INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

For the quarter ended 30 June 2021

The Income & Growth VCT plc presents an Interim Management Statement for the quarter ended 30 June 2021. The statement also includes relevant financial information between the end of the period and the date of this statement.

NET ASSET VALUE AND TOTAL RETURN PER SHARE

The NAV per share has increased by 7.48 pence in the quarter (an increase of 7.9% upon the opening NAV per share). This positive performance is principally due to a continued rise in unrealised portfolio valuations.

Proposed change in management arrangements

As announced by the Company via RNS on 10 September 2021, Mobeus Equity Partners LLP (Mobeus), the investment adviser to the Company has announced the sale of its VCT fund and investment management business to a subsidiary of Gresham House plc (Gresham House). As part of the sale, the Board has agreed to the novation of the investment advisory arrangements from Mobeus to Gresham House subject to completion of the sale. Gresham House is a fast growing, specialist fund group, with a long-term commitment to the VCT industry and is the existing investment manager of the Baronsmead Venture Trust plc and Baronsmead Second Venture Trust plc (the Baronsmead VCTs). The entire core management, investment and operational teams involved with the Mobeus VCTs will all transfer to Gresham House in connection with this transaction to form a significantly enlarged team that will manage both the Mobeus VCTs and the Baronsmead VCTs. The Board can confirm that no material changes are being made to the terms of the investment advisory arrangements. Shareholders can also be assured that the Board's track record of governance and independence will be maintained.

The Board declared an interim dividend of 5.00 pence per share for the year ending 30 September 2021. This dividend was paid to Shareholders on 23 July 2021 who were on the Register on 25 June 2021 and brings cumulative dividends paid per share to 136.50 pence per share, and also reduces the Company's Net Asset Value by a corresponding amount.
