LINKED OFFER
During the quarter the Linked Offer launched in November 2010 with two other Matrix advised VCTs, has raised a further £2.91 million of net funds. 2,521,910 Ordinary Shares were allotted at a price of 121.8 pence per share in the quarter. On 10 May 2011 a further 302,300 Ordinary Shares were allotted at 119.5 pence per share.
The Board expects that one further allotment under this Offer will occur in early July. The underlying NAV per share to be used will therefore be 112.90p (115.90p as above less the 3p dividend to be paid on 24 June 2011) giving an offer price of 119.50p per share.
SHARE BUY-BACKS
The Company bought back 139,952 of its own Ordinary Shares at a price of 101.5 pence per share on 19 May 2011.
