The Companies announce that they have today published a Prospectus (comprising a Securities Note, Registration Document and Summary) in respect of an offer for subscription to raise up to £30,000,000 in aggregate by way of an issue of new ordinary shares in the Companies ("New Ordinary Shares"), with an over-allotment facility of up to a further £10,000,000 in aggregate (each Company raising a maximum of £20,000,000 including the over-allotment facility), payable in full in cash on application (the “Offer”).

The Offer opens on 6 November 2024 and will close not later than 5.00 p.m. on 3 April 2025 in respect of the 2024/2025 Offer and not later than 5.00 p.m. on 30 April 2025 in respect of the 2025/2026 Offer, or as soon as the Offer is fully subscribed.

The subscription price of the additional New Ordinary Shares to be received by early applicants will be met by Beringea LLP, the Companies' investment manager ("Beringea").

Pursuant to an agreement dated 6 November 2024 between, inter alia, the Companies and Beringea, Beringea will receive a fee (the "Fee") for acting as promoter of the Offer equal to three and a half (3.5) per cent. of the gross funds raised under the Offer from applications received directly from investors and three (3) per cent. of the gross funds raised under the Offer from applications received through a financial adviser or an execution-only broker. Out of the Fee Beringea will pay all costs, agreed between the Companies and Beringea, including charges and expenses, of or incidental to the Offer.

The board of each Company believes that the Fee is fair and reasonable as far as the shareholders of their respective Company are concerned and have been so advised by Howard Kennedy Corporate Services LLP, as sponsor to each Company.
