2016/2017 (the "Offers"), (which was launched on 29 November 2016) took
place on 31 January 2017.
Pursuant to the Prospectus, the Company offered a 1% discount on issue
costs to existing shareholders and 0.5% discount on issue costs to new

participating in the Offers. The cost of these discounts is being borne
by the Manager, Albion Ventures LLP.
The Company has received applications for 1,516,754 New Ordinary shares
at an issue price of 71.9 pence per share from existing shareholders and
542,522 New Ordinary shares at an issue price of 72.3 pence per share
for new subscribers, both of which qualified for the early bird
discount. A further 4,695,695 New Ordinary shares will be allotted at an
issue price of 72.6 pence per share. The net proceeds for this allotment
by the Company are approximately GBP4,758,000.
Application has been made to the Financial Conduct Authority for
6,754,971 New Ordinary shares to be admitted to the Official List and to
the London Stock Exchange for the New Ordinary shares to be admitted to
trading on the London Stock Exchange's market for listed securities. The
New Ordinary shares rank pari passu with the existing shares in issue.
It is expected that admission will become effective, and that dealings
in the shares will commence on or before 8.00 a.m. on 2 February 2017.
The Offers constitute separate offers made by each of the Albion VCT's
which are participating in it. As at this closing on 31 January 2017, in
total, the amount raised across the Albion VCTs under the Offers was
GBP25,295,000 (of which GBP1,185,000 relates to tax year 2017/2018) and

Ordinary shares with a nominal value of 1 penny each. The Company holds

Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is
