Pursuant to the Prospectus, the Company offered a 1% discount on issue costs to existing shareholders and 0.5% discount on issue costs to new subscribers. This early bird discount was available to investors whom subscribed for New Shares for the first £7.5m across the six VCTs participating in the Offers. The cost of these discounts is being borne by the Manager, Albion Ventures LLP.

The Company has received applications for 1,203,858 New Ordinary shares at an issue price of 70.4 pence per share from existing shareholders and 621,281 New Ordinary shares at an issue price of 70.7 pence per share from new subscribers, both of which qualified for the early bird discount. A further 3,549,732 New Ordinary shares are to be allotted at an issue price of 71.1 pence per share. The net proceeds for this allotment by the Company are approximately £3,707,000.

On the 30 January 2017 the Board announced that it had reached its £4m limit under its offer and therefore the offer was closed. A final allotment under the offer will be made in the new tax year for applications relating to tax year 2017/2018.

Application has been made to the Financial Conduct Authority for 5,374,871 New Ordinary shares to be admitted to the Official List and to the London Stock Exchange for the New Ordinary shares to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's market for listed securities. The New Ordinary shares rank pari passu with the existing shares in issue.

It is expected that admission will become effective, and that dealings in the shares will commence on or before 8.00 a.m. on 2 February 2017.

The Offers constitute separate offers made by each of the Albion VCT's which are participating in it. As at this closing on 31 January 2017, in total, the amount raised across the Albion VCTs under the Offers was £25,295,000 (of which £1,185,000 relates to tax year 2017/2018).

The Company's capital as at 31 January 2017 consists of 74,258,445 Ordinary shares with a nominal value of 1 penny each. The Company holds 6,556,700 Ordinary shares in Treasury.
