The NAV per share fell by 8.50 pence over the quarter, principally due to the payment of an interim dividend of 9.00 pence per share in the quarter, referred to below.

 

DIVIDENDS

The Company paid an interim capital dividend of 9.00 pence per share for the year ending 31 December 2017 on 13 September 2017.

 

The Board has today declared a second interim dividend of 4.00 pence per share for the year ending 31 December 2017. The dividend will be paid on 8 December 2017 to Shareholders on the Register on 24 November 2017. Once paid, this will bring cumulative dividends paid per share to date to 108.8 pence and reduce the NAV per share reported above to 70.08 pence per share.

 

FUNDRAISING

On 6 September 2017, the Company launched a joint fundraising Offer alongside the other three Mobeus advised VCTs. Due to strong demand, the Company has utilised its over-allotment facility which has increased the maximum offer size to £25 million in respect of the Company (£80 million in aggregate across the Mobeus advised VCTs).

 

Including the allotments already made, the total cumulative value of applications received on behalf of the Company to date is £15.1 million.

 

Further details of the Offer are set out in the Prospectus, which was made available on 6 September 2017 and can be viewed on the Mobeus website at www.mobeusequity.co.uk/vct-investors/fundraising .

 

INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

 

New Investments

There were two new investments during the period.

 

On 5 July 2017, £2.10 million held in Manufacturing Services Investment Limited, a company preparing to trade, and £0.65 million from the Company's cash resources, was invested into B2C (Holdings) Limited (trading as Wetsuit Outlet), a leading online retailer in the water sports market (www.wetsuitoutlet.co.uk).

 

A follow on loan of £0.14 million was advanced to MPB Group Limited, a leading online marketplace for used camera and video equipment (www.mpb.com).

 

Realisations

The Company realised one investment in the period for cash proceeds of £6.12 million. This was the very successful sale of the Company's investment in Entanet Holdings Limited to CityFibre Infrastructure Holdings plc. These proceeds were fully reflected in the NAV of the Company at 30 June 2017. This realisation contributed to a return of 2.5 times the original investment cost and an Internal Rate of Return of 39% in the three and a half years that this investment was held. Deferred consideration of up to £0.63 million may be payable in due course.

 

Including the loan stock repayments of £0.30 million referred to below, net cash proceeds for the period amounted to £6.42 million.

 

LOAN STOCK REPAYMENTS

A total of £0.30 million was received in loan stock repayments during the quarter to 30 September 2017, from TPSFF Holdings Limited (formerly the Plastic Surgeon Holdings Limited).

 

Two further loan stock repayments of £0.16 million were received from TPSFF Holdings Limited after the quarter-end.

 

SHARE BUY-BACKS

As announced previously, on 7 July 2017 the Company purchased 85,754 of the Company's own ordinary shares at a price of 71.25 pence per share, for cancellation.
