British Smaller Companies VCT2 plc (the "Company")
Payment of Dividend and Allotment of Shares
The Company announces that on 11 January 2023 it paid a special
dividend for the year ending 31 December 2023 of 2.25 pence per
ordinary share to shareholders on the register of members of the
Company as at the record date of 18 November 2022 (the "Special
Dividend").
The Company further announces that on 11 January 2023 it issued
and allotted 1,427,418 ordinary shares of 10 pence each pursuant to
its dividend re-investment scheme ("DRIS") at a price of 56.55
pence per ordinary share to shareholders of the Company who elected
to receive ordinary shares instead of the Special Dividend. The
subscription price of 56.55 pence per ordinary share was determined
in accordance with the terms and conditions of the DRIS on the
basis of the net asset value of 60.3 pence per ordinary share as at
30 September 2022 (adjusted for the second interim dividend of 1.5
pence per ordinary share paid on 3 October 2022 and the Special
Dividend of 2.25 pence per ordinary share paid today). As a result,
20 per cent of the Special Dividend paid by the Company was
re-invested in ordinary shares in the Company via the DRIS.
In this allotment the employees and members of the Manager, YFM
Private Equity Limited, have been allotted 5,229 ordinary shares of
10 pence each in the Company, bringing their aggregate total
holding to 437,798 ordinary shares.
Application is now being made for the ordinary shares which were
issued and allotted as set out above to be admitted to the premium
segment of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority and
to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market for listed
securities, and dealings are expected to commence on or around 25
January 2023.
Following such issue and allotment the Company's issued share
capital consists of 182,896,128 ordinary shares of 10 pence each
with voting rights ("Voting Capital") and 18,666,812 ordinary
shares of 10 pence each held in treasury.
The above statement of Voting Capital may be used by
shareholders 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 and Transparency Rules.
