Sales or Transfers

Transferring your Shares

If you would like to transfer your shares please fill out the Stock Transfer Form and return it together with your share certificate to our Registrar, City Partnership (UK) Limited. If you have any questions please contact City Partnership by email or call 01484 240 910. Please note Stamp Duty may apply.

Selling your Shares

If you would like to sell your shares please instruct your stockbroker to contact the VCTs broker Panmure Gordon. The VCT does not buy back shares directly from investors but has a buyback policy through the London Stock Exchange. A precis of the buyback policy is as follows.

The Company has from time to time bought back its Ordinary Shares for cancellation. The Board will agree the price at which such buybacks are undertaken which will not be more than 95.0% of the last published NAV for the Ordinary Shares although the Board may decide to buy back shares at their discretion at a larger discount subject to VCT regulations, liquidity and the Listing Rules.

Shareholders are reminded that the VCT’s ability to conduct share buybacks will depend on VCT qualifying conditions and/or the sufficiency of the cash and distributable reserves required for the VCT to purchase its own shares. Restrictions imposed by the VCT regulations have impacted distributions recently and, while this issue is expected to be temporary as further distributable reserves are expected to become available for distribution under the VCT rules on 5 April 2024 and 5 April 2025, may continue to do so over the next 18 months.

Risk Warnings

Your capital is at risk. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

Shares may trade at a discount to their net asset value. The value of an investment can fall as well as rise and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. Therefore you should only make plc investments which you can afford to lose without having any significant impact on your overall financial position or commitments.

Prospective investors are recommended to seek specialist independent tax and financial advice before investing in the VCT. Tax reliefs available are dependent on individual circumstances and the VCT maintaining HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) approval. Tax treatment and qualifying criteria may be subject to change in future.

As a VCT shareholder, you do not have the right to complain to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) about the management of the VCT. You would not be able to make a claim to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) about the VCT in the event that the VCT found itself unable to pay out.

Prospective investors must refer to the applicable Offer Document / Prospectus, in particular the section headed “Risk Factors”, when considering an investment in the Company.
