 Northern Venture Trust PLC ("Northern Venture Trust") announces the sale of
its investment in Kitwave One Limited ("Kitwave") to the Kitwave management

Allstate Investments. 
 
 Northern Venture Trust has received initial cash proceeds of £3.55 million
for its holding of ordinary shares and redeemable loan stock in Kitwave.  The
directors' valuation of the investment in Kitwave for the purposes of
calculating the unaudited net asset value as at 31 December 2015, which was
announced on 17 February 2016, was £3.33 million.  The uplift in Northern
Venture Trust's net assets resulting from the realisation is therefore £0.22

94,399,820 shares currently in issue. 
 
 Northern Venture Trust may, subject to future performance and tax claims,
become entitled to receive further sale proceeds of up to £0.49 million over
the period to December 2017.  These proceeds will be recognised in the
financial statements as and when received.
