Share buy-backsIt remains the Board’s policy to buy back shares in the market, subject to the overall constraint that such purchases are in the Company’s interest, including the maintenance of sufficient resources for investment in existing and new portfolio companies and the continued payment of dividends to shareholders.
It is the Board’s intention for buy-backs to be at around a 5% discount to net asset value, so far as market conditions and liquidity permit.
Material events and transactions after the period endThe Company paid a dividend of 1.77 pence per Ordinary share on 31 October 2025 to shareholders on the register on 3 October 2025. The Company issued the following Ordinary shares of nominal value 1 penny per share under the dividend reinvestment scheme:
| Date | Number of shares issued | Issue price per share | Net consideration received £’000 |
| 31 October 2025 | 1,376,604 | 68.93 pence | 949 |
On 23 October 2025, the Company announced the publication of its prospectus for the Albion VCTs Top Up Offers 2025/26 as detailed in the Fundraising section above.
In November 2025, the Company disposed of its holding in The Evewell Group for initial proceeds of £5.4 million, representing a 2.8x return on cash invested (including interest and dividends received) with the potential to return 3.2x through an earnout.
There have been no other material events or transactions after the period end to the date of this announcement.
Autumn Budget & VCT LegislationFollowing the Chancellor’s Autumn Budget announcement on 26 November 2025, the Government will modernise the VCT scheme by doubling the asset and investment limits for VCTs. We welcome this change; a move Albion Capital has long campaigned for. This amendment reflects the reality of scaling a business in 2025 and will allow us to back our most successful portfolio companies for longer, potentially driving greater capital value growth within the portfolio.
Simultaneously, the Government has also announced that from 6 April 2026, upfront income tax relief on new VCT investments will be reduced from 30% to 20%. We recognise that the reduction in tax relief is disappointing, and we will therefore contribute to the Government’s call for evidence making the case that this change should be reversed.
