The first allotment for the 2021/2022 tax year
of new ordinary shares of nominal value 1 penny per share ("New
Shares") in Albion Enterprise VCT PLC (the “Company”) under the
Albion VCTs Prospectus Top Up Offers 2021/22 (the “Offers”), (which
was launched on 6 January 2022) took place on 25 February 2022.
Pursuant to the Prospectus, the Company offered
an early bird discount of 1% on issue costs to existing
shareholders and 0.5% on issue costs to new subscribers. These
early bird discounts were available to investors who subscribed for
New Shares for the first £10m received by 2 p.m. on 25 February
2022 across the six VCTs participating in the Offers. The cost of
these discounts is being borne by the Manager, Albion Capital Group
LLP. The issue pricing of the New Shares has been calculated to
avoid any capital dilution to existing shareholders who do not
participate in the Offers.
The Company has received valid applications for
973,740 New Shares which will be allotted at an issue price of
131.70 pence per share from existing shareholders and 317,042 New
Shares allotted at an issue price of 132.40 pence per share for new
subscribers, both of which qualified for the early bird discount. A
further 7,806,927 New Shares will be allotted at an issue price of
133.00 pence per share (which did not qualify for the early bird
discount). The total net proceeds receivable by the Company for
this allotment is approximately £11.8 million.
Application has been made to the Financial
Conduct Authority for 9,097,709 New Shares to be admitted to the
Official List and to the London Stock Exchange for the New Shares
to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's market for
listed securities. The New Shares rank pari passu with the existing
shares in issue.
The record date in respect of the dividend of
3.22 pence per share paid on 28 February 2022 was 4 February 2022,
and as a result, the New Shares did not qualify for this
dividend.
It is expected that admission to the Official
List will become effective and that dealings in the New Shares will
commence within three Business Days following allotment.
The Offers which constitute separate offers
remain open to new valid applications for the Company, as well as
for Crown Place VCT PLC, Albion Development VCT PLC and Albion
Technology & General VCT PLC. As at 25 February 2022, the total
amount raised across the six VCTs under the Offers is £68.9 million
(of which £64.5 million relates to this tax year 2021/2022). The
Offers are expected to close no later than 2 p.m. on 30 September
2022 (unless fully subscribed by an earlier date or previously
closed).
Following this allotment and in conformity with
the provisions of DTR 5.6, we make the following notifications in
connection with the issued share capital of the Company:
The Company's capital as at 25 February 2022
consists of 94,988,795 ordinary shares with a nominal value of 1
penny each. The Company holds 11,641,941 ordinary shares in
Treasury.
Therefore, the total number of voting rights in
the Company is 83,346,854, which may be used by shareholders and
other persons as the denominator for the calculations by which they
will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or
a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's
Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
