FORESIGHT 3 VCT PLC
12 September 2016
Possible merger between Foresight 3 VCT plc ("F3") and Foresight 4 VCT
plc ("F4") (together the "Companies")
The boards of directors of the Companies announce that they have entered
into discussions regarding a possible merger of the Companies (the
"Merger"). If the Merger is to proceed the current intention is that it
will be effected pursuant to a scheme of reconstruction under s.110 of
the Insolvency Act 1986 by transferring the assets and liabilities of F3
to F4 in consideration for new F4 shares to be issued to F3 shareholders
on a relative net asset value basis. A merger solely on this basis would
be outside the provisions of The City Code on Takeovers and Mergers.
If the Merger proceeds it would be expected to achieve, amongst other
things, significant cost savings and administration efficiency through
the establishment of a single, enlarged VCT with net assets in excess of
GBP70 million. The proposed merger will be subject to the approval of
the shareholders of both Companies.
A further announcement will be made in due course.
