Close of Offer to New Applications

The Board of Baronsmead Venture Trust plc (the "Company") announced on 24 November 2023 that the Company, together with Baronsmead Second Venture Trust plc, had published a prospectus (the "Prospectus") in relation to offers for subscription to raise up to £30 million in aggregate with the discretion to utilise Over-allotment Facilities to raise up to a further £20 million in aggregate (the "Offers" and each an "Offer"). Full details of the Offer are contained in the Prospectus as supplemented by the supplementary prospectus dated 19 January 2024.

On 2 February 2024, the Board announced that it intended to utilise the Over-allotment Facility and that Applications were being accepted to raise up to an additional £10 million available under the Over-allotment Facility.

The Board has been advised that, on the basis of valid Applications received, the Offer is now fully subscribed. Accordingly, the Offer is now closed to new subscriptions and no further Applications for New Shares will be accepted.

As announced previously, the third Allotment under the Offer is expected to take place on or around 28 March 2024.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Offer in respect of Baronsmead Second Venture Trust plc remains open.

Terms used in this announcement have the same meaning as defined in the Prospectus.
