our last fundraise was up by approximately 17% on the previous year, reinforcing our belief that investor appetite for early-stage, business-to-business (B2B) companies, the type in which TPV invests, is undiminished. As a consequence, we are pleased with the returns for Shareholders to date and seek to build on this success by raising further funds through the new Offer.
Since its launch in 2018, the Venture Share Class has raised net proceeds of £100 million. We seek to deliver strong returns for Shareholders by funding and supporting ambitious, innovative early-stage companies as they build new technologies that drive growth across the UK economy. Our investee companies span multiple sectors, from fintech to healthcare software, and have provided Shareholders with strong risk-adjusted returns over the life of TPV.
Shareholders who invested at launch will have received tax-free dividends of 17p per Venture Share and hold Venture Shares valued at 93.67 pence per Venture Share as at 30 July 2025 for every £1 they subscribed, in addition to any initial tax relief claimed. This results in a total net asset value (NAV) return for Shareholders since launch to 30 July 2025 of 110.67 pence per Venture Share.
I am pleased to introduce the Offer to subscribe for New Venture Shares. This follows the previous offers for subscription launched annually by TPV since September 2018. TPV is seeking to raise £10 million through the Offer, with an over-allotment facility of a further £20 million. The Offer will be open from 5 September 2025 until 31 July 2026, unless fully subscribed or closed at an earlier date, or unless previously extended by the Directors. Subject to the Offer remaining open, Investors can invest between £3,000 and £200,000 in the Offer in either or both of the 2025/2026 and 2026/2027 tax years. TPV has a dividend reinvestment scheme (DRIS) that allows Shareholders to reinvest their dividends into new Shares, the terms and conditions of which can be found on TPV's website http://www.triplepoint.co.uk.
Qualifying UK taxpayers are entitled to claim several tax reliefs from VCT investments to encourage support for smaller, higher-risk companies. Depending on their personal circumstances, new investors could benefit from 30% income tax relief on investments of up to £200,000 per tax year, as well as tax-free dividends and tax-free capital gains. Further details on the tax benefits of VCT investments are on pages 44 and 45 of the Prospectus.
To thank TPV's supporters, Existing Shareholders will be eligible to receive a loyalty bonus of a 1% reduction in the costs of the Offer for applications received over the Offer period. More information can be found on page 42.
Founded in 2004, TPV's investment manager, Triple Point, has been investing in and supporting early-stage businesses for close to two decades and as at 30 June 2025 managed £2.485 billion of private, institutional and public capital. Triple Point is proud of its track record, providing over £450 million of funding to over 200 VCT and Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) investee companies. TPV has built on Triple Point's distinguished track record with a distinct approach to early-stage investing.
Now in its eighth fundraising year, an investment under the Offer for New Venture Shares would gain access to a ready-built portfolio of around 52 early-stage companies operating in the B2B market, and with the potential for significant long-term tax-free capital growth and long-term tax-free income. TPV targets an annual dividend of up to 5% of NAV per Venture Share, subject to capital realisations and income generated by investments.
TPV is managed by Triple Point's Ventures team. At the heart of the investment strategy for TPV are three core beliefs:
The Ventures team proactively seeks companies that combine core aspects such as leadership teams with deep market knowledge or active experience of their business sector, a product that is solving a real need for their business customers where the product is so important businesses will ensure they have the budget to pay for it, and are operating in a significant and diverse market meaning they have the ability, if successful, to become billion-pound companies. The team finds new investment opportunities from various sources, but increasingly, high-quality investment opportunities come from outbound research performed by Triple Point's investment team.
Triple Point reports that they continue to see a good flow of new opportunities for seed-stage investment while the existing portfolio remains well-positioned for future growth. The Investment Manager has deployed all the funds raised from offers prior to 2023 in a timely manner and has successfully deployed over 30% of the funds raised in the 2023 and 2024 offers into Qualifying Investments to date, with both pools of funds on track to be 100% deployed by their expected timelines.
While higher interest rates and inflation may have tempered the more recent volume of venture capital activity, it has presented an opportunity for those with resources to deploy, as start-up appetite for venture capital funding continues. We continue to see a variety of promising opportunities to invest in new ideas, each at the forefront of innovation. The Investment Manager believes that there are many ambitious founders ready for the next step in their growth journey – they just need the capital and unwavering support that VCT investment can provide.
Therefore, to stay at the forefront of these transformative changes and be in a position to react to and benefit from any emerging opportunities as they arise, the Board believes now is the right time to raise additional capital to position TPV advantageously in the evolving market landscape. By raising additional funds, it will be primed to back the next wave of disruptive technology. The Investment Manager's progress gives us confidence that TPV can profitably deploy the new resources sought in this Offer.
By venture capital standards, it is still relatively early days for TPV. However, now in its eighth year, the Board has seen a promising performance from several portfolio companies, as well as a significant amount of new capital raised for portfolio companies in later-stage funding rounds led by third-party investors. The portfolio has grown substantially since launch with around 52 qualifying companies currently. Since 2019, TPV's portfolio companies have created an estimated 2,500 new jobs.
We continue to back fast-growing companies that are winning plaudits and disrupting their respective industries, a feature which is evident across the portfolio. Notable examples of revenue-growing companies include:
This impressive growth has helped to underpin the later-stage funding rounds some companies have undertaken. We believe this demonstrates that TPV now offers investors access to a well-diversified portfolio of fast-growing early-stage B2B businesses with global potential that began life here in the UK and flourished due to VCT funding.
Triple Point believes it is important to share the risk alongside investors by continuing to invest its own money in its investment products. To date, Triple Point's partners and employees have invested over £6 million in Triple Point-managed vehicles, including £0.35 million in TPV.
The Application Form for the Offer is available on Triple Point's website http://www.triplepoint.co.uk. The terms and conditions of subscription for New Venture Shares are set out on pages 75 to 77, and the risks related to investing in the New Venture Shares are outlined on pages 12 to 14.
Once again, I thank all our Shareholders for their support as TPV moves forward, and I look forward to welcoming both increased participation and new Shareholders through this Offer.
Yours sincerely,
Chair

The Offer builds on Triple Point's long track record of investing in small, growing UK companies. Small businesses are also the backbone of the UK economy, making up three fifths of private sector employment and over 99% of all private sector businesses at the start of 2024 (source: Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy: Business Population Estimates for the UK and the Regions 2024). For these reasons, the UK Government recognises the importance of supporting and encouraging investment into this sector.
The Offer aims to provide Investors with exposure to young, innovative companies with the potential to deliver ground-breaking technology or products at scale, transform markets and achieve significant growth over an expected investment horizon of at least five years. Businesses targeted by TPV will qualify for VCT investment and will have the potential to generate long term capital growth for the Company. Venture capital is an exciting asset class at the forefront of global trends and innovation, most recently illustrated by the wave of start-ups seeking to exploit the opportunities presented by advances in Artificial Intelligence ("AI"). TPV now has a portfolio of around 52 Qualifying Investments across 20 sectors (and includes a number of companies exploiting the potential of AI within different end-customer sectors).
TPV generally uses a "challenge-led" investment strategy, which focuses on early-stage businesses whose software or technology aims to solve significant problems faced by large, medium or small sized business customers. This is the TPV's business-to-business (B2B) thematic focus. Triple Point works with an extensive network of entrepreneurs, angel investors, advisors and venture capital investors (the "Triple Point Venture Network") to originate a large volume of such investment opportunities for TPV. Triple Point's investment team, working with advisors where appropriate, will then evaluate a prospective investee company's management team, product and customer market. In this assessment, Triple Point is looking at a founding team's domain expertise, entrepreneurial track record, product development skill sets and the overall market within which the firm is operating. Based on this analysis the team will decide whether to proceed with an investment opportunity and propose it to Triple Point's investment committee.
At the time TPV invests, these innovative small businesses are developing their brand and beginning to produce revenue. From time-to-time, Triple Point supports these brands with marketing and PR assistance from partners within the Triple Point Venture Network. Some investments may be made at the pre-revenue stage, where the combination of founding team and their product and market focus are particularly compelling.
TPV may be the sole investor, lead or cornerstone investor in the business or may decide to invest alongside other funding partners. In the last 12 months to the date of the prospectus the average size of an initial investment into an individual investee company has been approximately £1.26m, and for follow-on investments into portfolio companies has been £849,000. These investment quantums are likely to increase with the size of the Company.
Triple Point and its advisors, where possible, provide support to the investee company during the period where they are seeking to establish product-market fit (i.e. that they are solving a problem that will see their product adopted by a wide customer audience). This engagement also allows Triple Point to understand potential investee companies and identify their potential early, consequently enabling TPV to capture the value made by companies as they begin their fast growth journey. Given the nature of this approach, target investee companies will usually be at an early stage of their lifecycle and seeking a significant capital injection in order to scale the business. Overall, TPV's strategy is designed to capitalise on the larger number of exits that companies with a B2B model deliver. In research completed by Beauhurst and Triple Point in 2022, B2B companies were two times more likely to exit than business-to-consumer (B2C) businesses.
With this approach, Triple Point will provide Investors with access to a wide range of investments across sectors and technologies. As the Venture Share Class has matured its portfolio has grown to around 52 companies; this is presenting the Fund with numerous follow-on funding opportunities which add to Qualifying Investment deployment capacity. Triple Point expect approximately 50% of the funds raised to be allocated to follow-on investments, although this is subject to change.
Target investee companies are likely to have already secured, or be in the process of securing, a contract from a meaningful customer organisation. TPV has a portfolio of around 52 investments in different qualifying companies and at investment typically takes equity stakes of 1% to 18%. At initial investment, Triple Point will obtain information rights and will usually secure either a director or a board observer right.
Triple Point is motivated to deploy proceeds promptly into businesses, with the intention of investing 90% of new funds raised into Qualifying Investments over a two-year period, or earlier depending on the quality of investment opportunities available. For liquidity management purposes, funds awaiting deployment may be invested into permitted investments such as cash and other highly liquid investments with an attractive return profile (which may be repurchased, redeemed, or paid out on no more than seven days' notice).
TPV expects more than half of the total amount raised under the Offer will be used to fund new investments in ambitious early-stage companies. The remainder will be used as follow-on funding in portfolio companies that have proved successful enough to warrant further support.
TPV is seeking to raise up to £10 million under the Offer. If the Offer is over-subscribed, the Offer may be increased at the discretion of the Directors by up to a further £20 million. The proceeds of the Offer will be applied in accordance with TPV's Investment Policy as set out on pages 25 and 26.
The Offer will remain open until a date no later than 31 July 2026 unless fully subscribed at an earlier date or unless previously extended by the Directors, to a date no later than 4 September 2026. An application will be made for all of the New Venture Shares issued under the Offer to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities.
The tax rules governing VCT investments make TPV tax efficient for those with UK income tax liabilities. Taxpayers should benefit from a reduction of up to £3,000 in their tax bill for every £10,000 invested, provided the New Venture Shares are held for a period of at least five years and so long as TPV maintains its VCTqualifying status.
Dividend income from TPV will be tax free and there will be no capital gains tax on a disposal of New Venture Shares after a holding period of five years.
| No VCT tax relief | VCT tax relief | |
|---|---|---|
| Initial investment | £200,000 | £200,000 |
| 30% income tax relief | Nil | (£60,000) |
| Effective current cost of the investment |
£200,000 | £140,000 |
This is a brief summary only and such tax benefits are subject to an Investor's individual circumstances and are limited to investments of up to £200,000 per tax year. Investors are encouraged to seek their own independent tax advice. Further general information on the tax reliefs available for investing in a VCT is given in Section B of Part 1.
TPV's Investment Policy is as follows:
TPV's Investment Policy is directed towards new investments in businesses which have the potential for high growth with the development or use of new technology being at the core of the commercial opportunity. All investments must provide the potential for a strong, positive, risk-adjusted return to investors. All investments will be made with the intention of growing and developing the revenues and profitability of the target businesses.
TPV focuses on providing funding to unquoted companies at an early stage in their lifecycle to help them grow and scale. TPV typically makes initial investments of between £100,000 and £2 million and may make further follow-on investments into existing portfolio companies. The intention is to build a portfolio of predominantly unquoted companies with significant growth potential across a diversified range of sectors.
TPV will not vary any of these objectives to any material extent without the approval of the Shareholders.
TPV aims to invest most of its capital fully in VCT Qualifying Investments. The long term investment profile of TPV is expected to be:
Investment decisions made must adhere to HMRC's VCT qualification rules. In considering a prospective investment in a company, particular regard is made to:
(h) the long-term prospect of being sold or listed in the future at a significant multiple of the initial investment value; and
(i) no more than 10% of the NAV of TPV will be invested in companies which are not revenue-generating (at the point of investment) or where there is no expectation of revenues being generated in the near future.
As the value of investments increase, Triple Point will monitor opportunities for TPV to realise capital gains to enable TPV to make tax-free distributions to Shareholders.
The Non-Qualifying Investments will be managed with the intention of generating a positive return. The Non-Qualifying Investments will comprise from time to time a variety of assets including (a) short term deposits of money, shares or units in alternative investment funds (which have the meaning given by regulation 3 of the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Regulations 2013) or in undertakings for the collective investment in transferable securities (which have the meaning given by Section 363A(4) of the Taxation (International and Other Provisions) Act 2010), which may be repurchased, redeemed, or paid out on no more than seven days' notice; and (b) ordinary shares or securities in a company which are acquired on a regulated market (defined in Section S274(4) ITA 2007).
Any borrowing by TPV for the purposes of making investments will be in accordance with TPV's articles of association. To the extent that borrowing is required, the Directors will restrict the borrowings of TPV and exercise all voting and other rights or powers of control over its subsidiary undertakings (if any) to ensure that the aggregate amount of money borrowed by the group, being TPV and any subsidiary undertakings for the time being, (excluding intra-group borrowings), will not, without shareholder approval, exceed 30 per cent of its NAV at the time of any borrowing.
TPV aims to invest in a number of different businesses within different industry sectors but may focus investments in a single sector where appropriate to do so. No single investment by TPV will represent more than 15 per cent of the aggregate NAV of TPV at the time the investment is made.
All unquoted investments will be valued in accordance with International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation (IPEV) or similar guidelines. A brief summary of the IPEV guidelines as they apply to TPV's investments is as follows:
TPV may invest alongside other funds or entities managed or advised by the Investment Manager which would help TPV to broaden its range of investments or the scale of opportunities more than if it were investing on its own. It is possible that conflicts may arise in these circumstances between different funds or between TPV and the Investment Manager. The Investment Manager maintains robust conflict of interest procedures to manage potential conflicts and issues are resolved at the discretion of the independent board of TPV.
TPV will distribute by way of dividend, where there are sufficient applicable reserves, such amount as ensures that it retains not more than 15% of its income from Shares and securities. The Directors aim to maximise tax-free distributions to Shareholders of income or realised gains. It is envisaged that TPV will distribute most of its net income each year by way of dividend, subject to liquidity. TPV intends to distribute regular dividends of up to 5% of NAV per Share per annum. TPV's ability to pay dividends is subject to the existence of realised profits, legislative requirements, and the available cash reserves.
TPV aims, but is not committed, to offer liquidity to Shareholders through on-going share buybacks, subject to the availability of distributable reserves and funds, at a target value which is priced at a discount of 5% to the prevailing net asset value, the 5% discount being inclusive of the broker fee paid charged by TPV's corporate broker, Panmure Liberum, for facilitating the share buyback.
After an anticipated holding period of between seven and ten years, which may include follow-on investments into investee companies as appropriate, Triple Point intends to identify opportunities to exit investments. Exits will typically be realised through trade sales to businesses, acquisitions by private equity funds, or selling shareholdings to later stage venture and growth capital funds during the course of further investee company fundraising activity. Sales during the course of further investee company fundraising activity may include investee companies buying back shares at a price reflecting the valuation at that stage. The proceeds of any realisation will be used to identify further investment opportunities and to pay dividends to Shareholders.
The Board consists of three highly experienced Directors, all of whom are non-executive and independent of the Investment Manager. The Board is responsible for the overall control and management of TPV with responsibility for its affairs, including determining its Investment Policy. Primary responsibility for the execution of TPV's Investment Policy lies with Triple Point, with the Board overseeing its activities. The Board will meet at least four times a year. Additionally, special meetings will take place or other arrangements will be made when Board decisions are required in advance of regular meetings.

Triple Point Group has a team of over 220 asset management, legal and finance professionals. As at 30 June 2025, the Investment Manager managed £2.485 billion of private, institutional and public capital in: energy assets, property, central and local government projects, NHS hospital trusts, SMEs and infrastructure including lease and asset finance.
TPV's former Ordinary Share Fund, a limited life offer which closed for investment in 2011 and was exited in 2016, returned a total of 115.05p to shareholders over the life of the Ordinary Shares, through dividends and growth in net asset value.

The Triple Point Investment Management Team has many years' experience investing in early-stage companies. This has enabled it to establish and maintain an extensive network of entrepreneurs, experienced advisers, and agents to ensure that regular deal flow will be available. In addition, Triple Point continues to regularly identify or receive approaches for attractive investment opportunities across a number of sectors.
Triple Point is also well positioned to help early-stage companies overcome the obstacle of limited available funding from traditional lenders such as banks and simultaneously deliver competitive returns to Investors. In the UK's current uncertain economic climate, the Directors believe that there are significant opportunities for investment in innovative UK businesses with new technologies and significant scalability. As at 31 August 2025, 59.7% of the Venture Share Class funds raised since 29 March 2019 had already been deployed into 60 Qualifying Investments, four having since been realised (Credit Kudos, Localz, Pixie and Tickitto). Negotiations were ongoing in respect of 2 further venture investments, the Investment Management Team were conducting research on over 100 further potential investments by the Company. The Board and the Investment Manager are confident that the further funds to be raised under the Offer, and existing funds awaiting deployment, can be invested into suitable Qualifying Investments comfortably before the statutory VCT deployment deadlines.
Triple Point is an experienced manager of investments across a diverse range of sectors. Investment has included companies specialising in Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Digital Health, Fintech, and other new and disruptive technologies.
The long-term success of a VCT ultimately depends on the growth of the individual companies that form the VCT's portfolio. In this respect, TPV's portfolio growth since inception has been impressive. As a collective, the value of the portfolio companies has increased from £154 million in February 2020 to £1.6 billion in June 2025.
Revenue growth is an important metric for early-stage companies, as it demonstrates a genuine appetite for a company's products or services, and ensures the company can cover its costs and gain traction. The portfolio companies from TPV's 2019 cohort have achieved revenue growth at an annualised rate of 5.8x between 2019 and 2025. Overall, TPV's portfolio has seen combined revenue growth increase from £4.2 million in 2019 to £211 million in June 2025.
Moreover, this growth is not just evident in company valuations. Since 2019, TPV's portfolio companies have created an estimated 2,500 new jobs3 , demonstrating the positive impact VCTs such as TPV can have on the growth and long-term prosperity of the UK economy.
Many of the companies within the TPV portfolio are already achieving exceptional growth metrics and either rapidly expanding their user base or growing their market share. To illustrate this, here are three company examples:
Outlined below are three investment case studies which illustrate the type of investments that TPV may make in the future.
Since 2019, Birmingham-based Modo Energy has sought to "transform the energy industry through transparency of data". The leadership team has strong expertise in this sector. CEO Quentin Scrimshire was previously Head of Energy Storage at Kiwi Power and also spent four years working on battery energy storage projects at Centrica. Tim Overton, Modo's Chief Operating Officer, spent six years with energy engineering consultancy Fichtner.
Renewable energy relies on batteries to store energy when the sun doesn't shine, or the wind doesn't blow. Modo's 'all-in-one' technology platform helps companies, investors and energy consultants see how battery energy storage systems save energy and money. Data gathered from over 15 independent sources delivers focused and actionable insights on energy markets and energy asset performance, including historical revenue performance, current market trends and future potential.
Battery energy storage systems don't just help with lowering carbon emissions. They also ensure a consistent and reliable supply of renewable energy, provide backup power during emergencies and help the grid cope with periods of high energy consumption. As the demand for cleaner energy sources accelerates, the global battery market is set to expand to a total value of \$330 billion by 2030.4

TPV participated in a funding round for Modo in March 2023, and made a follow-on Series A investment in October 2023 and a further Series A investment in December 2024 to help with its US expansion plans. TPV sees Modo as extremely well-positioned within its market, and its continued investment demonstrates our belief in backing winners.
After radiologist Jasper Nissim and Dr Khalid Latief began noticing the difficulties of arranging scans quickly for patients, they decided to create a diagnostic imaging marketplace "accessible to everyone, everywhere". Together with serial entrepreneurs Charlie Bullock and Oliver Knight, they formed Scan.com to dramatically speed up the process of booking and receiving results for medical imaging scans.
London-based Scan.com has partnered with over 150 scanning centres across the UK, so patients can find an MRI, CT or ultrasound scan near them no matter where they are located. Patients can book scans via an easy-to-use online booking system and receive a referral, scan and results in one week, with a price to suit their budget.
With one in four NHS patients waiting on average longer than six weeks for medical imaging scans such as MRI or CT scans, there's an urgent and growing need to speed up the process so patients can be scanned and treated for serious health conditions sooner. We were attracted by the blend of qualities offered by the leadership team, and the company's partnerships with the UK's largest healthcare firms, including Nuffield Health and Aviva.
TPV led Scan.com's seed funding round in July 2022 and also participated in Series A and Series B funding rounds in April 2023 and December 2023. TPV has been impressed by the company's growth and expansion into German and American healthcare markets.

Fertifa's Executive Director is Eileen Burbidge, one of the UK's biggest names in venture capital and founder partner of Passion Capital. Eileen is leading Fertifa's expansion efforts and delivering on its ambition to make Fertifa the UK and Europe's leading reproductive healthcare provider.

According to the World Health Organization, roughly one in six people globally struggle with fertility. However, fertility is a healthcare need that continues to be underserved by public healthcare. At the same time, female and male fertility, menopause and broader reproductive health topics are increasingly impacting the workplace.
We co-led Fertifa's £5 million seed funding round in June 2023, and we continue to be impressed by the company's growing number of employee benefit partnerships with companies across the UK, Europe and the US, including global brands such as Meta, Aviva, Sony Music, and Lululemon. Fertifa was also featured in WIRED's hottest startups list for 2023, underlining its stellar reputation and growth potential.
Outlined below is a case study on TPV's first profitable exit, illustrating how the strategy aims to sell businesses at a profit.
Founded in 2015, London-based Credit Kudos was a credit reference agency that used open banking to analyse behavioural spending data. CEO Freddy Kelly. Freddy started his career as a software engineer in Silicon Valley, developing web applications for the likes of Google, Microsoft, and Amazon. When Freddy returned to the UK, he realised his lack of UK credit history meant he had access to fewer credit options as a result. He developed Credit Kudos to replace "traditional, narrow methods" of credit assessment and make credit fairer and more accessible.
The Ventures team saw that the market was huge and also ripe for disruption – the three biggest credit reference agencies, Experian, Equifax and TransUnion, have a combined annual turnover of \$10.4 billion. Open banking data, shared between different institutions and systems, is more reliable and valuable, allowing consumer lenders to make better and faster credit decisions rather than relying on the backward-looking data of the main credit reference agencies.
TPV made its first VCT investment in Credit Kudos in March 2020 and gave Freddie and his team the support they needed to improve their technology and proposition. In February 2022, Credit Kudos was acquired by Apple Inc. for \$150 million, making it Apple's first major UK fintech acquisition. The acquisition share price was 5.2x the price at which TPV invested.
At the later of (i) the tenth anniversary of the admission of Venture Shares under the 2018 Offer and (ii) the tenth anniversary of the last allotment of Venture Shares, the Directors are required to put an ordinary resolution to Shareholders and, if passed, the Directors must draw up proposals for the reorganisation or reconstruction of TPV for submission to the members of TPV at a general meeting to be convened by the Directors as soon as reasonably practicable, without prejudice to the VCT status of TPV.
Triple Point sees its approaches to venture capital investing and sustainability as natural allies. Sustainability themes often play out over the longer term and TPV's investments have a longer-term investment horizon. Ensuring an understanding of how sustainability themes (such as climate change, resource management, or worker wellbeing) may affect the success of a potential investment is an important step in the decision-making process.
Furthermore, it is also Triple Point's belief that retrofitting a sustainable business mind-set and model, can be very time consuming and challenging further down the line. The Triple Point Investment Management Team invests for growth and so it takes a considered judgement that these issues could come to bear during or at exit if they are not considered at the point of investment.
Triple Point believes that a material and proportionate approach to sustainability assessment and ESG integration can bring added value to the growth and success trajectory of TPV's portfolio companies. Proportionate action is imperative given the small size and early stage of the companies TPV invests in. Triple Point has carefully tailored its approach to ESG integration to limit additional burden, and, wherever feasible, bring value, to the management teams of TPV's investee companies.
In summary, Triple Point believes that taking sustainability into account can identify emerging trends and areas of interesting investment opportunity, while ESG integration forms a critical part of risk mitigation. When done well, it can enhance returns, preserve value for TPV's investors, and provide positive sustainability outcomes for people and our planet.
In 2019, Triple Point became a signatory to the Principles for Responsible Investment ("PRI"). Triple Point believes these principles are helpful in guiding and demonstrating best practice in investor approach to sustainability and ESG integration. They also help promote a closer alignment between the objectives of institutional investors and those of society at large. The Principles are voluntary and intended to be actionable and measurable. Triple Point seeks to promote these principles throughout its business and all of its investment strategies.
Triple Point is proud to have been accredited as a B Corp in December 2022.
Triple Point aligns with international standards and good industry practice, including monitoring industry regulation (such as the UK's Bribery Act 2010, and the CA 2006) and investor-led initiatives (such as the PRI), as the foundation of its ESG integration approach.
Using these foundational principles, Triple Point has developed an in-house approach to add value to the investment process through ESG integration. It places proportionate expectations on the investee company, according to its sector, size, and stage of growth.
The following details Triple Point's staged approach to its ESG integration:
Restricted sectors: TPV will not invest into the following sectors.
Tobacco and related products Adult entertainment Gambling Controversial or unconventional weapons Animal testing
Please also refer to the Triple Point Responsible Investment Guide for full details on the activity and sector exclusions applied, which can be found at: https://www.triplepoint.co.uk/sustainability-resources/.ESG Assessment: Triple Point has developed an ESG assessment which accounts for the unique nature of early seed investment. Rather than an over-structured scorecard the approach uses open questions to uncover insight and support dialogue on how a company understands its responsibilities and how sustainability themes may impact its success. The process also helps to uncover where Triple Point may be able to support a company that would like to develop its activities in this area.
The team is also encouraged to debate the results of the assessment to further understand the implications of the assessment.
Assessment details are included in the Investment Committee paper and may lead to further questioning and follow-up.
Engagement: Upon acquisition, Triple Point requests ESG matters are included within Board meetings a minimum of once per annum. The manager also encourages companies to engage in industry activities which look to support the development of sustainable behaviours within small companies and help lock in behaviours which will endure as the company grows and prepares for exit (for example B Corp application).
To ensure the effective and consistent application of this approach, Triple Point operates an ESG Integration Policy which details how ESG considerations are taken into account throughout the investment process, from the point of origination to exit. Triple Point takes a practical, proportionate, and material approach to ESG integration, containing two key elements:
Triple Point is committed to evaluating the success of its approaches. For example, amendments to the due diligence process were recently introduced, reflecting a desire to further the value of the process.
Every 12 to 18 months the Head of Sustainability conducts a review of the integration process to ensure due process is being followed and results are reported to Triple Point's Sustainability Group, which is chaired by Triple Point's co-managing partner Ben Beaton. Results are used to implement improvement plans as and where appropriate.
TPV and Triple Point are increasingly mindful of the impact that their activities and those of the businesses in which they invest have not just on the environment, but also on their employees, communities, and society at large.
TPV's investment businesses help create new employment, develop, and implement new technologies and products, improve productivity all of which contribute to the UK economy and have benefit to those employed in those businesses and their supply chains. Triple Point believes that a well implemented sustainability approach can contribute to and enhance these outcomes.

VCTs were established in 1995/1996 as tax efficient investment vehicles intended to invest in portfolios of smaller unlisted UK based companies.
For the current tax year VCTs offer a combination of tax-free returns and a 30% up front income tax relief subject to a minimum five-year holding period.
Depending upon the Investor's personal circumstances, subscribers for New Venture Shares under the Offer will be entitled to income tax relief of up to 30% provided that the New Venture Shares are held for at least five years. This benefit is available on aggregate investments in VCTs of up to £200,000 in any one tax year but the tax relief is limited to the amount which reduces the Investor's income tax liability to nil.
In addition, qualifying subscribers will be entitled to receive the following benefits:
Income tax relief may be claimed by the Investor by obtaining, from HMRC, an adjustment to their tax coding under the PAYE system or through the Investor's annual tax return. Investors who make income tax payments by instalments may reduce their instalment payments to take account of the relief due.
The above is only a summary of the law concerning the tax position of individual Investors in TPV. Further information on the tax position of Investors under the Offer is set out in Section B of Part 1.
Before investing in TPV, potential Investors should seek advice from an appropriate professional adviser as to the consequences of so doing.
TPV has obtained approval as a VCT from HMRC and HMRC has confirmed that the Venture Shares are eligible shares for VCT income tax relief purposes. The Directors intend to manage TPV's affairs in order that it complies with the legislation applicable to VCTs, and there are internal controls in place to ensure that TPV does so. In this regard Philip Hare & Associates LLP has been appointed to advise on VCT tax matters generally and, in particular, on TPV's VCT status. TPV must continue to satisfy the requirements to qualify as a VCT or lose such status.
TPV will pay to Triple Point a single fee for promoting the Offer equal to the aggregate of (i) 5.5% of the aggregate value of accepted applications for New Venture Shares from Investors who have not invested their money through a financial intermediary/adviser and have invested directly into TPV (ii) 2.5% of the aggregate value of accepted applications for New Venture Shares from advised Investors who have invested their money through a financial adviser, other than professional Investors and (iii) 5.5% of the aggregate value of accepted applications for New Venture Shares from Investors who have invested their money through an Execution-Only Broker or who are professional Investors, or such lower percentage in each case as may be agreed by the Board and the Investment Manager. Assuming that the Offer is fully subscribed, including the over-allotment facility, and that Triple Point receives a fee of 5.5% of the aggregate value of all accepted applications for New Venture Shares, the fee payable to Triple Point will be £1,650,000, which represents 1.97% of TPV's net assets as shown in its audited financial statements for the year ended 28 February 2025. Triple Point has agreed to indemnify TPV against the costs of the Offer, excluding VAT, exceeding 5.5% of the funds it raises. From this sum, Triple Point will discharge all external costs, including initial commissions and its own costs, in respect of the Offer but excluding any initial and ongoing charges agreed between an authorised financial adviser and the Investor. The payment of initial and ongoing charges for 5 years agreed between an authorised financial adviser and the Investor, if any, of up to, in aggregate, 4.5% of the monies received from an Investor can be facilitated by TPV and Triple Point respectively, which, together with Triple Point's initial fee, will be deducted from the amount subscribed under the Offer for the purpose of determining the number of New Venture Shares to be issued to an Investor.
Triple Point has been appointed as TPV's Investment Manager under the IMA and TPAL arranges and executes investments (including divestment) on behalf of TPV.
The IMA provides for the following:
hurdle, there is a 20% performance fee payable to the Manager of the amounts over the threshold. The performance incentive fee will be reduced to the extent that the total return to Shareholders is less than their original subscription and a pro rata portion of the performance incentive fee will be paid to the Manager only after Shareholders have been investors in TPV for over five years. In accordance with the UK Listing Rules, the Performance Incentive Fee Amendment will be subject to the approval of Shareholders.
TPV may, in addition, elect to pay the Triple Point Venture Network a fee of up to 2.5% on funds invested into qualifying companies. The fee will be structured to align the long-term interests of the Triple Point Venture Network and TPV. Typically, this will be in the form of an issue of shares in the qualifying company.
Annual Directors' fees payable to the Board will not exceed £100,000 (excluding any VAT or national insurance contributions).
Assuming £30 million is raised under the Offer, with full utilisation of the over-allotment facility, and that the costs of the Offer are 5.5%, the Directors estimate that the Annual Running Costs will be approximately 2.82% of TPV's NAV (excluding VAT) as opposed to approximately 2.98% of TPV's NAV (excluding VAT) prior to the Offer. Such running costs of TPV will include the management fee described above and the administration fee payable to Hanway Advisory Limited as set out in paragraph 14.8 of Part 4 as well as fees for Directors, the auditors, taxation advisers, registrar, other direct costs incurred in the management/running of TPV and the costs of communicating with Shareholders.
The Directors are committed to communicating regularly with Shareholders. A copy of TPV's annual report and financial statements (expected to be published each May) and a copy of TPV's unaudited interim financial report (expected to be published each October) will be made available on Triple Point's website at www.triplepoint.co.uk and sent to those Shareholders who have requested a hard copy. TPV's annual report and financial statements, made up to 28 February in each year, and interim financial reports, made up to 31 August in each year, will each detail the NAV per Share. Information on the NAV per Share will also be included in NAV announcements made periodically in each year and published on the above website.
The Directors do not anticipate any circumstances arising under which valuations may be suspended.
All qualifying Shareholders will be provided with certificates as soon as practicable following allotment of New Venture Shares enabling them to claim income tax relief on their investment in New Venture Shares.
TPV is classified by the FCA as an alternative investment fund (an "AIF"). Under the UK's post-Brexit rendering of the Alternative Investment Fund Management Directive (the "AIFM Directive"), each AIF managed within the scope of the AIFM Directive has a single alternative investment fund manager (an "AIFM") responsible for ensuring compliance with the AIFM Directive. An AIFM must provide, at a minimum, portfolio management and risk management services to one or more AIFs as its regular business irrespective of where the AIFs are located or what legal form the AIF takes. The Investment Manager, who is registered as a full scope AIFM under the AIFM Directive, is TPV's AIFM.
Triple Point Investment Management LLP (FRN: 456597) and Triple Point Administration LLP are both authorised and regulated by the FCA.
The New Venture Shares are offered at a price to be determined in accordance with the Venture Share Price Calculation payable in full upon application.
Up to £10 million is being raised by the issue of New Venture Shares under the Offer. If the Offer is oversubscribed, the Offer may be increased at the discretion of the Directors by up to a further £20 million by issue of New Venture Shares. In the event that applications are received in excess of the maximum subscription under the Offer, the Directors reserve the right to use their absolute discretion in the allocation of successful applications. Such discretion will give priority to the earliest applicants. The results of the Offer will be announced to the London Stock Exchange through a Regulatory Information Service provider authorised by the FCA. Applicants are encouraged to submit their application form early in order to be confident that their application will be successful.
The minimum investment under the Offer is £3,000 for investments in either or both of the 2025/2026 and 2026/2027 tax years whilst the Offer remains open. The minimum investment of £3,000 applies to each tax year and therefore, to invest in both tax years, the minimum total commitment is £6,000. There is no maximum investment but the maximum investment on which tax reliefs are currently available is £200,000 in VCTs in a tax year. An Investor and their spouse or civil partner can each invest up to £200,000 in any one tax year. Further information with regard to taxation matters can be found in Section B of Part 1 of this document. Multiple applications are permitted. Please see the "Terms and Conditions of Application for New Venture Shares under the Offer" in Part 6 of this document for further details.
The ISIN and SEDOL codes of the Venture Shares are GB00BDTYGZ09 and BDTYGZ0 respectively.
The price per New Venture Share and the number of New Venture Shares to be issued to Investors will be determined by the Investment Manager and agreed by the Board in accordance with the formula below, which is designed to maintain fairness for all Investors under the Offer by ensuring that the value of each Investor's holding of New Venture Shares reflects the costs of the Offer, that is the amount of initial commission, if any, payable to the Investor's authorised introducer, the amount of initial and ongoing charges, if any, payable to the Investor's authorised financial adviser and the amount paid to Triple Point. Investors should receive income tax relief on their full subscription amount.
The Price per New Venture Share = (A) / {100 – ([(B) + (C)] x 100)} (in units of £ per New Venture Share)
Where: (A) is the latest published NAV (in units of pence per Venture Share);
(B) is the percentage initial charge payable by TPV to Triple Point, which includes the percentage initial commission (if any) payable by Triple Point to an authorised introducer;
(C) is the percentage initial adviser charge (if any).
The price per New Venture Share (calculated in accordance with the formula above) will be rounded to the nearest 0.001 pence.
The number of New Venture Shares to be allotted is then determined, as follows:
Number of New Venture Shares to be allotted = amount subscribed under the Offer/ price per New Venture Share.
The number of New Venture Shares to be allotted will be rounded down to the nearest whole New Venture Share.
Existing Shareholders will benefit from the costs of the Offer being reduced by 1%. Applicants will receive this reduction in the form of TPIM's fees being reduced by 1%.
A professional client Investor, having been advised by an authorised introducer, subscribes £100,000 under the Offer and his application is accepted. The NAV, (A), is 100 pence per Venture Share at this time. The amount payable to Triple Point, (B), is 5.5% of the application value, which includes a commission payment of 3% of the subscription amount agreed to be paid to the authorised introducer.
Therefore, the price per New Venture Share is: 100 / {100 – (5.5% x 100)} = £1.05820 per New Venture Share (rounded to 5 decimal places).
For £100,000 subscribed, this will result in an allocation of: £100,000 / £1.05820 per New Venture Share = 94,500 New Venture Shares.
TPV will pay the initial charge to Triple Point, which includes the commission payable to the authorised introducer.
Commission is generally not permitted to be paid to intermediaries who provide a personal recommendation to retail clients on investments in VCTs after 30 December 2012. Instead, an adviser charge may be agreed in advance between the authorised financial adviser and Investor for the advice and related services and paid directly by the Investor to the authorised financial adviser. Initial adviser charges and ongoing adviser charges for 5 years, if any, of up to, in aggregate, 4.5% of monies received from an Investor can be facilitated by TPV and Triple Point respectively, which will be deducted from the monies received in determining the number of New Venture Shares to be issued to an Investor under the Offer. Investors should receive income tax relief on their full subscription amount (which includes initial adviser charges but excludes ongoing adviser charges).
Commission of up to 3% may be paid where there is an execution-only transaction, and no advice has been provided by the intermediary to the Investor, or a commission of up to 3% where the intermediary has demonstrated to Triple Point that the Investor is a professional client of the intermediary. Commission is payable by Triple Point out of its initial charge. Additionally, provided that the intermediary continues to act for the Investor, that the Investor continues to be the beneficial owner of the New Venture Shares, subject to applicable laws and regulations, and that Triple Point is still engaged by TPV under the IMA, the intermediary will usually, subject to Triple Point's full discretion on both the amount and duration, be paid an annual trail commission of 0.5% of each relevant Investor's holding, which will be paid out of the investment management fees payable to Triple Point for no more than 5 years from the date of investment.
An application has been made to the FCA and will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the New Venture Shares subscribed for under the Offer to be listed on the Official List and admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities respectively. The New Venture Shares will be issued in registered form and will be freely transferable in both certificated and un-certificated form and will rank pari-passu in all respects and are not redeemable. New Venture Shares in respect of applications received for the 2025/2026 Offer will be issued and allotted on or before 2 April 2026 and it is expected that New Venture Shares in respect of applications received for the 2026/2027 Offer will be issued and allotted on or before 31 July 2026, with Admission commencing within 10 Business Days following such allotment. Details of allotments and the subscription price for New Venture Shares will be announced through a Regulatory Information Service by no later than the Business Day following the allotment. Share certificates and certificates to enable a claim for income tax relief to be made in respect of the New Venture Shares will be posted to Shareholders within 30 Business Days of allotment of the New Venture Shares. No temporary documents of title will be issued. The Offer is not underwritten.
The following is only a summary of the law concerning the tax position of individual investors in VCTs in the 2025/26 tax year. Potential investors who are in any doubt about the taxation consequences of investing in a VCT are recommended to consult a professional adviser. 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 set out below are available to individuals aged 18 or over who subscribe for New Venture Shares. Whilst there is no specific limit on the amount of an individual's acquisition of shares in a VCT, tax reliefs will only be given to the extent that the total of an individual's subscriptions or other acquisitions of shares in VCTs does not exceed £200,000. Investors who intend to invest more than £200,000 in VCTs in any one tax year should seek professional advice.
(a) Relief from income tax on investment
Income tax relief at the rate of 30% will be available on subscriptions for New Venture Shares up to a maximum of £200,000. This relief is limited to the amount which reduces the Investor's income tax liability to nil.
The potential effect of this relief for an Investor subscribing £100,000 for New Venture Shares is shown below:
| No VCT tax relief | 30% income tax relief | |
|---|---|---|
| Initial investment | £100,000 | £100,000 |
| 30% income tax relief | Nil | (£30,000) |
| Effective investment cost | £100,000 | £70,000 |
To obtain relief an Investor may subscribe for New Venture Shares either on his own behalf or the New Venture Shares may be subscribed for by a nominee of an Investor. Investments to be used as security for or financed by loans may not qualify for relief, depending on the circumstances.
Income tax relief will not be available to an Investor in New Venture Shares if, within six months of subscription, whether before or after the subscription, the Investor has disposed of any shares in TPV or in a VCT which is known to be merging with TPV.
(b) Dividend relief
An Investor who acquires VCT shares having a value of up to £200,000 will not be liable to income tax on dividends paid by the VCT on those shares.
VCT status will be withdrawn if, in respect of shares issued on or after 6 April 2014, a dividend is paid (or other forms of distribution or payments are made to Investors) from capital within three years of the end of the accounting period in which shares were issued to Investors.
(c) Purchasers in the market
An individual purchaser of existing VCT shares in the market will be entitled to claim dividend relief but not relief from income tax on investment.
(d) Withdrawal of relief
Relief from income tax on a subscription for VCT shares will be withdrawn if the VCT shares are disposed of (other than between spouses and civil partners) within five years of issue or if the VCT loses its approval within this period.
(e) Relief from capital gains tax on the disposal of shares.
A disposal by an Investor of New Venture Shares will give rise to neither a chargeable gain nor an allowable loss for the purposes of UK capital gains tax provided that the VCT maintains its approval. The relief is limited to the disposal of VCT shares acquired within the limit of £200,000 for any tax year.
(f) Purchasers in the market
An individual purchaser of Venture Shares in the market will be entitled to claim relief from capital gains tax on disposal.
TPV will provide to each Investor a certificate which the Investor may use to claim income tax relief, either by obtaining from HMRC an adjustment to their tax coding under the PAYE system or by waiting until the end of the tax year and using their tax return to claim relief.
Investors not resident in the UK should seek professional advice as to the consequences of making an investment in a VCT as they may be subject to tax in other jurisdictions as well as in the UK.
No taxation will be withheld at source on any income arising from the New Venture Shares and TPV assumes no responsibility for such withholding.
If a company which has been granted approval as a VCT subsequently fails to comply with the conditions for approval, approval as a VCT may be withdrawn or treated as never having been given. In these circumstances, relief from income tax on the initial investment is repayable unless loss of approval occurs more than five years after the issue of the relevant VCT shares. In addition, relief ceases to be available on any dividend paid in respect of profits or gains in any accounting period ending when VCT status has been lost. Any gains realised on VCT shares up to the date from which loss of VCT status is treated as taking effect will be exempt but gains thereafter will be taxable.
Should an Investor die having made an investment in New Venture Shares, the transfer of the New Venture Shares on his or her death is not treated as a disposal of shares for the purposes of the VCT legislation and so there will be no clawback of the income tax relief obtained on the subscription for those New Venture Shares. The value of the New Venture Shares will however be included in the estate of the deceased for inheritance tax purposes.
The beneficiary of the New Venture Shares inherited from a deceased Investor will continue to be entitled to receive tax-free dividends provided they do not acquire more than £200,000 of VCT shares in the tax year. However, they will not be eligible for initial income tax relief as this is only available in respect of subscriptions for new shares.
The transfer of New Venture Shares between spouses and civil partners is not treated as a disposal of shares for the purposes of the VCT legislation and, therefore, there will be no loss of VCT income tax relief.
VCTs have to satisfy a number of tests to continue to qualify as VCTs. How these conditions apply to TPV is summarised below. The following information is based on current UK law and practice, is subject to changes therein, is given by way of general summary and does not constitute legal or tax advice.
To qualify as a VCT, a company must be approved as such by HMRC. To obtain such approval it must:
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.
A VCT cannot be approved as such, unless the relevant tests are met throughout the most recent complete accounting period of the VCT and HMRC is satisfied that they will be met in relation to the accounting period of the VCT which is current when the application is made.
The actions proposed to be taken in the case of a breach by TPV of these investment restrictions will be announced through a Regulatory Information Service.
Funds raised by a further share issue are disregarded in judging whether condition (b) has been met for accounting periods ending no later than three years after the new issue.
Qualifying Investments comprise shares or securities (including unsecured loans with a five year or greater maturity period) issued by unquoted trading companies which meet a financial health requirement, and exist wholly for the purpose of carrying on one or more qualifying trades. These unquoted trading companies must not be controlled by the VCT or any other company, or a company and persons connected with such company, and its gross assets must not exceed £15,000,000 immediately prior to the investment or £16,000,000 immediately thereafter. Each unquoted trading company must not receive more than £5,000,000 (£10,000,000 if the company is deemed to be a Knowledge Intensive Company) from Risk Finance State Aid sources, including from VCTs and EIS investments, in any twelve-month period. Each company cannot receive more than £12,000,000 (£20,000,000 if the company is deemed to be a Knowledge Intensive Company) of Risk Finance State Aid investment (including from VCTs) over the company's lifetime. Each company's first commercial sale must be no more than 7 years (10 years for a Knowledge Intensive Company) prior to the date of the VCT's investment, except where previous Risk Finance State Aid was received by the company within 7 years (10 years for a Knowledge Intensive Company) or where the company is entering a new market and a turnover test is satisfied. Funds received from an investment by a VCT cannot be used to acquire another existing business or trade. It must have fewer than 250 full time (or full time equivalent) employees at the time of investment (or 500 employees in the case of a Knowledge Intensive Company).
Not less than 10% by value of the total investment in a Qualifying Company must be by way of eligible shares (see (c) above).
Companies whose securities are traded on AIM are treated as unquoted companies for the purposes of determining qualifying holdings. Shares in an unquoted company which subsequently becomes quoted may still be regarded as a qualifying holding for a further five years following quotation.
TPV is resident for tax purposes in the UK. TPV intends to continue to comply with and continue to satisfy the conditions for approval as a VCT laid down in Section 274 of ITA.
Under current legislation, TPV will be exempt from UK taxation on capital gains realised while it is approved as a VCT.
The income of TPV will be derived wholly or mainly from shares or other securities. Dividends received from other UK resident companies will constitute franked investment income and will not be subject to tax in the hands of TPV.
Approval of a VCT may be withdrawn by HMRC if the various tests set out above are not satisfied. Withdrawal of approval generally has effect from when notice is given to the VCT but, in relation to capital gains tax 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 of the tests were satisfied.

3.2.1 That, in addition to existing authorities, the Directors be and hereby are authorised in accordance with Section 551 of the Companies Act 2006 (the "Act") to exercise all of the powers of TPV to allot Venture Shares up to an aggregate nominal value of £450,000 in connection with offers for subscription, representing approximately 46.86% of the issued share capital of TPV as at 13 June 2025, provided that the authority conferred by this resolution shall expire at the conclusion of TPV's next annual general meeting or on the expiry of fifteen months following the passing of this resolution, whichever is the later (unless previously renewed, varied or revoked by TPV in general meeting).
3.2.2 That, the Directors be and hereby are empowered pursuant to Section 570(1) of CA 2006 to allot or make offers or agreements to allot equity securities (which expression shall have the meaning ascribed to it in Section 560(1) of CA 2006) for cash pursuant to the authority given in accordance with Section 551 of CA 2006 by the above resolution as if Section 561(1) of CA 2006 did not apply to such allotments, provided that the power provided by this resolution shall expire at the conclusion of TPV's next annual general meeting or on the expiry of fifteen months following the passing of this resolution, whichever is the later (unless previously renewed, varied or revoked by TPV in general meeting).

|---|---|---|---|
| Venture Shares | £0.01 | 98,587,918 | £985,879.18 |
3.4 The issued fully paid share capital of TPV immediately after the Offer has closed (assuming £30,000,000 is raised under the Offer, including the £10,000,000 over-allotment facility, NAVs per Venture Share of 93.67 pence and 84.30 pence for the purpose of the calculation of the price of the New Venture Shares, that the average issue costs per New Venture Share are 5.5% and that no Shares are bought back by TPV or issued outside of the Offer) will be as follows:

accounts on Admission. CREST is a paperless settlement procedure enabling securities to be evidenced otherwise than by a certificate and otherwise than by a written instrument. The Articles permit the holding of shares in CREST.
3.10 The ISIN and SEDOL Codes of the Venture Shares are GB00BDTYGZ09 and BDTYGZ0 respectively.
Subject to any disenfranchisement as provided in paragraph 4.2.4 below the Shares shall carry the right to receive notice of or to attend or vote at any general meeting of TPV and on a show of hands every holder of Shares present in person (or being a corporation, present by authorised representative) shall have one vote and, on a poll, every holder of Shares 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 TPV.
4.2.2 Transfer of Shares
The Shares are in registered form and will be freely transferable free of all liens. 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:
TPV may in general meeting by ordinary resolution declare dividends to be paid to members in accordance with the Articles, 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 TPV. There are no fixed dates on which entitlement to a dividend arises. All dividends unclaimed for a period of twelve years after being declared or becoming due for payment shall be forfeited and shall revert to TPV.
The Venture Shares shall entitle their holders to receive such dividends as the Directors may resolve to pay out of the net assets attributable to the Venture Shares and from income received and accrued which is attributable to the Venture Shares.
The Directors may, with the prior sanction of an ordinary resolution of TPV, offer Shareholders the right to elect to receive, in respect of all or part of their holding of Shares, additional Shares credited as fully paid instead of cash in respect of all or part of such dividend or dividends and (subject as hereinafter provided) upon such terms and conditions and in such manner as may be specified in such ordinary resolution. The ordinary resolution shall confer the said power on the Directors in respect of all or part of a particular dividend or in respect of all or any dividends (or any part of such dividends) declared or paid within a specified period but such period may not end later than the date of the annual general meeting next following the date of the general meeting at which such ordinary resolution is passed.
If any Shareholder or other person appearing to be interested in Shares is in default in supplying within 14 days after the date of service of a notice requiring such member or other person to supply to TPV 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 TPV 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 TPV then in issue, the withholding of payment of any dividends on, and the restriction of transfer of, the relevant Shares.
On a winding-up any surplus assets will be divided amongst the holders of each class of Shares in TPV according to the respective numbers of Shares held by them and in accordance with the provisions of the Act, subject to the rights of any shares which may be issued with special rights or privileges.
To the extent that there are Venture Shares, an amount equivalent to the aggregate Net Asset Value of the Venture Shares, calculated in accordance with TPV's usual accounting policies and adjusted for any amounts as the liquidator may consider appropriate so as to be a fair value for the Venture Shares, will be divided amongst the holders of the Venture Shares.
The Articles provide that the liquidator may, with the sanction of a special resolution and any other sanction required by the Act, divide amongst the members in specie the whole or any part of the assets of TPV in such manner as he may determine.
Whenever the capital of TPV 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.
The Shares have no conversion rights under the provisions of the Articles.
Unless and until otherwise determined by TPV in general meeting, pursuant to Article 122, the number of Directors shall not be fewer 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 fewer 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 TPV 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 as hereinafter provided, 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 of TPV shall be an officer of TPV, shall alone be responsible to TPV for his own acts and defaults, and shall not be deemed to be the agent of or for the Director appointing him.
Subject to the provisions of the Statutes (as defined in TPV's articles of association), the Directors may from time to time appoint one or more of their body to be managing director or joint managing directors of TPV or to hold such other executive office in relation to the management of the business of TPV as they may decide.
A Director may continue or become a Director or other officer, servant or member of any company promoted by TPV or in which they 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 chair of TPV (who need not be a Director of TPV) 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 TPV in any specified locality, whether at home or abroad, in such manner as they think fit.
At the annual general meeting of TPV next following the appointment of a Director he shall retire from office. A Director shall also retire from office at or before the third annual general meeting following the annual general meeting at which he last retired and was re-elected. A retiring Director shall be eligible for re-election. A Director shall be capable of being appointed or re-appointed despite having attained any particular age and shall not be required to retire by reason of his having attained any particular age, subject to the provisions of the Act.
Subject as provided below, the Directors may exercise all the powers of TPV to borrow money and to mortgage or charge its undertaking, property and uncalled capital. The Directors shall restrict the borrowings of TPV and exercise all voting and other rights or powers of control over its subsidiary undertakings (if any) so as to secure that the aggregate amount of money borrowed by the group, being TPV and any subsidiary undertakings for the time being (excluding intra-group borrowings), shall not without the previous sanction of an ordinary resolution of TPV exceed a sum equal to 30% of TPV's NAV at the time of any borrowing.
In respect of any period prior to 5 April 2012, at any time when TPV has given notice in the prescribed form (which has not been revoked) to the Registrar of Companies of its intention to carry on business as an investment company ("a Relevant Period") the distribution of TPV's capital profits shall be prohibited. The Board shall establish a reserve to be called the capital reserve. ("Capital Reserve"). During a Relevant Period, all surpluses arising from the realisation or revaluation of investments and all other monies realised on or derived from the realisation, payment or other dealing with any capital asset in excess of the book value thereof and all other monies which are considered by the Board to be in the nature of accretion to capital shall be credited to the Capital Reserve. Subject to the CA 2006, the Board may determine whether any amount received by TPV is to be dealt with as income or capital or partly one way and partly the other. During a Relevant Period, any loss realised on the realisation or payment or other dealing with investments, or other capital losses, and, subject to the CA 2006, any expenses, loss or liability (or provision therefor) which the Board considers to relate to a capital item or which the Board otherwise considers appropriate to be debited to the Capital Reserve shall be carried to the debit of the Capital Reserve. During a Relevant Period, all sums carried and standing to the credit of the Capital Reserve may be applied for any of the purposes for which sums standing to any revenue reserve are applicable except and provided that during a Relevant Period no part of the Capital Reserve or any other money in the nature of accretion to capital shall be transferred to the revenue reserves of TPV or be regarded or treated as profits of TPV available for distribution except for the purpose of redeeming or purchasing its own shares in accordance with Sections 687 and 692 of the CA 2006 or applied in paying dividends on any shares in TPV. In periods other than a Relevant Period, any amount standing to the credit of the Capital Reserve may be transferred to the revenue reserves of TPV or be regarded or treated as profits of TPV available for distribution or applied in paying dividends on any shares in TPV.
Article 182B of the Articles provides that on or before the later of (i) the tenth anniversary of the first admission of the Venture Shares to a premium listing on the Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities and (ii) the tenth anniversary of the last allotment of Venture Shares, the Directors shall propose an ordinary resolution and, if passed, draw up proposals for the reorganisation or reconstruction of TPV in respect of the Venture Shares, for submission to the members of TPV at a general meeting to be convened by the Directors as soon as reasonably practicable without prejudice to the VCT status of TPV. Implementation of the proposals will require the approval of members by special resolution. For the purpose of this, an ordinary resolution will only have been carried if those members present in person or by proxy who vote for such resolution hold in aggregate not less than twenty five per cent of the issued share capital of TPV at such time.
Annual general meetings shall be held at such time and place as may be determined by the Directors and not more than fifteen months shall elapse between the date of one annual general meeting and that of the next. The Directors may, whenever they think fit, convene a general meeting of TPV, and general meetings shall also be convened on such requisition or in default may be convened by requisition as are provided by the Statutes, as defined in TPV's articles of association. Any meeting so convened by requisition shall be convened in the same manner as nearly as possible as that in which meetings are to be convened by the Directors.
An annual general meeting and a general meeting called for the passing of a special resolution shall be called by not less than twenty-one days' notice in writing, and all other general meetings of TPV shall be called by not less-than fourteen days' notice in writing. The notice shall be exclusive of the day on which it is given and of the day of the meeting and shall specify the place, the day and hour of meeting, and, in case of special business, the general nature of such business. The notice shall be given to the members, other than those who, under the provisions of TPV's articles or the terms of issue of the shares they hold, are not entitled to receive notice from TPV, to the Directors and to the Auditors. A notice calling an annual general meeting shall specify the meeting as such and the notice convening a meeting to pass a special resolution or an ordinary resolution as the case may be shall specify the intention to propose the resolution as such.
In every notice calling a meeting of TPV or any class of the members of TPV there shall appear with reasonable prominence a statement that a member entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend and, on a poll, vote instead of him and that a proxy need not also be a member.
If within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting, if convened by or upon the requisition of members, shall be dissolved. In any other case it shall stand adjourned to such time (being not less than fourteen days and not more than twenty-eight days hence) and at such place as the Chair shall appoint. At any such adjourned meeting the member or members present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote shall have power to decide upon all matters which could properly have been disposed of at the meeting from which the adjournment took place. TPV shall give not less than seven clear days' notice of any meeting adjourned for the want of a quorum and the notice shall state that the member or members present as aforesaid shall form a quorum.
The chair may, with the consent of the meeting (and shall, if so directed by the meeting), adjourn any meeting from time to time and from place to place. No business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business left unfinished at the meeting from which the adjournment took place.
CREST is a paperless settlement procedure enabling securities to be evidenced otherwise than by a certificate and transferred otherwise than by a written instrument. The Articles are consistent with CREST membership and allow for the holding and transfer of Shares in un-certificated form pursuant to the Uncertified Securities Regulations 1995. The Venture Shares have been made eligible for settlement in CREST.

TPV does not have any subsidiaries.
Under an offer agreement dated 5 September 2025, between TPV, the Directors, Howard Kennedy, Triple Point and members of the Investment Manager (the "Offer Agreement"), Howard Kennedy has agreed to act as sponsor to the Offer and Triple Point has agreed, as agent of TPV, to use its reasonable endeavours to procure subscribers for the New Venture Shares on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the Prospectus. TPV will pay to Triple Point a single fee equal to the aggregate of (i) 5.5% of the aggregate value of accepted applications for New Venture Shares from Investors who have not invested their money through a financial intermediary/adviser and have invested directly into TPV (ii) 2.5% of the aggregate value of accepted applications for New Venture Shares from advised Investors who have invested their money through a financial adviser, other than professional Investors and (iii) 5.5% of the aggregate value of accepted applications for New Venture Shares from Investors who have invested their money through an Execution-Only Broker or who are professional Investors. Triple Point has agreed to indemnify TPV against the costs of the Offer excluding VAT exceeding 5.5% of the funds it raises, or such lower percentage as may be agreed by the Board and the Investment Manager. From this sum, Triple Point will discharge all external costs, including initial commissions and its own costs, in respect of the Offer but excluding any initial and ongoing charges agreed between an authorised financial adviser and the Investor.
Under the Offer Agreement, which may be terminated by Howard Kennedy in certain circumstances of breach, Triple Point, the members of the Investment Manager and the Directors have given certain warranties relating to the accuracy and completeness of the information contained in the Prospectus. Warranty claims must be made by no later than 30 days after the date of the publication of the audited accounts of TPV for the accounting year ending 28 February 2027. The liability of the Directors and the members of the Investment Manager in respect of a breach of a warranty or representation is limited to £12,500 each. TPV has also agreed to indemnify Howard Kennedy, in an amount up to the gross proceeds that can be raised under the Offer, in respect of its role as Sponsor and in respect of certain losses if they arise under the Offer Agreement. The warranties and indemnity are customary for this type of agreement. The Offer Agreement may be terminated if any material statement in the Prospectus is untrue, any material omission from the Prospectus arises or any material breach of warranty in the Offer Agreement occurs and provided that such termination takes place prior to Admission.
The City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Code") applies to all takeover and merger transactions in relation to TPV 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 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 TPV.
Section 979 of the CA 2006 provides that if, within certain time limits, an offer is made for the share capital of TPV, 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.
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.
The provisions of DTR 3 will apply to TPV and its shareholders. DTR 3 sets out the notification requirements for shareholders and TPV where the voting rights of a shareholder exceed, reach or fall below the threshold of 3% and each 1% thereafter up to 100%. DTR 5 provides that disclosure by a shareholder to TPV must be made within two trading days of the event giving rise to the notification requirement and TPV must release details to a Regulatory Information Service as soon as possible following receipt of a notification and by no later than the end of the trading day following such receipt.
TPV is a member of the Association of Investment Companies ("AIC") and complies with the AIC Code of Corporate Governance 2024 (the "AIC Code"), which provides a framework of best practice for listed investment companies and which complements the UK Corporate Governance Code (the "Code") published by the Financial Reporting Council in January 2024. TPV has complied with the recommendations of the AIC Code and the relevant provisions of the Code save that the chair of TPV is a member of TPV's audit committee, which, given the size and structure of the Board, the Board considers to be in the best interest of Shareholders so that TPV has the breadth of experience of all Directors throughout the audit process.
The audit committee of TPV comprises the Board and meets at least twice a year. TPV's auditors may be required to attend such meetings. The audit committee prepares a report each year addressed to the Shareholders for inclusion in TPV's annual report and accounts. The duties of the audit committee are, inter alia:
To date no nomination or remuneration committees have been established. Recommendations for the re-election of Directors are considered by the Board. Matters relating to remuneration of Directors are considered by the Board and any Director is excluded from discussions of their own remuneration.
The following are the only contracts (not being contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business) which have been entered into by TPV in the two years immediately preceding the date of this document or which are expected to be entered into prior to Admission and which are, or may be, material or which have been entered into at any time by TPV and which contain any provision under which TPV has any obligation or entitlement which is, or may be, material to TPV as at the date of this document:
Under the 2024 Offer Agreement, Triple Point, the members of the Investment Manager and the Directors gave certain warranties relating to the accuracy and completeness of the information contained in the 2024 Prospectus. Warranty claims must be made by no later than 30 days after the date of the publication of the audited accounts of TPV for the accounting year ending 28 February 2026. The liability of the Directors and the members of the Investment Manager in respect of a breach of a warranty or representation was limited to £12,500 each. TPV also agreed to indemnify Howard Kennedy, without limit in time or amount, in respect of its role as sponsor and in respect of certain losses if they arose under the 2024 Offer Agreement. The warranties and indemnity were customary for this type of agreement.
14.3 An offer agreement dated 22 September 2023 (the "2023 Offer Agreement"), between TPV, the Directors, Howard Kennedy, Triple Point and members of the Investment Manager, under which Howard Kennedy agreed to act as sponsor to the 2023 Offer and Triple Point agreed, as agent of TPV, to use its reasonable endeavours to procure subscribers for Venture Shares on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the prospectus relating to the 2023 Offer (the "2023 Prospectus").

Triple Point agreed to indemnify TPV against the costs of the 2023 Offer excluding VAT exceeding 5.5% of the funds it raised, or such lower percentage as may be agreed by the Board and the Investment Manager. From this sum, Triple Point discharged all external costs, including initial commissions and its own costs, in respect of the 2023 Offer but excluding any initial and ongoing charges agreed between an authorised financial adviser and the investor.
Under the 2023 Offer Agreement, Triple Point, the members of the Investment Manager and the Directors gave certain warranties relating to the accuracy and completeness of the information contained in the 2023 Prospectus. Warranty claims must be made by no later than 30 days after the date of the publication of the audited accounts of TPV for the accounting year ending 28 February 2025. The liability of the Directors and the members of the Investment Manager in respect of a breach of a warranty or representation was limited to £12,500 each.

The warranties and indemnity were customary for this type of agreement.
14.4 An offer agreement dated 21 September 2022 (the "2022 Offer Agreement"), between TPV, the Directors, Howard Kennedy, Triple Point and members of the Investment Manager, under which Howard Kennedy agreed to act as sponsor to the 2022 Offer and Triple Point agreed, as agent of TPV, to use its reasonable endeavours to procure subscribers for Venture Shares on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the prospectus relating to the 2022 Offer (the "2022 Prospectus"). TPV paid Triple Point, a single fee equal to the aggregate of (i) 5.5% of the aggregate value of accepted applications for Venture Shares from investors subscribing under the 2022 Offer who have not invested their money through a financial intermediary/adviser and have invested directly into TPV (ii) 2.5% of the aggregate value of accepted applications for Venture Shares from advised investors who have invested their money through a financial adviser, other than professional Investors and (iii) 5.5% of the aggregate value of accepted applications for Venture Shares from investors who have invested their money through an Execution-Only Broker or who are professional investors. Triple Point agreed to indemnify TPV against the costs of the 2022 Offer excluding VAT exceeding 5.5% of the funds it raised, or such lower percentage as may be agreed by the Board and the Investment Manager. From this sum, Triple Point discharged all external costs, including initial commissions and its own costs, in respect of the 2022 Offer but excluding any initial and ongoing charges agreed between an authorised financial adviser and the investor.
Under the 2022 Offer Agreement, Triple Point, the members of the Investment Manager and the Directors gave certain warranties relating to the accuracy and completeness of the information contained in the 2022 Prospectus. Warranty claims must be made by no later than 30 days after the date of the publication of the audited accounts of TPV for the accounting year ending 29 February 2024. The liability of the Directors and the members of the Investment Manager in respect of a breach of a warranty or representation was limited to £12,500 each. TPV also agreed to indemnify Howard Kennedy, without limit in time or amount, in respect of its role as sponsor and in respect of certain losses if they arose under the 2022 Offer Agreement. The warranties and indemnity were customary for this type of agreement.
The Depositary is a limited company registered in England and Wales with registration number 08255973, whose registered office is at The Scalpel, 18th Floor, 52 Lime Street, London EC3M 7AF. The Depositary is authorised and regulated by the FCA in the conduct of its regulated activity.
The Depositary is permitted to act as depositary of an alternative investment fund in accordance with FUND 3.11.10.
Under the Depositary Agreement TPV and Triple Point have given certain warranties, and TPV has given an indemnity, to the Depositary, and the Depositary has given certain warranties to TPV and Triple Point, which are in usual form for a contract of this type. The Depositary Agreement can be voluntarily terminated by the Depositary on 3 months prior written notice, or, where applicable, such later time as an appointment of a successor depositary takes effect and by TPV on 3 months prior written notice, subject to earlier termination in certain circumstances. The Depositary is entitled to receive a fee of £30,000 per annum in respect of the Services, as adjusted per year in accordance with a schedule to the Depositary Agreement, such adjustment in any given year not to exceed 8 per cent.
14.8 An administration agreement dated 12 September 2023 between TPV and Hanway Advisory Limited ("Hanway") pursuant to which Hanway provides (i) administration services to TPV for a fee payable quarterly in arrear of 0.25% (plus VAT) of TPV's NAV per annum and (ii) company secretarial services to TPV for a fee of £20,000 (plus VAT) per annum. This agreement will terminate on 12 months' notice by either party subject to earlier termination in certain circumstances.
Save for the offer agreement set out at paragraph 8 above, the fees paid to the Directors as detailed in paragraph 6.11 above, the fees payable to the Investment Manager for investment adviser services under the IMA, the fees payable to the Investment Manager under the 2024 Offer, there have been no other related party transactions or fees paid by TPV since 28 February 2025 to the date of this document.
conflict of interests that may arise insofar as the fees payable to the Investment Manager for providing investment management services pursuant to the IMA are determined by the NAV of the Company and insofar as the performance incentive fee payable to the Investment Manager pursuant to the IMA is determined by the Company's NAV plus cumulative dividends paid. The valuation of investments is conducted in line with International Private Equity and Venture Capital (IPEV) valuation guidelines and Triple Point's Venture Valuation Policy which is itself drafted in light of the IPEV guidelines. Hence, the value of investments will be determined on a fair value basis. In the case of quoted securities, fair value is established by reference to the closing bid price on the relevant date or the last traded price, depending on convention of the exchange on which the investment is quoted. In the case of unquoted investments, fair value is established by using measures of value such as the price of recent transaction prices and revenue multiples as well as considering the progress of portfolio companies with commercial milestones such as revenue growth, product development since their most recent transaction, and in light of available cash runway and the likelihood of raising further funding in future. The mitigants to the conflicts identified above include (i) the involvement of the Triple Point fund finance team in preparing the valuations for Board approval - none of the members of the fund finance team have their remuneration directly linked to the performance of the Company; (ii) the valuations/NAV are subject to sign off by the Company's independent board of Directors where again their remuneration is not directly linked to the performance of the Company and who are required to act independently and represent Shareholders' best interests at all times; (iii) the NAV is also reviewed by Triple Point's valuation committee, none of whose members are from the Triple Point ventures team or have remuneration tied directly to the performance of the Company's NAV; (iv) the Company's NAV is audited at least once a year by the Company's external auditor; and lastly (v) the Triple Point conflicts committee is responsible for ensuring conflicts are handled appropriately, and is independent of Triple Point and the Company.
There are no governmental, legal or arbitration proceedings (including any such proceedings which are pending or threatened of which TPV is aware) during the 12 month period ending on the date of this document which may have, or have had in the recent past, significant effects on TPV's financial position or profitability.
TPV is of the opinion that the working capital of TPV is sufficient for its present requirements, that is, for at least the period of twelve months from the date of this document. When calculating the working capital available to it, TPV has assessed whether it is able to access cash and other available liquid resources in order to meet its liabilities as they fall due. No account has been taken of the proceeds of the Offer in calculating the working capital available to TPV. When calculating its present requirements, TPV has taken into account the terms of its investment strategy and investment policy.
19.1 The capitalisation and indebtedness of TPV as at 30 July 2025 was as follows:
