businesses. TP11's Investment Policy is directed towards new investments in businesses which
either: (i) have the potential for high growth, or (ii) are cash flow generative businesses
with a high quality customer base. 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
TP11 Venture Fund
diversified range of sectors. TP11's Venture Fund focuses on providing funding to unquoted companies at an early
stage in their lifecycle to help them grow and scale. TP11's Venture Fund typically
makes initial investments of between £50,000 and £2 million and may make further
follow on investments into existing portfolio companies. TP11 intends to build a portfolio
of predominantly unquoted companies with significant growth potential across a
TP11 A Share Fund and B Share Fund
The key objectives of TP11's A Share Fund and B Share Fund are to:

Pay regular tax-free dividends to investors;

Maintain VCT status to enable investors to benefit from the associated tax
reliefs;

Reduce the volatility normally associated with early stage investments by
applying its Investment Policy;

Make investments typically in the range of £500,000 to £5 million in companies
with contractual revenues from financially sound counterparties; and

In respect of the B Share Fund only, provide investors with the option to exit
shortly after 5 years following investment.
TP11 will not vary any of the above objectives for the Venture Fund, A Share Fund or B
Share Fund to any material extent without the approval of the Shareholders.
Target Asset Allocation
TP11 aims to invest its capital fully into VCT Qualifying Investments. Where this is not
practicable, the long term investment profile of TP11 is expected to be:

At least 80% in VCT Qualifying Investments, with a focus on unquoted
companies with high growth potential for the Venture Fund; and

A maximum of 20% in permitted Non-Qualifying Investments, cash or cash
based similar liquid investments.
Qualifying Investments
Investment decisions made must adhere to HMRC's VCT qualification rules. In
considering a prospective investment in a company, particular regard is made to:

the track record, expertise and ability of the management team with clear
commercial and financial objectives;

a significant, often global, total addressable market;

the ability of the company to create and sustain a competitive advantage;

the quality of the company's assets, in particular where appropriate the
ownership and effective use of proprietary technology and or an innovative
product;

the high likelihood of a transformational corporate contract and established
market fit and then the opportunity to develop regular, repeated income from
new clients, leading to growth and long term profitability;

a high level of access to regular material financial and other information during
the holding period;

an attractive valuation at the time of the investment;

the long-term prospect of being sold or listed in the future at a significant
multiple of the initial investment value; and

in respect of the B Share Fund, the prospect of achieving an exit after 5 years
of the life of the B Share Fund.
In respect of the Venture Fund, no more than 10% of the NAV of the Venture Fund (at
the point of the investment), will be invested in companies which are not revenue
generating 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 TP11 to
realise capital gains to enable TP11 to make tax-free distributions to shareholders.
Non-Qualifying Investments
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).
Borrowing Powers
Any borrowing by TP11 for the purposes of making investments will be in accordance
with TP11's articles of association. To the extent that borrowing is required, the
Directors will restrict the borrowings of TP11 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 TP11 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.
Risk Diversification
TP11 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 TP11 will represent more than 15 per cent of the aggregate NAV of TP11
at the time the investment is made.
B.35 Borrowing
limits
The Directors will restrict the borrowings of TP11 in accordance with TP11's articles of
association which provide that the aggregate amount of money that can be borrowed by
the group, being TP11 and any subsidiary undertakings for the time being, (excluding
intra-group borrowings), shall not, without the previous sanction of an ordinary
resolution of TP11, exceed 30% of its NAV at the time of any borrowing.
B.36 Regulatory
status
TP11 is authorised and regulated by the FCA as a self-managed alternative investment
fund.
B.37 Typical
investor
The profile of a typical Investor will be a UK taxpayer over the age of 18 years old with
an investment range of £3,000 to £200,000. The typical Investor will find the Investment
Policy attractive, understand that his investment in TP11 may be tied up for at least 5 to
7 years, and be attracted to the income tax relief available for a VCT investment. The
typical Investor may be a retail, sophisticated, high net worth or professional Investor
who has made or will make non-VCT investments.
B.38 Investment

more in a

B.40 Applicant's
service
Investment management arrangement
providers Under an agreement dated 23 September 2010, as subsequently varied (the "IMA"),
Triple Point was appointed as TP11's investment manager and administrator for a
period of five years from the admission of the Venture Shares to the Official List, which
can be terminated thereafter by not less than twelve months' notice, subject to earlier
termination in certain circumstances.
The IMA in its current form provides for the following:
In respect of TP11 as a whole:

a fee for administration services equal to £37,500 (plus VAT) per annum payable
quarterly in arrear;

a fee for company secretarial services equal to £7,500 (plus VAT) per annum; and
In respect of the A Share Fund:

investment management fees (exclusive of VAT) equal to 2.0% per annum of the A
Share Fund's NAV, payable quarterly in arrear; and

a performance incentive fee based upon returns to holders of A Shares. The
amount of the performance incentive fee payable is based on distributions made to
holders of A Shares. To the extent that, on any distribution made to holders of A
Shares, the total of all distributions per A Share made to holders of A Shares
(including the distribution in question being made) exceeds a hurdle, being at the
time of any distribution to holders of A Shares the higher of (i) 100 pence per A
Share and (ii) the total of all distributions per A Share made to holders of A Shares
prior to that distribution, Triple Point will be entitled to receive a sum equal to 20%
of the excess.
In respect of the B Share Fund:

investment management fees (exclusive of VAT) equal to 1.9% per annum of the B
Share Fund's NAV, payable quarterly in arrear.
Triple Point agreed to indemnify TP11 in respect of any annual costs (but excluding any
exceptional or extraordinary costs) in excess of 3.5% of TP11's NAV (excluding VAT).
Triple Point's appointment under the IMA will continue for at least five years following
the admission of the B Shares to listing on the Official List and to trading on the London
Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities and, thereafter, will terminate on 12
months' notice by either party subject to earlier termination in certain circumstances.
Annual Directors' fees payable to the Board will not exceed £100,000 (excluding any VAT or
national insurance contributions).
Triple Point may retain arrangement fees in connection with investments made into
unquoted companies. The Triple Point Group may also benefit from the receipt of
business administration fees charged against such companies, the level of which, in the
case of a particular company, may be related to that company's performance.
Any investment or other asset of any description of the Company will be held in the
Company's name although in exceptional circumstances Triple Point may hold such
investments or assets in the name of Triple Point or other FCA authorised person acting
as custodian where, due to the nature of the law or market practice of an overseas
jurisdiction, it is in the best interests of the Company to do so or it is not feasible to do
otherwise.
Supplemental agreement varying the IMA pursuant to the Offer
Under an agreement dated 14 September 2018, subject to the Offer becoming effective
and subject to the approval of Shareholders at the General Meeting, the IMA will be
amended to provide for the following:
In respect of the Venture Fund:

Triple Point will receive investment management fees (plus VAT) equal to 2.0% per
annum of the Venture Fund's NAV, payable quarterly in arrear;

Triple Point is entitled to a performance incentive fee. The performance incentive
fee will not be payable to Triple Point until the total return (net asset value plus
distributions made) to holders of Venture Shares exceeds the initial net subscription
amount by an annual threshold of 3% calculated on a compound basis. To the
extent that the total return exceeds the threshold over the relevant period then a
performance incentive fee of 20% of the excess will be paid to Triple Point.
Performance fees will be assessed based on audited year-end valuations and will
be accrued in the accounts of TP11. High water marks will apply; and

TP11 will pay to 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 who
have not invested their money through a financial intermediary/adviser and have
invested directly into TP11 (ii) 2.5% of the aggregate value of accepted applications
for Venture Shares from 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 and up to 3% of that 5.5% may be paid as initial commission to
Execution-Only Brokers and to those advising professional Investors in respect of
subscriptions under the Offer. Triple Point has agreed to indemnify TP11 against
the costs of the Offer (excluding VAT) exceeding 5.5% of the funds it raises. The
costs of the Offer will be borne solely by the Venture Fund. From this sum, Triple
Point will discharge all external costs, and its own costs, in respect of the Offer. The
payment of initial charges agreed between an authorised financial adviser and the
Investor can be facilitated by Triple Point, which will reduce the amount subscribed
under the Offer.
In respect of TP11 as a whole:

The fee payable to Triple Point for administration services equal to £37,500 (plus
VAT) per annum payable quarterly in arrear will be removed and will be replaced
with a fee for administration services payable quarterly in arrear of 0.25% (plus
VAT) of TP11's NAV per annum.

Triple Point's appointment under the IMA will continue for at least 5 years following
Admission and thereafter will terminate on 12 months' notice by either party subject
to earlier termination in certain circumstances;
TP11's annual running costs will continue to be capped at 3.5% of TP11's NAV
(excluding VAT, any arrangement fees (including any fees paid to the Triple Point
Venture Network) and also any performance fees payable to Triple Point). Any excess
will be met by Triple Point by way of a reduction in future investment management fees.
The investment management and performance incentive fees for the A Share Fund and
the B Share Fund, as set out above, are unchanged.
B.41 Regulatory
status of the
Manager/
custodian
Triple Point Investment Management LLP is authorised and regulated by the Financial
Conduct Authority.
B.42 Calculation
of Net Asset
Value
The NAV of a Share is calculated by TP11 in accordance with TP11's accounting
policies and is published quarterly through a Regulatory Information Service.
The calculation of the NAV per Share will only be suspended in circumstances where
the underlying data necessary to value the investments of TP11 cannot readily, or
without undue expenditure, be obtained. Details of any suspension in making such
calculations will be announced through a Regulatory Information Service.
B.43 Cross
liability
Not applicable. TP11 is not an umbrella collective investment undertaking and as such
there is no cross liability between classes or investment in another collective investment
undertaking.
B.44 No financial
statements
have been
made up
Not applicable. TP11 has commenced operations and historical financial information is
included within the document.
B.45 Portfolio TP11's portfolio comprises UK-based holding and operating companies. As at 28

been drawn up), TP11's portfolio of Qualifying Investments comprised, by value,

C.3 Number of
securities to
be issued
Assuming a full subscription of £30,000,000, including the £15,000,000 over
allotment facility, a NAV per Venture Share of 100 pence for the purpose of the
Venture Share Price Calculation, and that the average issue costs per Venture Share
are 5.5%, the number of Venture Shares in issue following the Offer would be
28,350,000 Venture Shares. On the above assumptions, but assuming a NAV per
Venture Share of 90 pence for the purpose of the Venture Share Price Calculation,
the maximum number of Venture Shares in issue following the Offer would be
31,500,000 Venture Shares.
C.4 Description of
the rights
attaching to
the securities
As regards income:
The holders of the Venture Shares as a class shall be entitled to receive such
dividends as the Directors 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 TP11's articles of association.
As regards capital:
On a return of capital on a winding up or on a return of capital (other than on a
purchase by TP11 of its shares) 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 TP11'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.

securities
Not applicable. There are no restrictions on the free transferability of the Venture

C.6 Admission Application will be made to the UK Listing Authority for the Venture Shares to be
admitted to the premium segment of the Official List and to the London Stock
Exchange for the Venture Shares to be admitted to trading on the London Stock
Exchange's main market for listed securities. It is expected that such admission will
become effective and that dealings in the Venture Shares will commence within ten
Business Days of their allotment.
C.7 Dividend
policy
TP11 will distribute by way of dividend 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 TP11 will distribute most of its net income each year by way of
dividend, subject to liquidity.
For the Venture Fund, TP11 intends to distribute 3 pence per Venture Share in the
financial year ending 28 February 2021, 3 pence per Venture Share in the financial
year ending 28 February 2022, followed by target regular dividends of up to 5 pence
per Venture Share per annum. TP11's ability to pay dividends is subject to the
existence of realised profits, legislative requirements, and the available cash
reserves of TP11.
Investors who wish to have dividends paid directly into a bank account, rather than
by cheque to their registered address, should complete the dividend mandate form
which it is expected will be sent to an Investor within 30 days of an allotment. Further
dividend mandate forms can be obtained upon request from the registered office of
TP11.

Section D: Risks

Element Disclosure
requirement
Disclosure
D.2 Key information
on the key risks
specific to the
issuer or its
industry
The key risk factors relating to TP11 and the industries in which it invests are:

Investments in small, private limited companies can involve a higher
degree of risk than investments in larger, investment grade companies,
and there can be a risk of substantial or total losses.

TP11's portfolio of investments is subject to market fluctuations including
but not limited to changes in inflation and interest rates. There can be no
assurance that appreciation will occur or that losses will not be incurred.
The ability of TP11 to return funds to Shareholders may be adversely
affected by illiquidity in underlying assets. It may be difficult to deal in
investments for which there is no recognisable market or to obtain
reliable information about their value or the extent of the risks to which
Element Disclosure
requirement
Disclosure
such investments are exposed.

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 Qualifying Company can receive over its
lifetime. Companies receiving VCT funds are not permitted to use those
funds to acquire shares, businesses or certain intangible assets. These
changes may mean that there are fewer opportunities for investment and
that TP11 may not be able to provide further investment funds for
companies already in its portfolio.

The Finance Act 2018 introduced a new "risk-to-capital" condition for
Qualifying Investments, designed to focus investments towards earlier
stage, growing businesses, and away from investments which could be
regarded as lower risk. TP11 may not make any prohibited Non
Qualifying Investments, including those which breach the "risk-to-capital"
condition. These changes may mean that there are fewer opportunities
for investment and that TP11 may not be able to provide further
investment funds for companies already in its portfolio if they do not meet
this condition.
D.3 Key information
on the key risks
specific to the
securities
The key risk factors relating to the Venture Shares are:

The value of Venture Shares may go up as well as down, and may fall
below the original amount invested. This could result in an Investor losing
some or all of their investment.

The market price of the Venture Shares may not fully reflect their
underlying Net Asset Value, and dividends may not be paid over time as
expected.

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.

Section E: Offer

Disclosure
E.1 Net proceeds
and costs of the
Issue
The costs and expenses relating to the Offer (assuming a full subscription of
£30,000,000, including the £15,000,000 over allotment facility, and that the issue
costs per Venture Share are 5.5%, payable by TP11) are £1,650,000 (excluding
VAT). The Investment Manager has agreed to indemnify the Company in respect
of the amount by which the costs of the Offer exceed 5.5% excluding VAT of the
aggregate value of accepted applications for Venture Shares under the Offer. The
costs and expenses relating to the Offer if the Minimum Net Proceeds are raised,
assuming that the issue costs per Venture Share are 5.5%, payable by TP11, are
£174,603.17 (excluding VAT if applicable).
Investors will indirectly bear the costs of the Offer in which they participate
through the application of the Venture Share Price Calculation which determines
the price per Venture Share and includes an allowance for issue costs of 5.5% or
such lower percentage as may be agreed by the Board and the Investment
Manager to reflect a reduction in the issue costs.
The total net proceeds of the Offer, after all fees, are £28,350,000 (assuming a
full subscription of £30,000,000, including the £15,000,000 over allotment facility,
and that the issue costs per Venture Share are 5.5%). The Minimum Net
Proceeds will be £3,000,000.
E.2a Reason for the
Offer, use of
proceeds and
estimated net
amount of
proceeds
TP11 and the Investment Manager's results to date highlight Triple Point's ability
to provide shareholders with consistent, strong returns on their investments. The
Offer provides Investors with an opportunity to invest in the Venture Fund, which
targets early stage companies capable of generating significant long term capital
growth while enabling Investors to take advantage of the substantial tax reliefs
available to Investors in VCTs, including 30% income tax relief on amounts
invested.
The intention of the Offer is to raise capital in the Venture Fund to ultimately
acquire (and subsequently maintain) a portfolio of Qualifying Investments where
the focus will be on early stage companies. TP11 will have the ability to invest the
Venture Fund in a variety of sectors where the Investment Management Team is
confident that investments can be structured to meet TP11's investment strategy.
The total net proceeds of the Offer, after all fees, are £28,350,000 (assuming a
full subscription of £30,000,000 including the £15,000,000 over allotment facility,
and that the issue costs per Venture Share are 5.5%).
E.3 Terms and
conditions of the
Offer
The price per Venture Share 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 Venture Shares reflects the amount of initial
commission,
if
any,
payable
to
the
Investor's
authorised
financial
adviser/authorised introducer and to Triple Point (initial adviser charges, if any,
can be facilitated by Triple Point, which will reduce the amount subscribed under
the Offer):
Price per Venture Share = (A) / {100 – ((B) x 100)} (in units of £ per Venture
Share)
Where: (A) is the latest published NAV per Venture Share, which until such time
as there is a published NAV per Venture Share shall be deemed to be
100 pence per Venture Share
(B) is the percentage initial charge payable by TP11 to Triple Point,
including the percentage initial commission (if any) (maximum 3%)
payable by TP11 to an authorised introducer
The price per Venture Share (calculated in accordance with the formula above)
will be rounded to the nearest 0.001 pence.
The number of Venture Shares to be allotted is then determined, as follows:
Number of Venture Shares to be allotted = amount subscribed under the Offer/
price per Venture Share
The number of Venture Shares to be allotted will be rounded down to the nearest
whole Venture Share.
If the Offer is oversubscribed, the Offer may be increased at the discretion of the
Directors by up to a further £15,000,000 by issue of Venture Shares. The Offer is
conditional upon the Minimum Net Proceeds being raised prior to 12 noon on 5
April 2019 and upon the passing of Resolutions 1 to 5 at the General Meeting, the
approval of the Resolution to be proposed at the Class Meetings and HMRC
confirming that the Venture Shares to be issued under the Offer are eligible
shares for VCT income tax relief purposes.
E.4 Material interests Not applicable. No interest is material to the Offer.
E.5 Name of person Not applicable. No person or entity is offering to sell the security as part of the
selling securities Offer and there are no lock-up agreements.
E.6 Dilution Not applicable. The Venture Shares are a new class of security.
E.7 Expenses
charged to the
investor
Capital raising costs
TP11 will pay to 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 who
have not invested their money through a financial intermediary/adviser and have
invested directly into TP11 (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 has agreed to indemnify TP11
against the costs of the Offer excluding VAT exceeding 5.5% of the funds it
raises. The costs of the Offer will be borne solely by the Venture Fund. From this
sum, Triple Point will discharge all external costs, and its own costs, in respect of
the Offer.
Adviser charges
Commission is generally not permitted to be paid by TP11 to intermediaries who
provide a personal recommendation to retail clients on investments in VCTs after
30 December 2012. 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. Triple
Point can facilitate initial adviser charges, if any, which will reduce the amount
subscribed under the Offer. Investors should receive income tax relief on the net
subscription amount.
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 Venture Shares, subject to applicable laws and
regulations, and that Triple Point is still engaged with TP11 under the IMA, 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 in the Venture Fund, which will be paid out of the investment
management fees payable to Triple Point in respect of the Venture Fund for no
more than 10 years from the date of investment.

RISK FACTORS

TP11 and the Directors consider the following risks to be material to TP11 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 TP11's business, financial condition or results of operations. Also set out below are risks relating to TP11's investments, risks relating to tax reliefs including TP11's status as a VCT, and risks relating to the Investment Manager. Additional risks and uncertainties currently unknown to TP11 and the Directors or which TP11 and the Directors currently believe are immaterial may also have a materially adverse effect on TP11's business, financial condition or results of operations.

Risks relating to TP11

  • Although it is intended that the Venture Shares will be listed on the premium segment of the Official List and admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange, shares in VCTs are inherently illiquid and there may be a limited market in the Venture Shares and Investors may, therefore, have difficulty in selling them.
  • Any purchaser of the Venture Shares in the secondary market will not qualify for the then (if any) available tax reliefs afforded only to subscribers of Venture Shares on the amount invested.
  • The value of Venture Shares depends on the performance of TP11's underlying assets. However, the market price of the Venture Shares may not fully reflect their underlying NAV and will be determined, amongst other things, by the interaction of supply and demand for Venture Shares in the market, as well as the NAV per Venture Share. There is no guarantee that TP11 will buy back its Shares in the future.
  • Prospective Investors should be aware that the value of the Venture Shares can fluctuate and an Investor may not receive back the full amount originally invested.
  • TP11 intends, but does not guarantee, to produce regular tax-free dividends for its shareholders. In respect of the Venture Fund, TP11 aims to distribute from income generated by its investments 3 pence per Venture Share in the financial year ending 28 February 2021, 3 pence per Venture Share in the financial year ending 28 February 2022, followed by regular dividends of up to 5 pence per Venture Share per annum. TP11'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 TP11 having adequate distributable reserves and cash reserves.

Risks relating to TP11's investments

  • TP11 is required to ensure that no single investment will represent more than 15% of the aggregate NAV of TP11. However, in respect of the Venture Fund, TP11 may invest in companies in the same sector and its income may derive mainly from that sector. In the event of a sector downturn and/or regulatory changes within the sector or sectors from which income is derived, the level of returns for the Venture Fund could be adversely affected which may increase the risk to Investors.
  • Investments in small, private limited companies can involve a higher degree of risk than investments in larger, investment grade companies, and there can be a risk of substantial losses. In particular, small companies such as those targeted by the Venture Fund often have limited product lines, markets or financial resources. Such companies may be more susceptible to political, exchange rate, taxation and other regulatory changes than larger companies. The market for securities in smaller companies is also often less liquid than that for securities in larger companies. This brings with it potential difficulties in acquiring, valuing and disposing of such securities. Investment returns will therefore be uncertain and involve a higher degree of risk than investment in other, larger companies.
  • Investment in smaller companies, such as those targeted by the Venture Fund, can take a number of years before the underlying value or quality of the businesses are fully reflected in the market value of their shares. Their market value are also often materially affected by general market

sentiment, which may be negative for prolonged periods. This may adversely affect the performance of TP11.

  • TP11's portfolio of investments is subject to market fluctuations including but not limited to changes in inflation and interest rates. There can be no assurance that appreciation will occur or that losses will not be incurred. The ability of TP11 to return funds to Shareholders may be adversely affected by illiquidity in underlying assets. It may be difficult to deal in investments for which there is no recognisable market or to obtain reliable information about their value or the extent of the risks to which such investments are exposed.
  • Securities held by TP11 may have redemption or lock-in periods that affect liquidity and which could result in the premature or delayed realisation of investments.
  • Businesses in which TP11 invests may incur unplanned costs or delays as a result of statutory and regulatory requirements which may prevent them from meeting their business objectives and subsequently may reduce the level of returns to holders of Venture Shares.
  • Delays in the investment programme can either result in part of the Offer's net proceeds being held in cash or similarly liquid investments for longer than anticipated or investments not being realised in line with the expected schedule.

Risks relating to tax reliefs including TP11's status as a VCT

  • TP11 intends to manage its affairs in respect of each accounting period so as to maintain approval as a VCT. However, there can be no guarantee that TP11 will be able to maintain VCT status. A failure of TP11 to meet and maintain the qualifying requirements for a VCT may cause HMRC to withdraw TP11's status as a VCT, which could result in: Investors being required to repay the 30% income tax relief received on subscription for Venture Shares; loss of income tax relief on dividends paid (or subsequently payable) by TP11; loss of tax relief previously obtained in relation to corporation tax on capital gains made by TP11; and a liability to capital gains tax on the disposal of Venture Shares.
  • Prospective Investors whose decision to invest is based on the levels and bases of relief from taxation as set out in this document should be aware that these may change and such changes may be retrospective. The tax reliefs referred to in this document are those currently available for the 2018-2019 tax year and their values depend on the individual circumstances of Investors.
  • Investments in TP11 should be regarded as long-term in nature, as any sale of Venture Shares within five years of subscription will result in the 30% income tax relief available upon investment becoming repayable.
  • Tax relief on subscriptions for shares in a VCT is restricted where, within six months (before or after) that subscription, the Investor had disposed of shares in the same VCT or a VCT which at any time merges with that VCT, and where, in the case of a merger taking place after the subscription, it was known at the time of the subscription that the VCTs were intending to merge. Existing Shareholders should be aware that the sale of existing Shares within these periods could, therefore, put their income tax relief relating to the Offer at risk.
  • Investors may lose entitlement to tax reliefs by themselves taking or not taking certain steps. Prospective Investors should take appropriate advice on the tax aspects of their investment.
  • 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. This may reduce the amount of distributable reserves available to TP11 to fund dividends and share buy backs.
  • Qualifying conditions that became effective in the Finance (No 2 Act) 2015 introduced a maximum age limit for Qualifying Investments generally (7 years from first commercial sale, or 10 years for Knowledge Intensive Companies), and a maximum amount of Risk Finance State Aid which a Qualifying Company can receive over its lifetime (£12m, or £20m for Knowledge Intensive Companies). Companies receiving VCT funds will not be permitted to use those funds to acquire shares, businesses or certain intangible assets. These changes may mean that there are fewer

opportunities for investment and that TP11 may not be able to provide further investment funds for companies already in its portfolio.

The Finance Act 2018 introduced a new "risk-to-capital" condition for Qualifying Investments, designed to focus investments towards earlier stage, growing businesses, and away from investments which could be regarded as lower risk. TP11 may not make any prohibited non-Qualifying Investments, including those which breach the "risk-to-capital" condition. These changes may mean that there are fewer opportunities for investment and that TP11 may not be able to provide further investment funds for companies already in its portfolio. 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, violation of any of these conditions could result in the loss of VCT status by TP11 or HMRC requiring rectification of the breach, which may mean TP11 is forced to dispose of the investment at a loss.

Risks relating to Triple Point, the Investment Manager

  • Past performance of the Investment Manager is no indication of future performance. The returns delivered in the past may not be repeated in the future.
  • Triple Point and its officers, agents and affiliates, company directors, and persons or company with whom they are affiliated or by whom they are employed may be involved in other financial, investment, or other professional activities which may result in conflicts of interest with the companies invested in. An interested party may not be liable to account to TP11 for any profit made in connection with these activities. In particular, the companies may trade with other companies that have received investment from Triple Point managed funds. There is the potential for conflicts of interest between Triple Point's responsibilities to TP11 and its responsibility to raise funds for the companies themselves and between TP11's responsibilities to represent the interests of Shareholders in different share classes. 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 TP11.
  • TP11 may invest alongside other funds or entities managed or advised by the Investment Manager which would help TP11 to broaden its range of investments or the scale of opportunities further than if it were investing on its own. It is possible that conflicts may arise in these circumstances between different funds or between TP11 and the Investment Manager and in such circumstances that third parties may not be liable to account to TP11 for any profit made. 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 TP11.
  • There is no guarantee that the Investment Management Team will source sufficient deal flow that satisfies the Investment Policy.

PART 1: SHARE OFFER BY TP11

CHAIRMAN'S LETTER

Triple Point VCT 2011 plc 18 St. Swithin's Lane London EC4N 8AD

14 September 2018

Dear Investor,

Since its successful launch in April 2011, TP11 has raised gross proceeds of over £35 million which up to 31 March 2018 has been invested in 33 companies. Our investee companies span multiple sectors, from cinema digitisation to solar power, and have provided our Shareholders with strong risk-adjusted returns over the life of TP11.

We are proud to have achieved good returns for shareholders and are seeking to build on this success by raising further funds through the Offer.

I am pleased to introduce TP11's new offer to subscribe for Venture Shares in the newly established Venture Fund, a new share class established within TP11. An investment under the Offer in the Venture Fund will give you exposure to a portfolio of early stage companies with the potential for significant long term tax free capital growth and long term tax free income.

The Offer

Founded in 2004, Triple Point has been investing in and supporting early stage businesses for close to 15 years. Triple Point is proud of its track record, returning over £250 million to EIS and VCT investors. The Venture Fund builds on Triple Point's long track record with a distinct approach to early stage investing.

Triple Point has established a network of innovation specialists and venture capitalists (the "Triple Point Venture Network") which will work proactively with high-growth companies that are actively solving problems for large corporates. Research based on early stage business failures shows that more than 40% of such failures are due to issues in the initial stage of testing market demand, as the companies encounter problems relating to their market fit and business model. Triple Point, together with the Triple Point Venture Network, has developed a strategy which proactively helps innovative young businesses increase their chances of success. The Venture Fund will use what we call a challenge-led investment strategy. Triple Point, together with the Triple Point Venture Network and with TP11, will provide innovative early stage businesses with investment once products are validated by the market. TP11's Venture Fund in turn will seek to contribute to the acceleration of growth for these carefully selected businesses.

For early stage companies, the journey from start-up to scale-up is usually the most uncertain time in its lifecycle. The Venture Fund's investment strategy has been developed to help young companies to establish market fit faster and increase their chances of reaching scale. The Venture Fund will typically invest in early stage businesses that have worked in conjunction with the Triple Point Venture Network to achieve market fit by securing a transformational contract with a large corporate.

TP11 is seeking to raise £15 million, with an over-allotment facility of a further £15 million, through the Offer which will be open from 14 September 2018 until 30 August 2019, unless fully subscribed at an earlier date or unless previously extended by the Directors, to a date no later than 13 September 2019. Application will be made for all of the Venture Shares to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities. You can invest between £3,000 and £200,000 in the Offer in either or both of the 2018/2019 and 2019/2020 tax years. 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. The proceeds of the Offer will be kept separate from the investments in which the A Share class and the B Share class participate.

The Venture Fund intends to pay regular tax-free dividends, aiming to pay a dividend of 3 pence per Venture Share in the financial year ending 28 February 2021, 3 pence per Venture Share in the financial year ending 28 February 2022, followed by regular dividends of up to 5 pence per Venture Share per annum, from capital realisations and from income generated by its investments. TP11's ability to distribute dividends on an annual basis will be determined by the availability of distributable reserves, by legislative requirements and cash. The dividend targets may not be achieved and there is no certainty that any dividends will be paid.

Investment by the Directors and the Investment Management Team

The Directors have, together, proposed and are committed to invest £75,000 under the Offer and the Investment Management Team have, together, proposed and are committed to invest at least £150,000 under the Offer, on the same terms as Investors. To date, in aggregate, employees and members of the Triple Point Group, together with members of their families, have invested in excess of £1m in Triple Point managed VCTs.

How to Apply

You will find the Application Form for the Offer on TP11's website http://www.triplepoint.co.uk. The terms and conditions of subscription for Venture Shares are set out on pages 79 to 81, and the risks related with investing in the Venture Shares are outlined on pages 16 to 18. I would like to thank all our existing Shareholders for their past support as TP11 moves forward with this new, exciting offering.

I look forward to welcoming you as a Shareholder.

Yours Sincerely

Jane Owen Chairman

INFORMATION RELATING TO TP11 AND THE OFFER

ADVISERS TO TP11

Directors (all non-executive) Jane Owen (Chairman) James Chadwick Murrin Timothy Clarke all of: Registered Office 18 St. Swithin's Lane London EC4N 8AD Sponsor Howard Kennedy Corporate Services LLP No. 1 London Bridge London SE1 9BG Solicitors Howard Kennedy LLP No. 1 London Bridge London SE1 9BG Investment Manager, Administrator and Company Secretary Triple Point Investment Management LLP 18 St. Swithin's Lane London EC4N 8AD VCT Tax Adviser Philip Hare & Associates LLP First Floor 4-6 Staple Inn Holborn London WC1V 7QH Auditors BDO LLP 55 Baker Street London W1U 7EU Registrars Neville Registrars Limited Neville House Steelpark Road Halesowen West Midlands B62 8HD Receiving Agent Triple Point Administration LLP 18 St. Swithin's Lane London EC4N 8AD

Introduction to the Offer

Investment strategy targeting significant capital growth by investing in innovative companies

TP11's Offer for Venture Shares builds on Triple Point's long track record investing in small, growing UK companies. The Offer aims to provide Investors with exposure to young, innovative companies with the potential to deliver groundbreaking technology or products at scale, transform markets and achieve significant growth over an expected investment horizon of five to seven years. Businesses targeted by the Venture Fund will qualify for VCT investment and will have the potential to generate long term capital growth for TP11. Where possible, companies will also generate an income for TP11.

The Venture Fund will generally use a "challenge-led" investment strategy, which starts with identifying the problems faced by large corporates. Triple Point, together with its network of corporate innovation specialists and venture capitalist investors (the "Triple Point Venture Network"), will work with high-potential innovative small businesses that are best placed to solve those large, identified corporate problems. The large corporate identifying a problem will typically then purchase the product/service of an innovative small business, establishing market validation for that business. Alongside market validation, the innovative small business will enter into a significant, transformational contract with the large corporate, helping to develop an established brand and locking in revenue. It is transformational for the small business because accessing an established brand as a customer at this stage in its lifecycle is not usually possible without a lot of time and effort and/or an introduction from a respected and relevant angel investor. At this stage, once the contract is signed, TP11 will invest in the small business. This approach focuses on creating close, lasting relationships between the innovative small business and corporate that enables both to flourish.

TP11 may be the sole investor, lead or cornerstone investor or may decide to invest alongside a larger funding partner. TP11 would typically agree an option where possible to invest in the small innovative business prior to it being awarded a major contract. The full investment will then be made when it receives market validation through the award of a contract with a large corporate.

The Venture Fund's strategy aims to increase the chance of success by investing in this way. Triple Point, together with the Triple Point Venture Network, provides on-the-ground execution expertise to the investee company during the period they are working on solving a large corporate's problem. This help allows Triple Point to understand potential investee companies and identify their potential before solving the large corporate's problem and winning a contract. 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. The Triple Point Venture Network has access to more than 5,000 entrepreneurs and small innovative business and more than 100 large established brands.

In the UK, examples of household names that received venture capital include Skyscanner, Betfair and Asos. It is an exciting asset class at the forefront of global trends and innovation. Small businesses are also the backbone of the UK economy, making up 60% of private sector employment and 99.3% of all private sector businesses. For these reasons, the UK government recognises the importance of supporting and encouraging investment into this sector.

The Triple Point Venture Network will work closely with qualifying companies and the large corporate with the aim of securing the very best investment opportunities for the Venture Fund. For this, the Venture Fund will typically pay to 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 the Venture Fund. Typically, this will be in the form of an issue of shares in the qualifying company. This fee is not payable to Triple Point; it is paid only to external independent experts we partner with to help build the close innovative small business and corporate relationships as well as facilitating investments.

Alongside the "challenge-led" investment strategy, Triple Point will use its extensive industry knowledge to source other opportunities, some of which may be at a later stage of development than those identified by working with the Triple Point Venture Network. With this approach, Triple Point will provide Investors with access to a wide range of investments across sectors and technologies.

Target investee companies are likely to have already secured, or be in the process of securing, a contract from a meaningful organisation. In respect of the Venture Fund, TP11 will target more than 20 investments in different qualifying companies, typically taking equity stakes of 5-20% but possibly more or less than this depending on the opportunity. Board rights will be sought where possible.

Triple Point is motivated to deploy the proceeds of the Venture Fund promptly into businesses. Triple Point anticipates deploying at least 80% of the proceeds of the Offer by 28 February 2021, with the intention of investing all of the Venture Fund in Qualifying Investments as soon as practicable. For liquidity management purposes, and to ensure the Venture Fund is income generating as soon as possible, up to 20% of the Venture Fund may be invested into permitted Non-Qualifying Investments including 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).

TP11 is seeking to raise up to £15,000,000 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 £15,000,000. The proceeds of the Offer will be applied in accordance with TP11's Investment Policy as set out on pages 28. The Offer is conditional upon the passing of Resolutions 1 to 5 to be proposed at the General Meeting, the approval of the Resolution to be proposed at the Class Meetings, the Minimum Net Proceeds being raised before 12 noon on 5 April 2019 and HMRC confirming that the Venture Shares to be issued under the Offer are eligible shares for VCT income tax relief purposes.

Launching an offer for Venture Shares as opposed to an offer by a new VCT has the benefit of cost savings. Over the lifetime of TP11 there should be a saving for the Venture Fund in the fixed operating costs of TP11 as these are shared with the existing A Share Fund and the B Share Fund. The Offer enables Investors to take advantage of the substantial tax reliefs available to, and for investments in, VCTs, including up to 30% income tax relief on amounts invested.

The Offer will remain open until a date no later than 30 August 2019 unless fully subscribed at an earlier date or unless previously extended by the Directors, to a date no later than 13 September 2019. An application will be made for all of the Venture Shares to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities.

A Tax Efficient Investment

The tax rules governing VCT investments make TP11 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 Venture Shares are held for a period of at least five years and so long as TP11 maintains its VCT-qualifying status.

Dividend income from TP11 will be tax free and there will be no capital gains tax on a disposal of Venture Shares.

This is a brief summary only and such tax benefits are subject to an Investor's individual circumstances. 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.

Investment Policy of TP11

In light of the Offer and recent changes in VCT legislation, TP11 is proposing to amend its Investment Policy and provide a clear explanation of its investment objectives, its target asset allocation and the types of Qualifying Investment and Non-Qualifying Investments that it will make and the criteria against which investment targets will be assessed. The Offer is conditional upon the approval by Shareholders of the amended Investment Policy at the General Meeting.

TP11 does not believe that the changes outlined will affect the diversity of its portfolio and how TP11 is managed on a day-to-day basis.

Subject to the approval of Shareholders at the General Meeting, TP11's proposed Investment Policy is set out below.

Proposed Investment Policy

Investment Objectives

TP11's Investment Policy is directed towards new investments in businesses which either: (i) have the potential for high growth, or (ii) are cash flow generative businesses with a high quality customer base. All investment 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.

TP11 Venture Fund

TP11's Venture Fund focuses on providing funding to unquoted companies at an early stage in their lifecycle to help them grow and scale. TP11's Venture Fund typically makes initial investments of between £50,000 and £2 million and may make further follow on investments into existing portfolio companies. TP11 intends to build a portfolio of predominantly unquoted companies with significant growth potential across a diversified range of sectors.

TP11 A Share Fund and B Share Fund

The key objectives of TP11's A Share Fund and B Share Fund are to:

  • Pay regular tax-free dividends to investors;
  • Maintain VCT status to enable investors to benefit from the associated tax reliefs;
  • Reduce the volatility normally associated with early stage investments by applying its Investment Policy;
  • Make investments typically in the range of £500,000 to £5 million in companies with contractual revenues from financially sound counterparties; and
  • In respect of the B Share Fund only, provide investors with the option to exit shortly after 5 years following investment.

TP11 will not vary any of the above objectives for the Venture Fund, A Share Fund or B Share Fund to any material extent without the approval of the Shareholders.

Target Asset Allocation

TP11 aims to invest its capital fully in VCT Qualifying Investments. Where this is not practicable, the long term investment profile of TP11 is expected to be:

  • At least 80% in VCT Qualifying Investments, with a focus on unquoted companies with high growth potential for the Venture Fund; and
  • A maximum of 20% in permitted Non-Qualifying Investments, cash or cash-based similar liquid investments.

Qualifying Investments

Investment decisions made must adhere to HMRC's VCT qualification rules. In considering a prospective investment in a company, particular regard is made to:

  • the track record, expertise and ability of the management team with clear commercial and financial objectives;
  • a significant, often global, total addressable market;
  • the ability of the company to create and sustain a competitive advantage;
  • the quality of the company's assets, in particular where appropriate the ownership and effective use of proprietary technology and or an innovative product;
  • the high likelihood of a transformational corporate contract and established market fit and then the opportunity to develop regular, repeated income from new clients, leading to growth and long term profitability;
  • a high level of access to regular material financial and other information during the holding period;
  • an attractive valuation at the time of the investment;
  • the long-term prospect of being sold or listed in the future at a significant multiple of the initial investment value; and
  • in respect of the B Share Fund, the prospect of achieving an exit after 5 years of the life of the B Share Fund.

In respect of the Venture Fund, no more than 10% of the NAV of the Venture Fund (at the point of the investment), will be invested in companies which are not revenue-generating 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 TP11 to realise capital gains to enable TP11 to make tax-free distributions to shareholders.

Non-Qualifying Investments

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).

Borrowing Powers

Any borrowing by TP11 for the purposes of making investments will be in accordance with TP11's articles of association. To the extent that borrowing is required, the Directors will restrict the borrowings of TP11 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 TP11 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.

Risk Diversification

TP11 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 TP11 will represent more than 15 per cent of the aggregate NAV of TP11 at the time the investment is made.

Other Policies

Valuation Policy

All unquoted investments will be valued in accordance with BVCA or similar guidelines under which investments are not normally re-valued above cost within twelve months of acquisition unless third party funding has occurred. A brief summary of the BVCA guidelines as it applies to TP11's investments is as follows:

  • Investments should be reported at fair value where this can be reliably determined by the Board on the recommendation of the Investment Manager.
  • In estimating fair value for an investment, the valuation methodology applied should be the most appropriate for a particular investment. Such methodologies, including the price of the recent investment, earnings multiples, net assets, discounted cash flows or earnings and industry valuation benchmarks, should be applied consistently.
  • If fair value cannot be reliably measured, the carrying value at the previous reporting date will be used unless there is evidence of impairment, in which case the value will be reduced to reflect the estimated extent of the impairment.

Any quoted investments, if made, will be valued at prevailing bid prices.

Co-Investment Policy

TP11 may invest alongside other funds or entities managed or advised by the Investment Manager which would help TP11 to broaden its range of investments or the scale of opportunities than if it were investing on its own. It is possible that conflicts may arise in these circumstances between different funds or between TP11 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 TP11.

Dividend Policy

TP11 will distribute by way of dividend 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 TP11 will distribute most of its net income each year by way of dividend, subject to liquidity.

For the Venture Fund, TP11 intends to distribute 3 pence per Venture Share in the financial year ending 28 February 2021, 3 pence per Venture Share in the financial year ending 28 February 2022, followed by regular dividends of up to 5 pence per Venture Share per annum. TP11's ability to pay dividends is subject to the existence of realised profits, legislative requirements, and the available cash reserves of TP11.

Investors who wish to have dividends paid directly into a bank account, rather than by cheque to their registered address, should complete the dividend mandate form which it is expected will be sent to an Investor within 30 days of an allotment. Further dividend mandate forms can be obtained upon request from the registered office of TP11.

Share Buy-Back Policy

TP11 aims, but is not committed, to offer liquidity to Shareholders through on-going buy-backs, subject to the availability of distributable reserves, at a target discount of 5% to net asset value.

Share Realisation Policy

After an anticipated holding period of between five and seven years, which may include follow-on investments into investee companies as appropriate, Triple Point intends to identify opportunities to exit Venture Fund investments. Exits will typically be realised through trade sales to businesses, acquisitions by private equity funds, or selling TP11 shareholdings to later stage venture and growth capital funds during the course of further investee company fund raising activity. Sales during the course of further investee company fund raising 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 Investors.

The Board of Directors

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 TP11 with responsibility for its affairs, including determining its Investment Policy. Primary responsibility for the execution of TP11'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.

Deal Flow

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 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.

Past examples of investments

Triple Point is an experienced manager of investments across a diverse range of sectors. Investment has included companies specialising in cinema digitisation, boutique restaurants, food technology, Software-asa-Service (SaaS) and other new and disruptive technologies.

Set out below are four examples of recent investments arranged by Triple Point.

Flatfair, £150,000, November 2017

Flatfair is a property technology company tackling the issue of the high cost of rental deposits for young professionals. The investment was used to hire sales staff and launch a marketing campaign. Subsequently the technology has been embraced by a number of the UK's leading estate agents, including Spicer Haart, Felicity J Lord and Sowerbys, and the company is experiencing month on month revenue growth of 50%. The initial investment was made at a valuation of £3.5 million. The company has since raised further capital at a valuation of £9 million.

Perfectly Fresh Cheshire, £5,000,000, November 2017

Perfectly Fresh Cheshire (PFC) is an operator of vertical farming facilities which use technology and automation to grow leafy salads and herbs in the UK. The funds were raised to construct its first commercial scale vertical farming facility. It will grow produce under controlled conditions to provide year round crops to major UK supermarkets. Produce is grown using hydroponic techniques – i.e. the plants will be fed by a nutrient-rich water solution rather than soil, leading to a better quality of crops, extended shelf life and reduced food waste. The company has secured a contract with one of the largest producers of convenience food in the UK and is expecting a further fundraise in the near future, in order to commit funds to the construction of further facilities and to identify and win new corporate customers.

MWS Technology, £130,000 (with follow-on option for further £120,000), August 2018

MWS is a SaaS business that transforms the efficiency and ensures the compliance of organisations that deliver apprenticeship training. MWS demonstrated significant opportunities for growth. The introduction of new Government policies announced in 2017 are expected to transform the apprenticeship sector by increasing the size of the market threefold and introducing significant new requirements for apprenticeship training providers. Consequently, there was an opportunity for training providers to grow their businesses – as long as they could meet the simultaneous change in delivery requirements.

MWS, at the time of investment, was the only software provider able to supply the end-to-end functionality required for these major changes in apprenticeship delivery.

The unique nature of the company's product, which was developed over 3 years, suggested that MWS could capture a significant share of the apprenticeship delivery market, while its monthly subscription per apprenticeship charging model had the potential to deliver an attractive gross margin.

MWS had signed up dozens of apprenticeship providers at the date of investment, including one of the two largest companies in the sector. A significant proportion of the capital raised by MWS was to expand the number of sales and onboarding staff to drive monetisation of the company's software.

MWS is led by Richard Alberg, an experienced entrepreneur who previously founded a niche technology SaaS company that he successfully sold in 2006.

Skin Analytics, £120,000 (with follow-on option for further £100,000), August 2018

Skin Analytics (SA) is focused on increasing the effectiveness of identifying melanoma skin cancer by providing dermatological quality digital images and diagnosis using artificial intelligence (AI). SA demonstrated significant opportunities for growth.

Melanoma is one of the world's fastest growing types of cancer. The most common sign of melanoma is the appearance of a new mole or a change in an existing mole. SA is addressing melanoma in two key ways:

  • Firstly, it had developed a low cost, high quality lens that attaches to a smartphone allowing users to take dermatologist-quality digital images of skin lesions, which are then sent directly to a dermatologist via an app. By itself this allows dermatologists to make first assessments of potential melanomas much more efficiently than by meeting each patient. SA was already providing this service to both the NHS and a leading private insurer.
  • Secondly, over a three-year period SA had developed AI that evidence suggests can identify melanoma at least on a par with dermatologists. As the final stage of the verification process, SA's AI was, at the time of investment, the subject of a clinical trial in hospitals in North London, comparing its diagnostic performance to that of dermatologists. If successful, SA will be able to provide a complete scan-to-diagnosis digital service.

SA's low cost digital dermascope and the diagnostic ability of its AI should speed up the rate at which melanoma diagnoses are made and significantly reduce current patient costs. The company is expected to take a meaningful share of the initial assessment of potential melanomas, with dermatologists increasingly focusing on later stage melanomas and treatment. SA will initially concentrate on providing services to the NHS and private insurers. There is potential for SA to provide its services to individual customers and for the company to expand overseas.

Exit Strategy

Subject to Resolution 4 being passed at the General Meeting, at the later of (i) the tenth anniversary of Admission and (ii) the tenth anniversary of the last allotment of Venture Shares the Directors shall put an ordinary resolution to the holders of Venture Shares and, if passed, the Directors shall draw up proposals for the reorganisation or reconstruction of the Company in respect of the Venture Shares for submission to the members of the Company at a general meeting to be convened by the Directors as soon as reasonably practicable without prejudice to the VCT status of the Company.

Examples of Triple Point Venture Network success stories

Innovative technology company 1 wins contract with large car manufacturer. The challenge was to consider how the large car manufacturer would educate its customers about a new electric car fleet. The solution was developed by a young innovative business by using an artificial intelligence "chatbot" (before these were commonplace) that could recognise emotion/sentiment and respond to queries. Later that year the concept was rolled out across the whole of Europe. Starting with zero revenue, the small business secured a contract with the large car manufacturer worth £150,000 per annum. It then secured additional contracts from other large corporates and raised \$10 million at a valuation of \$26 million.

Innovative technology company 2 wins contract with large consultancy firm. The challenge was to consider how the large consultancy firm would ensure its staff are up to date with changes in regulation, and to remain proactive rather than reactive to client's needs. An artificial intelligence search engine tool was developed to monitor the appropriate sources of information and send an alert to the appropriate person. The concept was tested with a team of five people working on it, before a roll out across all UK offices. Starting with zero revenue, the small business secured a £1 million contract with the large consultancy firm.

Innovative technology company 3 wins contract with large retailer. The challenge was to consider how the large retailer would enhance the customer journey in store. The small company developed a customer experience management platform that helps brands to transform customer experience including managing queues, appointments online, and customers waiting to collect orders. The concept was rolled out following a successful 8 week trial. Starting with £400,000 revenue, and a valuation of £4.5 million, the small company was awarded a significant contract from the large retailer and thereafter secured additional funding at a valuation of £14.5 million.

Innovative technology company 4 wins contract with large car manufacturer. The challenge was to consider how the large car manufacturer would ensure that its insurance interface technology delivered the best customer journey. The innovative technology company provided a solution which allowed customers to buy insurance direct from the car manufacturer via an app. Starting with zero revenue, the innovative technology company was awarded a contract from the large car manufacturer to become its first distribution partner in the UK and potentially in other regions. A year later the innovative technology company secured further funding at a valuation of £7.6 million.

Triple Point has established an Advisory Committee to support its investment team. The members have significant investment experience in high growth businesses and includes highly successful entrepreneurs.

The members of the Advisory Committee will assist the investment team in investment selection and monitoring by providing second opinions, industry contacts, technical knowledge, and thematic guidance. The Advisory Committee's input on investee company business models, growth plans and technology will come before a potential investment is brought to Triple Point's Investment Committee for final approval.

Members of the Advisory Committee include:

Michael Wood

The company serves more than 5,000 accounting and bookkeeping firms and over 100,000 businesses across the world.

Charles Delingpole

Charles is a serial entrepreneur and has founded three highly innovative technology companies. He is the Founder and CEO of ComplyAdvantage, the world's only AI driven risk database on financial crime. The company helps financial institutions ensure they are compliant with anti-money laundering requirements. Charles set up his first company, The Student Room, when he was 16. The Student Room is used by 75% of UK students aged 14-24 and is the world's largest student discussion forum. He then went on to cofound FinTech firm MarketInvoice, one of the UK's first peer to peer lenders.

Summary of Tax Benefits for VCT Investors

VCTs were established in 1995/1996 as tax efficient investment vehicles intended to invest in portfolios of smaller unlisted UK based companies. The income tax relief available to investors of new shares in a VCT is 30% and the personal annual investment limit is £200,000.

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 Venture Shares under the Offer will be entitled to income tax relief of up to 30% provided that the 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:

  • all dividends received will be tax free.
  • any gains on the disposal of the Venture Shares will be tax free.

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 TP11. Further information on the tax position of Investors under the Offer is set out in Section B of Part 1.

Before investing in TP11, potential Investors should seek advice from an appropriate professional adviser as to the consequences of so doing.

Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs Approval

TP11 has obtained approval as a VCT from HMRC and the Offer is conditional upon HMRC confirming that the Venture Shares to be issued under the Offer are eligible shares for VCT income tax relief purposes. The Directors intend to manage TP11's affairs in order that it, and there are internal controls in place to ensure that TP11 does so, complies with the legislation applicable to VCTs. In this regard Philip Hare & Associates LLP has been appointed to advise on VCT tax matters generally and, in particular, on TP11's VCT status. TP11 must continue to satisfy the requirements to qualify as a VCT or lose such status.

TP11's Costs

Capital raising costs

TP11 will pay to 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 who have not invested their money through a financial intermediary/adviser and have invested directly into TP11 (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 has agreed to indemnify TP11 against the costs of the Offer excluding VAT exceeding 5.5% of the funds it raises. The costs of the Offer will be borne solely by the Venture Fund. From this sum, Triple Point will discharge all external costs including commissions, and its own costs, in respect of the Offer. The payment of initial charges agreed between an authorised financial adviser and the Investor can be facilitated by Triple Point, which will reduce the amount subscribed under the Offer.

Annual fees and running costs

Triple Point has been appointed as TP11's Investment Manager and administrator under the IMA.

The IMA in its current form provides for the following:

In respect of TP11 as a whole:

  • Triple Point will receive a fee for administration services of £37,500 (plus VAT) per annum payable quarterly in arrear;
  • Triple Point will receive a fee for company secretarial services equal to £7,500 (plus VAT) per annum; and

In respect of the A Share Fund:

  • Triple Point will receive investment management fees (exclusive of VAT) equal to 2.0% per annum of the A Share Fund's NAV, payable quarterly in arrear; and
  • Triple Point will receive a performance incentive fee based upon returns to holders of A Shares. The amount of the performance incentive fee payable is based on distributions made to holders of A Shares. To the extent that, on any distribution made to holders of A Shares, the total of all distributions per A Share made to holders of A Shares (including the distribution in question being made) exceeds a hurdle, being at the time of any distribution to holders of A Shares the higher of (i) 100 pence per A Share and (ii) the total of all distributions per A Share made to holders of A Shares prior to that distribution, Triple Point will be entitled to receive a sum equal to 20% of the excess.

In respect of the B Share Fund:

Triple Point will receive investment management fees (exclusive of VAT) equal to 1.9% per annum of the B Share Fund's NAV, payable quarterly in arrear.

Triple Point agreed to indemnify TP11 in respect of any annual costs (but excluding any exceptional or extraordinary costs) in excess of 3.5% of TP11's NAV (excluding VAT).

Triple Point's appointment under the IMA will continue for at least five years following the admission of the B Shares to listing on the Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities and, thereafter, will terminate on 12 months' notice by either party subject to earlier termination in certain circumstances.

Annual Directors' fees payable to the Board will not exceed £100,000 (excluding any VAT or national insurance contributions).

Triple Point may retain arrangement fees in connection with investments made into unquoted companies. The Triple Point Group may also benefit from the receipt of business administration fees charged against such companies, the level of which, in the case of a particular company, may be related to that company's performance.

Any investment or other asset of any description of the Company will be held in the Company's name although in exceptional circumstances Triple Point may hold such investments or assets in the name of Triple Point or other FCA authorised person acting as custodian where, due to the nature of the law or market practice of an overseas jurisdiction, it is in the best interests of the Company to do so or it is not feasible to do otherwise.

The IMA will be varied, subject to the Offer becoming effective and subject to the approval of Shareholders at the General Meeting, to provide for the following:

In respect of the Venture Fund:

  • Triple Point will receive investment management fees (exclusive of VAT) equal to 2% per annum of the Venture Fund's NAV, payable quarterly in arrear;
  • Triple Point is entitled to a performance incentive fee. The performance incentive fee will not be payable to Triple Point until the total return (net asset value plus distributions made) to holders of Venture Shares exceeds the initial net subscription amount by an annual threshold of 3% calculated on a compound basis. To the extent that the total return exceeds the threshold over the relevant period then a performance incentive fee of 20% of the excess will be paid to Triple Point. Performance fees will be assessed based on audited year-end valuations and will be accrued in the accounts of TP11. High water marks will apply; and
  • Triple Point will receive the capital raising fee set out above in the paragraph headed "Capital raising costs".

In respect of TP11 as a whole:

  • The fee payable to Triple Point for administration services equal to £37,500 (plus VAT) per annum payable quarterly in arrear will be removed and will be replaced with a fee for administration services payable quarterly in arrear of 0.25% (plus VAT) of TP11's NAV per annum.
  • It is proposed that Triple Point's appointment under the IMA will continue for at least five years following the Admission and, thereafter, will terminate on 12 months' notice by either party subject to earlier termination in certain circumstances

TP11's annual running costs will continue to be capped at 3.5% of TP11's NAV (excluding VAT, any arrangement fees (including any fees paid to the Triple Point Venture Network) and also any performance fees payable to Triple Point). Any excess will be met by Triple Point by way of a reduction in future investment management fees.

The investment management and performance incentive fees for the A Share Fund and the B Share Fund, as set out above, are unchanged.

Assuming £30,000,000 is raised under the Offer and that the costs of the Offer are 5.5%, the Directors estimate that the Annual Running Costs will be approximately 2.6% of TP11's NAV (excluding VAT) as opposed to approximately 2.9% of TP11's NAV (excluding VAT) prior to the Offer. Such running costs of TP11 will include the management and administration fees described above as well as fees for Directors, the auditors, taxation advisers, registrar, other direct costs incurred in the management/running of the VCT and the costs of communicating with Shareholders.

Communicating with Shareholders

The Directors are committed to communicate regularly with Shareholders. A copy of TP11's annual report and financial statements (expected to be published each June) and a copy of TP11'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. TP11'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 interim management statements expected to be made up to 31 May and 30 November 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 enabling them to claim income tax relief on their investment in Venture Shares.

Status of TP11 and the Triple Point Group

TP11 is registered with the FCA as a small registered UK alternative investment fund manager. Triple Point Investment Management LLP (FRN: 456597) and Triple Point Administration LLP are both authorised and regulated by the FCA.

Details of the Offer

Minimum and maximum investment

The 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 £15,000,000 is being raised by the issue of 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 £15,000,000 by issue of Venture Shares. The Offer is conditional upon the Minimum Net Proceeds being raised prior to 12 noon on 5 April 2019. If this is not raised the Offer will lapse and all application monies will be returned (without interest) by returning applicants' cheques or by crossed cheque in favour of applicants through the post at the risk of the person entitled thereto. 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 2018/2019 and 2019/2020 tax years. 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 any 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 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.

Venture Share Price Calculation

The price per Venture Share 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 Venture Shares reflects the amount of initial commission, if any, payable to the Investor's authorised financial adviser/authorised introducer and to Triple Point (initial adviser charges, if any, can be facilitated by Triple Point, which will reduce the amount subscribed under the Offer):

Price per Venture Share = (A) / {100 – ((B) x 100)} (in units of £ per Venture Share)

Where: (A) is the latest published NAV per Venture Share, which until such time as there is a published NAV per Venture Share shall be deemed to be 100 pence per Venture Share

(B) is the percentage initial charge payable by TP11 to Triple Point, including the percentage initial commission (if any) (maximum 3%) payable by TP11 to an authorised introducer

The price per Venture Share (calculated in accordance with the formula above) will be rounded to the nearest 0.001 pence

The number of Venture Shares to be allotted is then determined, as follows:

Number of Venture Shares to be allotted = amount subscribed under the Offer / price per Venture Share

The number of Venture Shares to be allotted will be rounded down to the nearest whole Venture Share.

Example:

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 is agreed to be paid to the authorised introducer.

Therefore, the price per Venture Share is: 100 / {100 – (5.5% x 100)} = £1.05820 per Venture Share (rounded to 5 decimal places)

For £100,000 subscribed, this will result in an allocation of: £100,000 / £1.05820 per Venture Share = 94,500 Venture Shares.

TP11 will pay the initial charge to Triple Point, which includes the commission payable to the authorised introducer.

Adviser charges

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. This charge should be paid directly by the Investor to the authorised financial adviser. Triple Point can facilitate initial adviser charges, if any, which will reduce the amount subscribed under the Offer. Investors should receive income tax relief on the net subscription amount.

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 Venture Shares, subject to applicable laws and regulations, and that Triple Point is still engaged with TP11 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 in the Venture Fund, which will be paid out of the investment management fees payable to Triple Point in respect of the Venture Fund for no more than 10 years from the date of investment.

Listing

An application has been made to the UK Listing Authority and will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the Venture Shares subscribed for under the Offer to be listed on the premium segment of the Official List and admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities respectively. The 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. Venture Shares in respect of applications received for the 2018/2019 Offer will be issued and allotted on or before 5 April 2019 and it is expected that Venture Shares in respect of applications received for the 2019/2020 Offer will be issued and allotted on or before 30 August 2019, with Admission commencing within ten Business Days following such allotment. Details of allotments and the subscription price for 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 Venture Shares will be posted to Shareholders within 30 Business Days of allotment of the Venture Shares. No temporary documents of title will be issued. The Offer is not underwritten.

SECTION B

TAX POSITION OF INVESTORS UNDER THE OFFER

The following is only a summary of the law concerning the tax position of individual investors in VCTs. Potential investors who are in any doubt about the taxation consequences of investing in a VCT are recommended to consult a professional adviser.

Tax reliefs

The tax reliefs set out below are available to individuals aged 18 or over who subscribe for 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 in any tax year 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.

Income tax

Relief from income tax on investment

Income tax relief at the rate of 30% will be available on subscriptions for Venture Shares up to a maximum of £200,000 in any tax year. 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 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 Venture Shares either on his own behalf or the 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 Venture Shares if, within six months of subscription, whether before or after the subscription, the Investor has disposed of any Shares in TP11.

Dividend relief

An Investor who acquires in any tax year 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.

The Finance Act 2014 amended the VCT Rules in respect of VCT shares issued on or after 6 April 2014. 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.

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.

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.

Capital gains tax

Relief from capital gains tax on the disposal of shares.

A disposal by an Investor of 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.

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.

Obtaining tax reliefs

TP11 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

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.

Withholding taxation

No taxation will be withheld at source on any income arising from the Venture Shares and TP11 assumes no responsibility for such withholding.

HMRC withdrawal of VCT approval

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.

The impact of the death of an Investor

Should an Investor die having made an investment in Venture Shares, the transfer of the 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 claw-back of the income tax relief obtained on the subscription for those Venture Shares. The value of the Venture Shares will however be included in the estate of the deceased for inheritance tax purposes.

The beneficiary of the Venture Shares inherited from a deceased Investor will continue to be entitled to receive tax-free dividends but will not be eligible for initial income tax relief as this is only available in respect of applications for new shares.

The impact of a transfer of shares between spouses and civil partners

The transfer of Venture Shares between spouses and civil partners is not treated as a disposal of shares for the purposes of the VCT legislation and the new owner will be eligible to receive tax-free dividends.

SECTION C

TAX POSITION OF TP11

VCTs have to satisfy a number of tests to continue to qualify as VCTs. How these conditions apply to TP11 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.

Qualification as a VCT

To qualify as a VCT, a company must be approved as such by HMRC. To obtain such approval it must:

  • (a) derive its income wholly or mainly from shares or securities;
  • (b) have at least 70% by value of its investments represented by "Qualifying Investments" (see below). From 1 March 2020, this requirement will increase to 80%;
  • (c) for funds raised after 5 April 2011 and for investments made after 5 April 2018, have at least 70% by value of Qualifying Investments included in the 'qualifying investments' requirement in ordinary shares which do not have any preferential rights to assets on a winding up or any rights to be redeemed but which may have a preferential dividend right, so long as that right is non-cumulative and is not subject to discretion ("eligible shares");
  • (d) for shares issued after 31 March 2019, invest at least 30% of those funds in Qualifying Investments by the anniversary of the end of the accounting period in which the shares were issued;
  • (e) not have more than 15% by value of its investments in any single company or group (other than another VCT or a company which would, if its shares were listed, qualify as a VCT) at the time any investment is made or added to;
  • (f) have its ordinary share capital included on the Official List or quoted on any regulated market in the EU or European Economic Area;
  • (g) not retain more than 15% of its income derived from shares and securities in any accounting period;
  • (h) not be a close company;
  • (i) not make an investment in a company which causes that company to receive more than £5 million of State Aid investment in the 12 months ended on the date of the investment;
  • (j) not return capital to shareholders before the third anniversary of the end of the accounting period during which the share issue occurs;
  • (k) not invest in a company that causes that company to receive more than £12 million (£20 million if the company is deemed to be a Knowledge Intensive Company) of State Aid investment (including from VCTs) over the company's lifetime. A subsequent acquisition by the company of another company that has previously received State Aid risk finance can cause the lifetime limit to be exceeded;
  • (l) not invest in a company whose first commercial sale was more than 7 years (10 years for a Knowledge Intensive Company) prior to the date of investment, except where previous State Aid risk finance was received by the company within 7 years or where a turnover test is satisfied;
  • (m) ensure that no funds received from a Qualifying Investment will be used to acquire an existing company, or an existing business, trade or intangible asset in use in a trade; and
  • (o) not make a Non-Qualifying Investment other than those specified in Section 274 ITA 2007.

The risk-to-capital condition introduced in 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 TP11 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 exist wholly for the purpose of carrying on one or more qualifying trades and are limited to investments of £5,000,000 per tax year per company. 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 from 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 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 State Aid risk finance was received by the company within 7 years or where a turnover test is satisfied. Funds received from an investment by a VCT cannot be used to acquire another existing business or trade. 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).

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:

  • 4.2.2.1 it is duly stamped (if so required), is lodged with TP11's registrars or at such other place as the Directors may appoint and is accompanied by the certificate for the shares to which it relates and such other evidence as the Directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer;
  • 4.2.2.2 it is in respect of only one class of Share;
  • 4.2.2.3 the transferees do not exceed four in number.

4.2.3 Dividends

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 TP11.

The A Shares shall entitle their holders to receive such dividends as the Directors may resolve to pay out of the net assets attributable to the A Shares and from income received and accrued which is attributable to the A Shares.

The B Shares shall entitle their holders to receive such dividends as the Directors may resolve to pay out of the net assets attributable to the B Shares and from income received and accrued which is attributable to the B Shares.

Subject to Resolution 4 being passed at the General Meeting, 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 TP11, 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.

4.2.4 Disclosure of Interest in Shares

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 TP11 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 TP11 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 TP11 then in issue, the withholding of payment of any dividends on, and the restriction of transfer of, the relevant Shares.

4.2.5 Distribution of Assets on Liquidation

On a winding-up any surplus assets will be divided amongst the holders of each class of Shares in TP11 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 A Shares, an amount equivalent to the aggregate Net Asset Value of the A Shares, calculated in accordance with TP11's usual accounting policies and adjusted for any amounts as the liquidator may consider appropriate so as to be a fair value for the A Shares, will be divided amongst the holders of the A Shares.

To the extent that there are B Shares, an amount equivalent to the aggregate Net Asset Value of the B Shares, calculated in accordance with TP11's usual accounting policies and adjusted for any amounts as the liquidator may consider appropriate so as to be a fair value for the B Shares, will be divided amongst the holders of the B Shares.

Subject to Resolution 4 being passed at the General Meeting, 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 TP11'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 TP11 in such manner as he may determine.

  • 4.2.6 Changes in Share Capital
  • 4.2.6.1 Without prejudice to any rights attaching to any existing Shares, any Share may be issued with such rights or restrictions as TP11 may by ordinary resolution determine or, in the absence of such determination, as the Directors may determine. Subject to the Act, TP11 may issue Shares, which are, or at the option of TP11 or the holder are, liable to be redeemed.
  • 4.2.6.2 TP11 may by ordinary resolution increase its share capital, consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into Shares of larger amount, sub-divide its Shares or any of them into Shares of smaller amounts or cancel or reduce the nominal value of any Shares which have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person and diminish the amount of its share capital by the amount so cancelled or the amount of the reduction.
  • 4.2.6.3 Subject to the CA 2006, TP11 may by special resolution reduce its share capital, any capital redemption reserve and any share premium account, and may also, subject to the CA 2006, purchase its own Shares.

  • 4.2.6.4 TP11 may by ordinary resolution convert any fully paid up Shares into stock of the same class as the Shares which shall be so converted and reconvert such stock into fully paid up Shares of the same class and of any denomination.

  • 4.2.7 Variation of Rights

Whenever the capital of TP11 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.

4.2.8 Conversion Rights

The Shares have no conversion rights under the provisions of the Articles.

4.2.9 Directors

Unless and until otherwise determined by TP11 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 TP11 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 TP11 shall be an officer of TP11, shall alone be responsible to TP11 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 TP11'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 TP11or to hold such other executive office in relation to the management of the business of TP11 as they may decide.

A Director may continue or become a Director or other officer, servant or member of any company promoted by TP11 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 chairman of TP11 (who need not be a Director of TP11) 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 TP11 in any specified locality, whether at home or abroad, in such manner as they think fit.

  • 4.2.10 Directors' Interests

  • 4.2.10.2 Provided that he has declared his interest in accordance with paragraph 4.2.10.1, a Director may be a party to or otherwise interested in any transaction or arrangement with TP11 or in which TP11 is otherwise interested and may be a director or other officer or otherwise interested in any body corporate promoted by TP11 or in which TP11 is otherwise interested. No Director so interested shall be accountable to TP11, by reason of his being a Director, for any benefit that he derives from such office or interest or any such transaction or arrangement.

  • 4.2.10.3 A Director shall not vote nor be counted in the quorum at a meeting of the Directors in respect of a matter in which he has any material interest otherwise than by virtue of his interest in shares, debentures or other securities of, or otherwise in or through TP11, unless his interest arises only because the case falls within one or more of the following paragraphs:

  • 4.2.10.4 When proposals are under consideration concerning the appointment of two or more Directors to offices or employment with TP11 or any company in which TP11 is interested the proposals may be divided and considered in relation to each Director separately and (if not otherwise precluded from voting) each of the Directors concerned shall be entitled to vote and be counted in the quorum in respect of each resolution except that concerning his own appointment.
  • 4.2.11 Remuneration of Directors
  • 4.2.11.1 The ordinary remuneration of the Directors shall be such amount as the Directors shall from time to time determine (provided that unless otherwise approved by TP11 in general meeting the aggregate ordinary remuneration of such Directors, including fees, shall not exceed £100,000 per year) to be divided among them in such proportion and manner as the Directors may determine.

4.2.12 Retirement of Directors

At the annual general meeting of TP11 next following the appointment of a Director he shall retire from office.

4.2.13 Borrowing Powers

Subject as provided below, the Directors may exercise all the powers of TP11 to borrow money and to mortgage or charge its undertaking, property and uncalled capital. The Directors shall restrict the borrowings of TP11 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 TP11 and any subsidiary undertakings for the time being (excluding intra-group borrowings), shall not without the previous sanction of an ordinary resolution of TP11 exceed a sum equal to 30% of TP11's NAV at the time of any borrowing.

4.2.14 Distribution of Realised Capital Profits

In respect of any period prior to 5 April 2012, at any time when TP11 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 TP11'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 Act, the Board may determine whether any amount received by TP11 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 Act, 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 TP11 or be regarded or treated as profits of TP11 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 TP11. 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 TP11 or be regarded or treated as profits of TP11 available for distribution or applied in paying dividends on any shares in TP11.

4.2.15 Duration of TP11

Article 182A of the Articles provides that the Directors shall put an ordinary resolution to the holders the B Shares at the annual general meeting in 2021, and, if passed, the Directors shall draw up proposals for the reorganisation or reconstruction of TP11 in respect of the B Shares, for submission to the members of TP11 at a general meeting to be convened by the Directors as soon as reasonably practicable without prejudice to the VCT status of TP11. 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 TP11 at such time.

Article 182B of the Articles provides that on or before the later of (i) the tenth anniversary of Admission 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 TP11 in respect of the Venture Shares, for submission to the members of TP11 at a general meeting to be convened by the Directors as soon as reasonably practicable without prejudice to the VCT status of TP11. 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 TP11 at such time.

4.2.16 General Meetings

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 TP11, 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 TP11'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 TP11 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 TP11's articles or the terms of issue of the shares they hold, are not entitled to receive notice from TP11, 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 TP11 or any class of the members of TP11 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 Chairman 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. TP11 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 chairman 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.

4.2.17 Distributable Profits

Subject to Resolution 4 being passed at the General Meeting and to the Resolutions being passed at the Class Meetings, it is proposed that the profits available for distribution of TP11, from whatever source and howsoever arising (including for the avoidance of doubt from any special reserve created upon the cancellation of any part of TP11's share premium account), shall be available for the benefit of all share classes of TP11 to facilitate the payment of dividends, distributions or the making of share purchases, and notwithstanding any other provision of the Articles in relation to the keeping of separate accounts or otherwise, and shall be accounted for on a company-wide basis. This shall enable the use of profits available for distribution of TP11 from whatever source and howsoever arising for the purposes of payment of dividends or distributions on, or purchases of, the A Shares, the B Shares and the Venture Shares and any other class of share of TP11 from time to time. Any such dividend or distribution on or purchase of an A Share, a B Share or a Venture Share shall result in a corresponding deduction in the assets attributable to that class of Share and will not transfer any net asset value between the different share classes.

5 CREST

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.

8 OFFER AGREEMENT

Under an offer agreement dated 14 September 2018, between TP11, the Directors, Howard Kennedy, Triple Point and the Investment Management Team, Howard Kennedy has agreed to act as sponsor to the Offer and Triple Point has agreed, as agent of TP11, to use its reasonable endeavours to procure subscribers for the Venture Shares on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the Prospectus (the "Offer Agreement").

Under the Offer Agreement, which may be terminated by Howard Kennedy in certain circumstances of breach, Triple Point, the Investment Management Team and the Directors have given certain warranties, customary for this type of agreement, 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 TP11 for the accounting year ending 29 February 2020. The liability of the Directors and each member of the Investment Management Team in respect of a breach of a warranty or representation is limited to £12,500 each. TP11 has 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 arise under the Offer 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.

9 TAKEOVERS AND MERGERS

9.1 Mandatory takeover bids

The City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Code") applies to all takeover and merger transactions in relation to TP11 and operates principally to ensure that shareholders are treated fairly and are not denied an opportunity to decide on the merits of a takeover and that shareholders of the same class are afforded equivalent treatment. The Code provides an orderly framework within which takeovers are conducted and the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers has now been placed on a statutory footing. The Takeovers Directive was implemented in the UK in May 2006 and since 6 April 2007 has effect through the CA 2006. The Directive applies to takeovers of companies registered in an EU member state and admitted to trading on a regulated market in the EU or EEA.

The Code is based upon a number of General Principles which are essentially statements of standards of commercial behaviour. General Principle One states that all holders of securities of an offeree company of the same class must be afforded equivalent treatment and if a person acquires control of a company the other holders of securities must be protected. This is reinforced by Rule 9 of the Code which requires that a person, together with persons acting in concert with him, who acquires shares carrying voting rights which amount to 30% or more of the voting rights to make a general offer. "Voting rights" for these purposes means all the voting rights attributable to the share capital of a company which are currently exercisable at a general meeting. A general offer will also be required where a person who, together with persons acting in concert with him, holds not less than 30% but not more than 50% of the voting rights, acquires additional shares which increase his percentage of the voting rights. Unless the Panel consents, the offer must be made to all other shareholders, be in cash (or have a cash alternative) and cannot be conditional on anything other than the securing of acceptances which will result in the offeror and persons acting in concert with him holding shares carrying more than 50% of the voting rights.

There are not in existence any current mandatory takeover bids in relation to TP11.

9.2 Squeeze out

Section 979 of the CA 2006 provides that if, within certain time limits, an offer is made for the share capital of TP11, 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.

9.3 Sell out

Section 983 of the CA 2006 permits a minority shareholder to require an offeror to acquire its shares if the offeror has acquired or contracted to acquire shares in a company which amount to not less than 90% in value of all the voting shares in the company and carry not less than 90%, of the voting rights. Certain time limits apply to this entitlement. If a shareholder exercises its rights under these provisions, the offeror is bound to acquire those shares on the terms of the offer or on such other terms as may be agreed.

10. NOTIFICATIONS OF SHAREHOLDINGS

The provisions of DTR 3 will apply to TP11 and its shareholders. DTR 3 sets out the notification requirements for shareholders and TP11 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 TP11 must be made within two trading days of the event giving rise to the notification requirement and TP11 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.

11. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The UK Corporate Governance Code published by the Financial Reporting Council in April 2016 (the "Code") presently applies to TP11. The Directors acknowledge the section headed "Comply or Explain" in the preamble to the Code which acknowledges that some provisions may have less relevance for investment companies and, in particular, consider some areas inappropriate to the size and nature of the business of TP11. Accordingly, the provisions of the Code are complied with save that (i) new Directors do not receive a full, formal and tailored induction on joining the Board (such matters are addressed on an individual basis as they arise), (ii) a formal performance evaluation of the Board, its committees, the Directors and the chairman has not been undertaken, (iii) TP11 does not have a senior independent Director, (iv) TP11 does not conduct a formal review as to whether there is a need for an internal audit function as the Directors do not consider that an internal audit would be an appropriate control for a venture capital trust, (v) as all the Directors are non-executive it is not considered appropriate to appoint a nomination or remuneration committee and (vi) TP11's audit committee comprises the three non-executive directors, all of whom are considered independent. The Board regularly reviews the independence of its Directors.

I: 21.2

I: 22

The Code has been revised in respect of accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.

12. AUDIT COMMITTEE

The audit committee of TP11 comprises the Board and meets at least twice a year. TP11's auditors may be required to attend such meetings. The audit committee prepares a report each year addressed to the Shareholders for inclusion in TP11's annual report and accounts. The duties of the audit committee are, inter alia:

  • to review and approve the half yearly and annual results of TP11 and the statutory accounts before submission to the Board;
  • to review management accounts;
  • to consider the appointment of the external auditor, the level of audit fees and to discuss with the external auditor the nature and scope of the audit;
  • to consider matters of corporate governance as may generally be applicable to TP11 and make recommendations to the Board in connection therewith as appropriate.

13. NOMINATION AND REMUNERATION COMMITTEE

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 meetings whose purpose is the setting of his own remuneration.

14 MATERIAL CONTRACTS

The following are the only contracts (not being contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business) which have been entered into by TP11 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 TP11 and which contain any provision under which TP11 has any obligation or entitlement which is, or may be, material to TP11 as at the date of this document:

  • 14.1 The offer agreement, details of which are set out in paragraph 8 above.
  • 14.2 An offer agreement dated 23 December 2015 (the "2015 Offer Agreement"), between TP11, the Directors, Howard Kennedy, Triple Point and the Investment Management Team, under which Howard Kennedy agreed to act as sponsor to the offer for subscription that was launched on 23 December 2015 (the "2015/16 Offer") and Triple Point agreed, as agent of TP11, to use its reasonable endeavours to procure subscribers for B Shares on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the prospectus relating to the "2015/16 Offer" (the "2015 Prospectus").

Under the 2015 Offer Agreement, Triple Point, the Investment Management Team and the Directors gave certain warranties, customary for this type of agreement, relating to the accuracy and completeness of the information contained in the 2015 Prospectus. Warranty claims must be made by no later than 30 days after the date of the publication of the audited accounts of TP11 for the accounting year ending 2017. The liability of the Directors and each member of the Investment Management Team in respect of a breach of a warranty or representation is limited to £12,500 each. TP11 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 arise under the 2015 Offer Agreement.

  • 14.3 The investment management and administration agreement and supplemental amendments relating thereto, the terms of which are summarised on pages 8 to 10.
  • 14.4 The Directors' letters of appointment referred to in paragraph 6.12 above.

15 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On 30 June 2015 TP11 announced the disposal of a number of its solar portfolio investments. TP11's solar portfolio investments were realised through the receipt of payments in respect of TP11's loans and through the sale of its shares to Aphelion One Limited ("Aphelion"), a newly incorporated company that is beneficially owned by the partners of Triple Point. Before adjustments for the realisation of some assets and liabilities the amount payable by Aphelion was £442,231. Other than these disposals to Aphelion, the agreements referred to at paragraph 14 above and the offer agreement dated 15 October 2014 between TP11, the Directors, Howard Kennedy, Triple Point and the Investment Management Team, under which Howard Kennedy agreed to act as sponsor to the offer for subscription that was launched on 15 October 2014, there have been no related party transactions relating to TP11 during the period covered by the statutory accounts referred to in paragraph 20.1 below and up to the date of this document.

16. SPECIFIC DISCLOSURES IN RESPECT OF CLOSED ENDED FUNDS

  • 16.1 The Investment Manager intends to use the proceeds of the Offer in accordance with TP11's object of spreading investment risk and in accordance with the Investment Policy set out in Part 1. The Investment Policy is in line with the VCT Rules and TP11 will not deviate from them to any material extent.
  • 16.2 TP11 is required to comply with VCT Rules in respect of the investments it makes, as described in Part 1. TP11 has appointed Philip Hare & Associates LLP as its VCT status adviser. Philip Hare & Associates LLP will report to TP11 as a part of its annual reporting obligations.

  • 16.3 TP11 will not invest more than 15% of its gross assets in any single company, in accordance with the VCT legislation, nor will TP11 control the companies in which it invests in such a way as to render them subsidiary undertakings until it has obtained approval as a VCT from HMRC.
  • 16.4 TP11 will not conduct any trading activity which is significant in the context of its group (if any) as a whole.

  • 16.5 The Board must be able to demonstrate that it will act independently of the Investment Manager. A majority of the Board (including the Chairman) must not be directors, employees, partners, officers, or professional advisers of or to the Investment Manager or any company in the Investment Manager's group or any other investment entity which they manage.
  • 16.6 TP11 will not invest directly in physical commodities.
  • 16.7 TP11 will not invest in any property collective investment undertaking.
  • 16.8 Other than as provided for under the Investment Policy, TP11 will not invest in any derivatives, financial instruments, money market instruments or currencies other than for the purposes of efficient portfolio management (i.e. solely for the purpose of reducing, transferring or eliminating investment risk in the underlying investments of the collective investment undertaking, including any technique or instrument used to provide protection against exchange and credit risks).
  • 16.9 The Investment Manager is responsible for the determination and calculation of the NAV of TP11 on a quarterly basis.
  • 16.10 The NAV of the A Share Fund, the B Share Fund and the Venture Fund will be determined quarterly, concurrent with the annual announcement to 28 February, half-yearly announcement to 31 August (which are expected in May and October respectively) and interim management statements to 31 May and 30 November respectively in accordance with the BVCA's recommendations as set out in the BVCA notes of guidance. The value of investments will be determined according to their listing status. Quoted securities will be valued at the bid price unless

the investment is subject to restrictions or the holding is significant in relation to the share capital of a small quoted company, in which case a discount may be appropriate as per the BVCA guidelines. Unquoted investments will be valued on a cost basis in the first year and reviewed subsequently on the basis of the progression of the businesses. The NAV of TP11 will be communicated to Shareholders via a Regulatory Information Service provider at the same frequency as the determinations. In the event of any suspension, valuations are held at the suspended price and a view is taken with consideration to best market practice and information from advisers.

16.11 The Directors do not anticipate any circumstances arising under which the valuations may be suspended. Should the valuations be suspended or the determination of NAV differ from that set out above, then this will be communicated to Shareholders through a Regulatory Information Service provider.
