RNS Number : 1650Y Blackfinch Spring VCT PLC 02 September 2022
2 September 2022
Blackfinch Spring VCT plc (the "Company")
Publication of Prospectus and Circular
The Company has issued a prospectus dated 2 September 2022 (the "Prospectus"),
relating to a proposed offer for subscription of ordinary shares of 1p each in
the Company ("Shares") to raise up to £20 million with an over-allotment of
up to a further £10 million (the "Offer"), and a circular (the "Circular") in
connection with the Offer, following approval from the Financial Conduct
Authority.
The Circular includes a notice of a general meeting to be held on 7 October
2022 (the "General Meeting").
Pursuant to an agreement dated 2 September 2022 relating to the Offer between,
inter alia, the Company and Blackfinch Investments Limited, the Company's
investment manager (the "Manager"), the Manager will receive:
· an initial charge of 2.5 per cent. of the gross funds raised under
the Offer by the Company; and
· a further charge of up to 3 per cent of gross funds raised under the
Offer by the Company from investors who have not invested their money through
a financial intermediary ("Direct Investors");
As the Manager is the Company's investment manager and, therefore, a related
party of the Company under the Listing Rules, the payment of the above fees by
the Company to the Manager is a transaction to which Listing Rule 11.1.10R
applies. Accordingly, the Offer is conditional on shareholders passing
Resolutions 1 to 3 at the General Meeting.
The Offer will open on 2 September 2022 and will close at 3pm on 3 April 2023
for the 2022/2023 tax year and 3pm on 23 August 2023 for the 2023/2024 tax
year, or earlier if the Offer is fully subscribed. The board of the Company
reserves the right to close the Offer earlier.
The prospectus and circular will shortly be available for inspection at the
National Storage Mechanism, which is located at:
