BARONSMEAD VCT 2 PLC
RESULT OF GENERAL MEETING HELD ON 28 JANUARY 2016
General Meeting
Further to the proposals in respect of the recommended merger of Baronsmead VCT 2 plc (the "Company") with Baronsmead VCT plc ("BVCT") and an offer for subscription to raise up to £10 million which were announced on 11 January 2016, at a general meeting of the Company's shareholders held today, the resolutions approving the proposals were passed.
It should be noted that the scheme for the reconstruction and winding up of Baronsmead VCT plc under section 110 of the Insolvency Act 1986 (the "Scheme") remains conditional on, amongst other conditions, the passing of the special resolution to be proposed at the second general meeting of BVCT's shareholders convened for 8 February 2016. The Scheme will not become effective unless this resolution is passed.
A copy of the resolutions passed at the General Meeting will shortly be available for inspection via the National Storage Mechanism.
