LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF FORESIGHT SOLAR VCT PLC
Directors
David Hurst-Brown
Mike Liston OBE
Tim Dowlen
Registered Office
ECA Court,
South Park,
Sevenoaks,
Kent TN13 1DU
15 February 2013
Dear Shareholder
The Board of Foresight Solar VCT plc proposes to offer for subscription, to existing Shareholders and members of the public, a new class of Shares to be called C Shares. This means that, subject to Shareholders' approval, potential investors will be invited to subscribe for C Shares in the Company pursuant to the Prospectus which will shortly be published. A copy of the Securities Note, which forms part of the Prospectus, will be posted to you on or shortly after the date on which it is published.
For these purposes you are being asked to vote at a general meeting of the Company. The Meeting has been convened to be held on 25 March 2013 and the Resolutions required to implement these Proposals, and which accordingly will be put to Shareholders at this Meeting, are set out below. The detailed amendments to be made to the Articles are set out in Section 3 of this document.
If passed, the Resolutions to be proposed at this Meeting would:
- authorise the Directors to proceed with the Offer;
- disapply pre-emption rights so that C Shares can be allotted on a monthly basis without the need to make pre-emptive offers to early allottees;
- authorise future buybacks of C Shares;
- authorise the Company to enter into an investment management agreement and carried interest agreement with Foresight Group CI Limited and a sponsor and promoter agreement with BDO LLP (as sponsor) Foresight Group LLP (as promoter) in relation to the C Share Fund;
- amend the Articles in order to set out the rights attaching to the C Shares; and
- authorise the Company to reduce the share premium account arising on the issue of C Shares under the Offer subject to confirmation by an order of the court.
Explanation of Resolutions
Resolution 1: Grant of authority to allot C Shares
If passed, this resolution authorises the Directors to allot C Shares and to grant rights to subscribe for the new class of C Shares in accordance with section 551 of the Act up to a maximum nominal amount of £650,000 of C Shares. The authority granted by this resolution will expire on the fifth anniversary of the date of the passing of this resolution. The Directors intend to exercise this authority in order to allot C Shares pursuant to the Offer. This resolution is additional to and does not revoke the authority granted in relation to the Ordinary Shares of the Company at the Company's last annual general meeting. This resolution is conditional on the passing of Resolutions 2 and 6.
Resolution 2: Disapplication of pre-emption rights
If passed, this resolution will give the Directors power, pursuant to the authority granted by Resolution 1, to allot equity securities (as defined by section 560 of the Act) without first offering them to C Shareholders in proportion to their existing holdings, up to a maximum nominal amount of £650,000 of C Shares. The Directors intend to exercise this power in order to allot C Shares pursuant, inter alia, to the Offer.
The power granted by this resolution will expire on the fifth anniversary of the passing of this resolution save that the Company may, before such expiry, make offers or agreements which would or might require equity securities to be allotted after such expiry and the Directors may allot equity securities in pursuance of any such offer or agreement notwithstanding that the power conferred by this resolution has expired.
This resolution is additional to and does not revoke or replace existing and unexercised powers previously granted to the Directors to allot equity securities as if section 561(1) of the Act did not apply, but without prejudice to any allotment of equity securities already made or agreed to be made pursuant to such authorities. This resolution is conditional on the passing of Resolutions 1 and 6.
Resolution 3: Grant of authority for market purchase of C Shares
If passed, this resolution will give the Directors power, on behalf of the Company, to make market purchases of C Shares, subject to the key terms set out on page 7, such authorisation being necessary under section 701 of the Act. This resolution is conditional on the passing of Resolutions 1 and 6.
Resolution 4: Approval of arrangement with Company's manager
If passed, this resolution will authorise the proposed fee arrangement to be entered into between the Company and Foresight Group CI Limited in its proposed capacity as investment manager of the C Share Fund pursuant to the terms of an Investment Management Agreement and a Carried Interest Agreement. Foresight is already the investment manager of the Ordinary Share Fund, and the new arrangement with Foresight would constitute a Related Party Transaction under Chapter 11 of the Listing Rules. The proposed arrangement with Foresight Group CI Limited therefore requires Shareholders' approval.
Resolution 5: Approval of arrangement with Foresight Group LLP
If passed, this resolution will authorise the proposed fee arrangement to be entered into between the Company and Foresight Group LLP in its proposed capacity as promoter of the Offer pursuant to the terms of a Sponsorship and Promotion Agreement. Foresight Group LLP already acts as agent to the Company's existing investment manager and the new arrangement with Foresight Group LLP would therefore constitute a Related Party Transaction under Chapter 11 of the Listing Rules. The proposed arrangement with Foresight Group LLP therefore requires Shareholders' approval.
Resolution 6: Amendments to the Articles
If passed this resolution will adopt the amendments to the Articles, set out in Section 3 of this Circular, in order to allow for the rights and obligations attaching to the C Shares to be issued under the Offer, to be included in the Articles. Such an amendment requires Shareholders' approval in accordance with section 21 of the Act.
Resolution 7: Cancellation of the Company's share premium account
If passed this resolution will then allow, subject to court approval, the Company's share premium account to be cancelled. If the share premium account is cancelled then, unless the court orders otherwise, the reserve created by the cancellation will be treated as a realised profit. Shareholders' approval for a reduction of share capital of the Company, including its share premium, is necessitated by section 641 of the Act.
Resolution 1 concerning the authority of the Directors to issue the C Shares is conditional on the approval of Resolution 2, concerning the disapplication of pre-emption rights, and Resolution 6, concerning the adoption of new Articles of the Company. Resolutions 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 are conditional on the approval of Resolutions 1 and 6.
If the Resolutions are not approved, the Company will continue in its current form and the proposed Offer will not be launched.
Reasons for the Offer
The Directors believe the Proposals are likely to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of the Company's Shareholders as a whole.
The net funds raised since 2010 by the issue of Ordinary Shares were invested mainly in Qualifying Companies trading as solar energy generation companies, producing and selling electricity to the national grid under the UK Government's Feed-in Tariff Scheme (FIT).
The Ordinary Share Fund became fully invested before 5 April 2012, since when the law has been changed so that it is no longer possible for venture capital trusts to raise additional capital to invest in companies concerned with the FIT subsidised generation or export of electricity.
Accordingly, the additional funds to be raised by the issue of C Shares will be invested mainly in companies concerned with the generation or export of electricity. These investee companies will also generate revenue from the sale of Renewable Obligation Certificates (ROCs), under a long-term government
4
initiative designed to incentivise and support renewable energy producers in addition to income derived from selling the generated electricity.
Generation plants accredited under the ROC scheme receives 20 years of income from the sale of ROCs, which substantially increases the revenues of a renewable energy producer. Currently, for each KWh of energy that is generated, 2 ROCs are given to the producer of the energy which can be sold in the market place to generate additional income, typically to a single counterparty under a long term contract. ROCs benefit from an index linked market-pricing mechanism set by the Department of Energy and Climate Change that guarantees the ROC price. As ROCs need to be purchased by non-renewable energy generators who wish to continue to produce energy this provides a large degree of consistency and certainty in the market both in terms of base price of the ROC and the level of demand from future purchasers.
Foresight has been one of the pioneers in the European solar market, having built a £310 million portfolio of solar assets in the UK, Italy and Spain with a generating capacity of 86 megawatts.
An investment made in C Shares should provide investors with access to a strong flow of solar power investment opportunities and the enhanced revenue streams possible under the ROC scheme with the tax benefits of a VCT investment. Foresight sources its opportunities through its established network of contacts in the UK solar sector, and has received approaches from solar entrepreneurs to finance a pipeline of opportunities worth more than £300 million.
Funds raised under the Offer will also increase the Company's net assets overall and allow the Company's administrative costs to be spread across a wider asset base, so that the administrative costs of the Company per Share can be reduced.
Full details of the Offer will be set out in the Registration Document, Securities Note and Summary which together will comprise a Prospectus in accordance with the Prospectus Rules made under Section 84 of the Financial Services and Markets Act ("FSMA") and which will be published shortly.
A copy of the Securities Note will be posted to you on or shortly after the Prospectus has been published. All documents comprising the Prospectus will also be available from the offices of Foresight Group LLP, ECA Court, South Park, Sevenoaks, Kent TN13 1DU and the following website: http://www.foresightgroup.eu.
Financial effects of the Offer on the assets, liabilities and earnings of the Company
As at 31 December 2012 the Company had net assets of approximately £39.3 million. If no C Shares are subscribed for under the Offer then the Offer will have no material impact on the net assets of the Company.
If C Shares are subscribed for under the Offer then the net assets of the Company would be increased by the net amount subscribed, after costs, for the C Shares. The impact of the Offer on the Company's earnings should be accretive to net assets.
In relation to the Offer, and through the mechanism of a pricing formula, each Investor shall bear the cost of:
(a) a promoter's fee payable to Foresight amounting to:
a. 2.5% of the initial net asset value of C Shares allotted to investors who subscribe through authorised intermediaries; or
b. 5.5% of the initial net asset value of C Shares allotted to investors who subscribe directly,
(b) commission to authorised intermediaries of:
a. 3% of the net asset value of C Shares allotted to Professional Client Investors and Execution-Only Investors; or
b. such initial and/or on-going amount(s) as may be agreed between Retail Client Investors and their advisers and communicated to the Company on an application for C Shares, subject to the allotment of the C Shares, and
the Company shall pay:
(c) annual trail commission to authorised intermediaries of Execution-Only Investors and Professional Client Investors at the rate of 0.5% of the net asset value of the C Shares subscribed for as at the end of each financial year of the Company until a cumulative maximum of 3%.
5
The payment by the Company of the fees specified above (excepting annual trail commission as specified in (c)) in association with each allotment of C Shares under the Offer to the Promoter and authorised intermediaries will, according to the pricing formula to be specified in the Prospectus, be reflected in bespoke issue prices being attributed to individual investors and financed through each investor receiving a commensurately reduced number of Shares. This bespoke issue price for each investor will ensure that, apart from annual trail commission payments, the fees payable by the Company as specified above will be indirectly borne by individual investors and will be cost-neutral to the Company.
The pricing formula to be applied is: Price = NAV/X where X is calculated by subtracting from NAV the promoter's fee and either any adviser's charge(s) (for a Retail Client Investor) or initial commission (for a Professional Client or Execution-Only Investor) and dividing that figure by NAV.
Risk Factors
Subject to an individual's own circumstances, the potential tax reliefs available under the VCT Scheme to investments in VCTs are generous. Potential investors in C Shares should however note the following risks that exist in relation to VCT investments.
Participants should be aware that any C Shares subscribed for under the Offer must be held for five years in order to qualify for Venture Capital Trust ("VCT") Relief.
Funds raised by the issue of C Shares will need to be invested in accordance with the VCT Rules within three years. Failure to do so might result in the Company losing its qualifying status as a VCT resulting in adverse tax consequences for investors.
Whilst it is the intention of the Directors that the Company will be managed so as to continue to qualify as a VCT, there can be no guarantee that such status will be maintained.
The net asset value of the C Shares will reflect the performance of the underlying investments and the value of the underlying assets in the C Share Fund portfolio. The value of investments and income derived from them can rise and fall. The level of returns to holders of C Shares may be less than expected if there is a delay in the investment programme such that all or part of any net proceeds of the Offer are held in cash or near cash investments for longer than expected or if the interest rates obtained on loans, or overall returns on equity investments made from the monies raised pursuant to the Offer, is less than planned.
The Board believes that the net funds raised, if any, under the Offer can be successfully invested to generate a portfolio attractive to holders of C Shares as well as to spread the administrative costs of both the C Share Fund and the existing Ordinary Share Fund across a wider asset base, and these risks are therefore regarded as minimal.
General meeting
This Circular has been sent to all Shareholders as, in accordance with the Act, the constituent parts of the Offer require Shareholder approval at a general meeting. A Meeting has therefore been convened to be held on 25 March 2013 at the offices of Foresight Group LLP, ECA Court, South Park, Sevenoaks, Kent TN13 1DU. The Resolutions required to implement the Offer will accordingly be put to the Shareholders of the Company at the Meeting and are set out in detail in the notice of meeting which appears in Section 4 of this Circular.
The C Shares
The C Shares are a new class of Share and are separate from the Company's existing class of Ordinary Shares. All investments and cash attributable to the existing Ordinary Share Fund will be kept separate from the C Share Fund. Accordingly, investors in the C Shares will not have any exposure to the investment gains or losses of the Ordinary Share Fund. The holders of C Shares will have the exclusive right to Distributions from the assets within the C Share Fund but not from assets attributable to other Shares. Equally, the holders of other Shares will continue to have the exclusive right to Distributions from assets attributable to such Shares but not from assets attributable to C Shares. All Shareholders will share the benefit of spreading the Company's administration costs over a wider asset base. C Shareholders will be entitled to receive certificates in respect of their C Shares and will also be eligible for electronic settlement.
Holders of C Shares will be entitled to vote at meetings of the Company in the same way as existing Shareholders. No change may be made to the rights attaching to C Shares without the approval of the holders of C Shares.

Purchases of C Shares
It is proposed, subject to Shareholders' approval, that the Company be authorised to make market purchases of C Shares subject to the following key terms:
Maximum Nominal Amount
The aggregate nominal amount of the C Shares to be purchased shall not exceed the lesser of £29,980 and 14.99% of the issued C Shares following the close of the Offer.
Minimum Price
The minimum price (excluding expenses) which may be paid for each C Share is one penny.
Maximum Price
The maximum price (excluding expenses) which may be paid for each C Share is the higher of:
(a) 105% of the average of the middle market quotation for C Shares taken from the London Stock Exchange Daily Official List for the five Business Days immediately preceding the day on which the C Shares are purchased; and
(b) the value of a C Share calculated on the basis of the higher of the price quoted for: the last independent trade of, and the highest current independent bid for, any number of the C Shares on the trading venue where the purchase is carried out.
The authority conferred by the resolution will expire on the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company unless such authority is renewed prior to such time. The Directors will only exercise the authority to purchase C Shares where they consider that such purchases will be in the best interests of shareholders of C Shares generally. The Directors currently intend to cancel all C Shares purchased under this authority.
Appointment of Foresight Group CI Limited and Foresight Group LLP and Related Party Transactions
It is proposed, subject to Shareholders' approval, that Foresight Group CI Limited, through its agent Foresight Group LLP, be appointed by the Company as its investment manager in respect of the C Share Fund. Foresight Group CI Limited and Foresight Group LLP (together, "Foresight") already act for the Company in respect of the Ordinary Share Fund and therefore are considered to be related parties to the Company and as such the agreements to be entered into between the Company and Foresight will constitute Related Party Transactions under Chapter 11 of the Listing Rules and as such require Shareholder approval. The terms of the appointment, which will only take effect with Shareholders' approval, are set out in the following conditional material contracts:
-
An investment management agreement dated 15 February 2013 between (1) the Company (2) Foresight Group CI Limited (3) Foresight Group LLP and (4) Foresight Fund Managers Limited (the "Investment Management Agreement") pursuant to which Foresight Group CI Limited will be appointed to act as the investment manager in respect of the C Share Fund on a discretionary basis for an initial five year period and thereafter on 12 months notice by either side in return for an annual fee of 1.75% of the Net Asset Value of the C Share Fund, calculated and payable quarterly in advance, together with any applicable VAT thereon in respect of investment management services and an annual fee of 0.3% of the net funds raised by the Offer (subject to a minimum index-linked fee of £60,000) for secretarial and accounting services which are carried out by Foresight Group LLP. The Company will indemnify Foresight against all or any actions, proceedings, losses, claims, demands and liabilities whatsoever arising out of the proper performance of the investment manager's duties. There are no value or time limits attached to the indemnity other than the statutory time limit of twelve years which applies to agreements signed as deeds and Foresight retains the right to charge arrangement, exit and syndication fees to investee companies, and will be responsible for all costs of an investment that does not proceed.
-
Foresight may retain for its own benefit and without liability to account to the Company (subject to full disclosure having been made to the Board) any arrangement fees and directors' or monitoring fees which it receives in connection with any investments made by the Company. The Company will not be liable for legal, accounting and any other fees incurred on potential investments which do not proceed to completion.
-
A carried interest agreement dated 15 February 2013 between (i) the Company (ii) Foresight Group CI Limited and (iii) Foresight Group LLP (the "Carried Interest Agreement"), pursuant to which Foresight Group CI Limited will be entitled to a performance incentive (in cash or new C Shares
in the Company issued at par) to a value equal to 20% of Distributions in excess of 100p per C Share until total Distributions reach 120p per Share and thereafter equal to 30% of Distributions over that level. No performance incentive will be distributed to Foresight Group CI Limited until C Shareholders have received Distributions of 100p per C Share.
- The Company can only terminate the appointment of Foresight by giving not less than one year's notice in writing at any time after the fifth anniversary of the closing date of the Offer.
- A sponsorship and promotion agreement dated 15 February 2013 between (i) the Company (ii) the Directors (iii) Foresight Group LLP Limited (iv) Foresight Group CI and (v) BDO LLP (the "Sponsorship and Promotion Agreement"), pursuant to which Foresight will be entitled to a promoter's fee in relation to the Offer. The promoter's fee is calculated at 2.5% of the Net Asset Value of C Shares issued to investors who subscribe through authorised intermediaries; or 5.5% of the Net Asset Value of C Shares issued to investors who subscribe directly.
The Board believes that these terms provide appropriate remuneration and incentivise Foresight to deliver and exceed the Company's primary objective of distributing 120p per share by the sixth anniversary of the closing date of the Offer.
Foresight Group CI Limited, as the Company's investment manager, and Foresight Group LLP, as its agent and associate, are regarded as related parties of the Company under the Listing Rules. Therefore the terms of these appointments constitute Related Party Transactions for the purpose of the Listing Rules and require Shareholders' approval.
No change in investment policy
The issue of C Shares will not require a change in the investment policy of the Company which remains as stated in the Company's prospectus published on 31 August 2010.
Recommendations
The Board considers that the Proposals to effect the Offer and Resolutions to be considered at the Meeting are in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
The Board, which has been so advised by BDO, considers the Related Party Transactions, to be fair and reasonable so far as the Shareholders of the Company are concerned.
In providing advice, BDO has taken into account the Board's commercial assessment of the Related Party Transactions.
Accordingly the Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of all the Resolutions at the Meeting as they intend to do in respect of their own beneficial shareholdings of 73,500 Ordinary Shares which in aggregate represent 0.19% of the entire issued share capital of the Company.
Foresight is a related party of the Company under the Listing Rules and therefore cannot vote (and as it does not hold any Shares in the Company, will not be entitled to vote), on Resolutions 4 and 5 to be proposed at the Meeting. Foresight will take all reasonable steps to ensure that its associates (including any partners, members and employees) will also not vote on the Resolution 4 and 5.
Action to be taken
Enclosed with this document is a form of proxy for use at the Meeting. Shareholders are asked to complete and return the form of proxy to the Company's registrar, Computershare Investor Services PLC, The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol BS99 6ZY, so as to be received as soon as possible, and in any event to arrive no later than 9.30 a.m. on 21 March 2013. Completion and return of a form of proxy will not affect a Shareholder's right to attend and vote at the Meeting should he or she wish to do so.
I look forward to welcoming you at the Meeting and to your support for the Resolutions to be proposed at them.
Yours sincerely

Your main point of contact in terms of your investment in the Company remains the Relevant Member (or, perhaps, your custodian or broker) and you should continue to contact them (and not the Company) regarding any changes or queries relating to your personal details and your interest in the Company (including any administrative matters). The only exception to this is where the Company expressly requests a response from you.
