SHARE BUYBACK PROGRAMME

 

London, 6 February 2026: HgCapital Trust plc ('HgT' or the 'Company') today
announces that it has engaged Deutsche Numis to conduct a
share buyback programme on its behalf (the 'Buyback Programme').

The Buyback Programme will be carried out under the existing shareholder
authorisation granted at the last Annual General Meeting, on 14 May 2025 (the
"AGM"), for purchases of Ordinary Shares by the Company in the market for up
to 14.99% of the Company's issued capital as at the AGM, being 68,613,502
Ordinary Shares. The Company intends, at its sole and absolute discretion and
subject to prevailing market conditions, to exercise this authority from time
to time pursuant to the Buyback Programme.

In line with the authority given at the AGM, the maximum price which may be
paid for each ordinary share must not be more than the higher of (i) 105% of
the average of the mid‑market values of the ordinary shares for the five
business days before the purchase is made or (ii) the higher of the price of
the last independent trade and the highest current independent purchase bid
for a share of HgT on the trading venues where the market purchases by HgT is
carried out.

Unless previously varied, revoked or renewed, the authority for the Company to
repurchase its own shares granted at the AGM will expire at the conclusion of
the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held in 2026 (save that the
Company may, prior to such expiry, enter into a contract to purchase Ordinary
Shares under such authority and may make a purchase of Ordinary Shares
pursuant to any such contract).

Any Ordinary Shares repurchased will be held in Treasury by the Company.

Any market purchase of Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Buyback Programme will
be announced no later than 7:30am (UK time) on the business day following the
day on which the purchase occurred.

The Company has appointed Deutsche Numis to manage an irrevocable,
non-discretionary instruction to continue the Company's Share Buyback
Programme during closed periods.
