The boards of British Smaller Technology Companies VCT Plc and British Smaller
Technology Companies VCT 2 Plc (the 'Boards') announce that they are in
discussion regarding the possible merger of their respective Companies, whose
investment advisers are YFM Private Equity Limited.
This follows the introduction of the Venture Capital Trust (Winding Up and
Mergers) (Tax) Regulations in September 2004 permitting VCT mergers without loss
of tax relief to either set of shareholders.
The Boards believe that a merger would achieve a number of benefits including
reduced management and administration costs for the combined entity and an
increase in the range and diversity of the investment portfolio and hence an
improved spread of risk.
The respective Net Asset Values will be used as the basis for the merger.
At this stage, there can be no certainty that a merger of the two VCTs will be
effected nor as to the terms on which any such merger might be effected. A
further announcement will be made when appropriate.
