21 JANUARY 2026

NORTHERN VENTURE TRUST PLC

ISSUE OF EQUITY AND TOTAL VOTING RIGHTS

Northern Venture Trust PLC (“the Company”) announces that on 21 January
2026 it allotted 911,392 ordinary shares of 25p each to shareholders who
agreed to subscribe for shares under the terms of the Company’s Dividend
Investment Scheme. The subscription price was 59.1p per share. Following the
above allotment there are 241,181,250 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 27
January 2026.

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 241,181,250 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 241,181,250 (“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.
