Albion Venture Capital Trust PLC

Albion Venture Capital Trust PLC Prospectus Top Up Offer 2017/2018

Albion Venture Capital Trust PLC, which invests solely in asset-based
businesses, has decided to suspend its offer until it is clearer as to what
categories of investment by VCTs will be permitted in the future.

This decision was made in light of ongoing discussions in respect of
investment in asset-based businesses following publication in August 2017 by
HM Treasury of the consultation document 'Financing growth in innovative
firms'.

It is anticipated that changes arising out of the consultation are likely to
be made in the Autumn Budget, which is expected in late November or early
December.

The Prospectus Top Up Offers for the other five Albion VCTs, which have a
broader investment policy to include growth and technology companies, remain
open.
