25 NOVEMBER 2025

NORTHERN VENTURE TRUST PLC

ISSUE OF EQUITY AND TOTAL VOTING RIGHTS

Northern Venture Trust PLC (“the Company”) announces that on 25 November
2025 it allotted 25,320,192 ordinary shares of 25p each in respect of the
offer of new ordinary shares for subscription in the 2025/26 tax year,
pursuant to the prospectus published on 17 September 2025 (the
“Prospectus”). In accordance with the Pricing Formula set out in the
Prospectus, the new ordinary shares were issued at prices between 62.00 pence
per share and 65.59 pence per share depending on the level of Promoter’s Fee
and Adviser Charge (if applicable) pertaining to each application.

The aggregate of the subscription amounts paid to the Company pursuant to the
Offer, net of applicable fees and Adviser Charges, was £15,369,746.55.
Following the above allotment, the Company now has 242,245,342 ordinary shares
in issue.

An application will be made at the earliest practicable opportunity for the
new ordinary shares, which will rank pari passu with the existing ordinary
shares, to be admitted to the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority
(“the FCA”) and to trading on the London Stock Exchange’s market for
listed securities, and dealings are expected to commence on or around 2
December 2025.

In conformity with the FCA’s Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules (the
“DTRs”), the Company notifies the market that the capital of the Company
consists of 242,245,342 ordinary shares with a nominal value of 25p each. All
the ordinary shares have voting rights. The Company does not hold any ordinary
shares in treasury. The total number of voting rights in the Company is
therefore 242,245,342 (“the Figure”). The Figure may be used by a
shareholder or other person as the denominator for the calculations by which
they will determine if they are required to notify the voting rights they hold
in relation to the Company, or a change to those voting rights, under the
DTRs.

Defined terms in this announcement have the same meaning as in the Prospectus.
