This dividend, once paid, will increase cumulative dividends paid since inception to 38.20 pence per share.

 

NEW INVESTMENT

In February 2014, the Company invested £1.37 million to support the MBO of Entanet International Limited, one of the UK's leading independent wholesale voice and data communications providers, using £1 million from the VCT's existing investment in the acquisition vehicle Ackling Management Limited. The Company also invested a further £1.82 million into two new acquisition investments in the period.

 

DIVESTMENTS

Following the period-end in April 2014, the VCT sold the remainder of its investment in MachineWorks Software Limited for net proceeds of £327k. The total proceeds received by the VCT over the life of this investment of £554k represents a return on investment of 4.1 times original cost of £135k.

  

LOAN STOCK REPAYMENTS

The VCT has received repayments from Westway Services Holdings (2010) Limited and Tessella Holdings Limited totalling £85k during the quarter to 31 March 2014 and £42k since the period end from Newquay Helicopters (2013) Limited.

 

SHARE BUYBACKS

During the quarter ended 31 March 2014, shareholders holding 200,000 ordinary shares in the Company expressed their desire to sell their investments. The Company instructed its brokers, Panmure Gordon, to purchase these shares at prices representing discounts of approximately 10% to the then prevailing announced NAV per share. The Company subsequently purchased these shares at a price of 104.5 pence per share and cancelled them.

During the quarter ended 31 March 2014, the Company issued and allotted a total of 4,590,160 ordinary shares in the Company at effective offer prices ranging from 120.28 to 130.10 pence per share, raising net proceeds of £5.41 million (after deducting initial costs).
