Share buy-backs
During the period from 1 April 2026 to 30 June 2026, the Company did not buy back any shares. After the period end to the date of this announcement, the Company bought back 2,740,368 ordinary shares at 106.58 pence per share.

It remains the Board's policy to buy back shares in the market, subject to the overall constraint that such purchases are in the Company's interest, including the maintenance of sufficient resources for investment in existing and new portfolio companies and the continued payment of dividends to shareholders.

It is the Board's intention for buy-backs to be at around a 5% discount to net asset value, so far as market conditions and liquidity permit.

Change of Registrar
The Company, alongside the other Albion VCTs, transferred its registrar services to The City Partnership (UK) Limited ("City") from 3 July 2026. A confirmation letter was sent to all shareholders, including details of how to access their shareholdings on City's online portal, The Hub.
