Update on Fundraising

On 17 September 2020 Baronsmead Venture Trust plc (the "Company") launched, in conjunction with Baronsmead Second Venture Trust plc, an offer for subscription (the "Offer") to each raise up to GBP20 million together with an over allotment facility to each raise up to a further GBP17.5 million (the "Over Allotment Facility").

The Directors have been advised that, on the basis of the subscription forms that have been received so far, the Company has raised the initial GBP20 million. Therefore, the Board has resolved that it is in the best interests of shareholders to utilise the Over Allotment Facility and subscriptions will be accepted to raise an additional GBP10 million, subject to the terms of the Offer. The Board will monitor the volume of subscriptions received from shareholders in relation to the Over Allotment Facility and the levels of investment activity and may release the remaining GBP7.5 million of new shares available under the Over Allotment Facility in due course.
