Announcement of Intention to Utilise Over-Allotment Facility and Offer Update

The Board of Baronsmead Venture Trust plc (the "Company") announced on 10
January 2025 that the Company, together with Baronsmead Second Venture Trust
plc, had published a prospectus (the "Prospectus") in relation to offers for
subscription to raise up to £30 million in aggregate with the discretion to
utilise over-allotment facilities to raise up to a further £20 million in
aggregate (the "Offers" and each an "Offer"). Full details of the Offer are
contained in the Prospectus dated 10 January 2025.

The Board is pleased to announce that valid applications have been received
for over £13 million under the Company's Offer and therefore the initial
amount is likely to be fully subscribed for shortly. Accordingly, based on
investor demand, the Board announce that they intend to utilise the full
Over-allotment Facility of up to £10 million in respect of the Company's
Offer.

The first allotment of shares in respect of valid applications accepted by the
Company took place on 20 February 2025. The next scheduled allotment date is
3 April 2025.  As stated in the Prospectus, the third allotment will only
take place if the Offer is not fully subscribed by 3 April 2025 and the Board
decides to extend the period of the Offer.

All capitalised terms used and not defined herein shall have the same meaning
as in the Prospectus.
