Disposal of Investment
Oxford Technology 2 VCT plc (LON:OXH) is pleased to announce that the
sale of OCR envisaged in the 2017 Annual Report has now completed.
Oliver Crispin Robotics Limited (and its subsidiary OCRobotics Ltd.)
"OCR", a company in which Oxford Technology 2 VCT plc originally
invested when the company was a start-up in 2001, has been sold to GE
Aircraft Engine Services Ltd.
OCR has developed a range of snake arm robots, robots in which the head
of the snake may be moved along a path and the rest of the snake then
follows the path taken by the head.
Oxford Technology 2 VCT plc invested GBP125,000 initially, and then made
additional investments over the years taking the total investment to
GBP310,860 by the date of the most recent annual accounts to 28 February
2017, when it was valued at GBP1,535,000.
Oxford Technology 2 VCT plc has received an initial payment of GBP1,356k,
with a further GBP327,500 being held in escrow for 24 months against
normal business warranties and an estimated GBP 98k of excess cash to be
released in 90 days. In line with OT2's normal practice, 50% of both the
amount in escrow and the estimated excess cash are being recognised in
the net asset value.
Oxford Technology 2 VCT plc will recognise an immediate realised value
of GBP1,569k, compared to the holding value of GBP 1,535k as at
28/02/2017 equating to 0.5 p/share gain, and it represents a 5 fold
uplift vs cost.

following the vote at the AGM regarding the proposed tender offer.
