6 June 2025
HARGREAVE HALE AIM VCT PLC
(the “Company”)
Allotment of Shares
The Board announced on 9 October 2024 that the Company had published a
prospectus (the “Prospectus") and had published a supplementary prospectus
(the “Supplementary Prospectus”) on 20 December 2024 in relation to an
offer for subscription of ordinary shares of 1p each (the "Ordinary Shares"),
to raise up to £20,000,000 (the "Offer"). On 6 June 2025, the Company
allotted 95,512 new Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Offer conditional only on
Admission (the timetable for which is set out in more detail below).
The offer price at which the 95,512 new Ordinary Shares were allotted was
37.01 pence per Ordinary Share, which was calculated, in accordance with the
terms of the Offer, by reference to the net asset value of an Ordinary Share
on 30 May 2025 (as announced on 3 June 2025, being the last published net
asset value per Ordinary Share) divided by 0.965 (to allow for the costs of
the Offer).
Application will shortly be made for the 95,512 new Ordinary Shares to be
admitted to the closed-ended investment funds category of the Official List of
the Financial Conduct Authority and to trading on the London Stock Exchange
plc’s main market for listed securities ("Admission"). It is expected that
Admission will occur and dealing will commence in the new Ordinary Shares on
or around 13 June 2025. When issued, the new Ordinary Shares will rank pari
passu with the existing Ordinary Shares.
As a result of the issue, the total number of Ordinary Shares in issue will be
371,982,460 with each Ordinary Share carrying one vote each. Therefore, the
total voting rights in the Company will be 371,982,460. This figure may be
used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by
which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or
a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the
Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
The new Ordinary Shares will be issued in registered form and may be held in
uncertificated form. Definitive documents of title are expected to be
dispatched within 15 business days of allotment. The new Ordinary Shares
will be eligible for settlement through CREST with effect from Admission.
Unless the context requires otherwise, terms defined in the Prospectus and
Supplementary Prospectus have the same meaning where used in this
announcement.
