2.8 Qualifications to audit reports
There were no qualifications in the audit reports for any of the Companies.
2. Key information on the Issuers continued
What are the key risks that are specific to the issuers?
- 2.9 The Companies invest in a broad portfolio of higher growth early-stage businesses across a variety of sectors of the UK economy, including higher risk technology companies. Such companies are, typically, smaller unquoted companies. By nature, smaller unquoted businesses, such as those that qualify for Venture Capital Trust purposes, are more volatile in terms of their performance and valuations, than larger, longer established businesses. While active portfolio management seeks to mitigate the risk to an acceptable level, such risks cannot be totally eliminated, and poor performance by a significant number of investee companies could affect the performance of the Companies and the value of investors' Shares.
- 2.10 Three portfolio companies accounted for approximately 27.6 per cent. of the Companies' combined unaudited net asset value as at 30 June 2025. A material diminution in the value of one or more of these companies could result in a reduction in the value of investors' Shares. In addition, the valuations of technology companies can be volatile and, given their significant weighting in the Companies' portfolios, this could lead to volatility in the value of the Companies and of investors' Shares.
- 2.11 Investors should be aware of the changes introduced in the Finance Act 2018, focusing investment in innovative newer growth companies. This is leading to a reduction in asset-based businesses and may lead to increased volatility in the value of the Companies and of investors' Shares. The reduction in assetbased businesses is also leading to an increasing reliance on capital profits to pay dividends.
- 2.12 Investment in unquoted companies, by its nature, involves a higher degree of risk than investment in companies traded on the main market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange. In particular, smaller companies often have limited product lines, markets or financial resources and may be dependent for their management on a smaller number of key individuals. In addition, the market for stock in smaller companies is often less liquid than that for stock in larger companies, bringing with it potential difficulties in acquiring, valuing and disposing of such stock which may have adverse consequences for the Companies' portfolios of investments. Full information for determining their value or the risks to which they are exposed may also not be available.
- 2.13 Technology related risks are likely to be greater in early, rather than later, stage technology investments, including the risks of the technology not becoming generally accepted by the market or the obsolescence of the technology concerned, often due to greater financial resources being available to competing companies. In addition, in the current economic climate the valuations of technology companies are more volatile and, with the Companies' portfolios being weighted towards technology companies, a large drop in the value of such portfolio companies may adversely impact the value of the Companies and of investors' Shares.
- 2.14 The Companies have no employees and all of the Directors have been appointed on a non-executive basis. The successful implementation of each Company's investment policy is dependent on the expertise of the Manager and its ability to attract and retain suitable staff. Each Company's ability to achieve its investment objectives is largely dependent on the performance of the Manager in the acquisition and disposal of assets and the management of such assets. Poor performance by the Manager could directly impact the net asset value of the Companies and the value of investors' Shares. Each Board has broad discretion to monitor the performance of the Manager and the power to appoint a replacement, but the Manager's performance or that of any replacement cannot be guaranteed.
- 2.15 The Companies, their existing and future portfolio companies, and their service providers are susceptible to operational and information security and related risks of cyber security incidents. Cyber security incidents affecting any of the Companies, their portfolio companies, Directors, the Manager, and/ or other service providers such as financial intermediaries have the ability to cause disruption and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, including by interference with a Company's ability to calculate its net asset value, impediments to trading by portfolio companies, the inability of Shareholders to transact business with an affected Company, violations of applicable privacy, data security or other laws, regulatory fines and penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation or remediation costs, legal fees; or additional compliance costs. Similar adverse consequences could result in cyber security incidents affecting counterparties with which the Companies or any of their portfolio companies engages in transactions, governmental and other regulatory authorities, exchange and other financial market operators, banks, brokers, dealers, insurance companies, and other financial institutions and other parties. Any such breaches of cybersecurity could have a material adverse effect on an affected Company's operations and performance and on returns to Shareholders.
- 2.16 Economic and global political uncertainty and market conditions may adversely affect the performance of companies in which a Company has invested or may invest (including short-term reductions in valuation), which in turn may adversely affect the performance of that Company. Current factors of significance include global political instability, continuing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, US tariffs, low levels of economic growth, supply chain loss and disruption, higher interest rates following a sustained period of low interest rates, currency volatility, and continuing higher levels of inflation and energy costs. These factors may also negatively impact the number or quality of investment opportunities available to a Company. It is also possible that currently unknown and unanticipated events, either domestic or international, including future healthcare pandemics, may occur and have a negative effect on economic activity and adversely affect the performance of companies in which a Company has invested or may invest, which in turn may adversely affect the performance of that Company, its net asset value and the value of investors' Shares.
- 2.17 Interest rates remain at relatively high levels compared to the recent past and the reduction in those levels has been slower than anticipated, which may have an adverse effect on the investee companies of the Companies and, potentially, their value and have a negative impact on the net asset value of the Companies and the value of investors' Shares.
- 2.18 Inflationary pressures may lead, inter alia, to wage inflation, particularly for highly skilled staff such as software developers, and this could lead to difficulties in portfolio companies attracting and retaining staff, which in turn might affect their and the Companies' performance and the performance of investors' Shares.
- 2.19 Any change of governmental, economic, fiscal, monetary, regulatory or political policy or climate change legislation could materially affect, directly or indirectly, the operation of the Companies and/or the performance of the Companies and the value of and returns from Shares and/or their ability to achieve or maintain VCT status.

- 3.2.1.1 holders of the Offer Shares shall be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions made, paid or declared by the relevant Company pari passu and equally with each other and with the existing ordinary shares of that Company save in respect of any dividends for which the record date has already passed;
- 3.2.1.2 each Offer Share carries the right to receive notice of and to attend or vote at any general meeting of the relevant Company;
- 3.2.1.3 on a winding-up, the holders of the Offer Shares are entitled to receive back their nominal value and will participate in the distribution of any surplus assets of the relevant Company pro rata with all other ordinary shares in the capital of that Company;
- 3.2.1.4 there are no restrictions on the transferability of the Offer Shares.
- 3.2.2 The Albion Crown VCT C Shares have the following rights:
- 3.2.2.1 holders of Albion Crown VCT C Shares shall be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions made, paid or declared by Albion Crown VCT as the Albion Crown VCT Directors resolve to pay out in accordance with the articles of association of Albion Crown VCT (the Articles);
- 3.2.2.2 under the Articles, all the assets and liabilities of Albion Crown VCT will be allocated either to the Albion Crown VCT Share pool or the Albion Crown VCT C Share pool of that company. The Albion Crown VCT C Shares will be entitled to the economic benefit of the assets allocated to the Albion Crown VCT C Share pool (and the Albion Crown VCT Shares in Albion Crown VCT will be entitled to the economic benefit of assets allocated to the Albion Crown VCT Share pool);
- 3.2.2.3 although the rules in the CA 2006 and elsewhere in relation to the payment of distributions will be applicable to Albion Crown VCT on a company-wide basis, the income arising on the portfolios will belong to one or the other of the share classes depending on which portfolio generated the income;
- 3.2.2.4 similarly, the capital assets of Albion Crown VCT will be allocated to either the Albion Crown VCT Share pool or the Albion Crown VCT C Share pool. On a return of capital on a winding-up or on a return of capital (other than on a purchase by Albion Crown VCT of its shares) the surplus capital shall be divided amongst the holders of the relevant share class of Albion Crown VCT pro rata according to the number of shares of the relevant class held and the aggregate entitlements of that share class. The Albion Crown VCT Shares will not be entitled to any capital assets held in the Albion Crown VCT C Share pool and the Albion Crown VCT C Shares will not be entitled to any capital assets held in the Albion Crown VCT Share pool. In relation to the purchase by Albion Crown VCT of its Shares, the purchase of Albion Crown VCT Shares may only be financed by assets in the Albion Crown VCT Share pool and the purchase of the Albion Crown VCT C Shares may only be financed by assets in the Albion Crown VCT C Share pool;
- 3.2.2.5 subject to disenfranchisement in the event of non-compliance with a statutory notice requiring disclosure as to beneficial ownership, each holder of Albion Crown VCT C Shares present in person or by proxy shall on a poll have one vote for each Albion Crown VCT C Share of which they are the holder.

- 3.2.2.6 there are no restrictions on the transferability of the Albion Crown VCT C Shares.
3.3 Dividend Policy
The current dividend target of each of the Companies is to pay 2.5 per cent. of the most recently announced net asset value per share when the dividend is announced twice a year, thereby targeting an annual dividend of around 5 per cent. No target can be guaranteed.
3.4 Where will the securities be traded?
Applications have been made to the FCA for the securities to be listed on the Official List and will be made to the London Stock Exchange for such shares to be admitted to trading on its main market for listed securities. It is anticipated that dealings in the Offer Shares will commence within three business days following allotment.
- 3.5 What are the key risks that are specific to the securities?
- 3.5.1 The disposal of Offer Shares within five years of their issue will result in some or all of the 30 per cent. income tax relief available upon investment becoming repayable. On this basis, investing in Offer Shares should be considered a long-term investment. The availability of income tax relief on a subscription for shares in a VCT issued after 5 April 2014 is restricted where it is 'linked' to a sale of shares in the same VCT or in another VCT which is known to be merging with the VCT. For these purposes, linked means (i) the sale of the shares in the VCT was conditional on the subscription for shares in the same VCT (or vice versa) or (ii) the subscription for shares in the VCT and the sale of shares in the same VCT were within six months of each other (irrespective of which comes first). If the subscription is 'linked', the amount on which VCT income tax relief can be claimed will be reduced by the amount of the consideration of any linked sales.
- 3.5.2 The secondary market for VCT shares is generally illiquid, so shares tend to be valued at a discount to their net asset value and may be difficult to realise. As a result, Shareholders may be offered a price which is less than the full value of a Company's underlying assets. The spread between the buying and selling price of such shares may be wide and thus the price used for valuation may not be achievable.
- 3.5.3 Each Company intends to manage its affairs in respect of each accounting period so as to obtain and thereafter maintain approval as a VCT. However, there can be no guarantee that a Company will be able to maintain VCT status. Where a Company fails to maintain approval as a VCT before Qualifying Investors have held their Offer Shares in that Company for five years, the income tax relief obtained on the amount subscribed in that Company will have to be repaid by such investors. Dividends paid in an accounting period where VCT status is lost will become taxable and a Qualifying Investor will generally be liable to income tax on the dividend received.
- 3.5.4 The NAV per Share of a Company represents the per-share value of that Company's underlying assets, which are unlisted investments. The Company's assets are valued by the Manager quarterly following the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines (IPEV Guidelines) and are subsequently approved by the Company's Board. Investors should be aware that the NAV per Share and ultimately the price of the Offer Shares reflect both realised and unrealised values.

- 4.1.4 In relation to each allotment, the Offer Price at which the relevant Offer Shares will be allotted will be calculated by using the pricing formula set out below and will be announced to the London Stock Exchange through a Regulatory Information Service on the date of allotment. The number of Offer Shares to be allotted under each Offer will be determined by dividing the Subscription amount for that Offer by a subscription price calculated on the basis of the following formula ("the Pricing Formula") applied to the relevant Company ("Offer Price"):
Latest published NAV of an existing Share at the time of allotment (adjusted, as necessary, for dividends subsequently paid or in respect of which the record date has passed) divided by 0.97 (to allow for issue costs of 3 per cent.) and rounded up to the nearest 0.01p per Share.
