CHANGE OF ALLOTMENT DATE

On 25 November 2023 Baronsmead Venture Trust plc (the "Company") published a prospectus (the "Prospectus") in relation to offers for subscription to raise up to £15 million in aggregate with the discretion to utilise over-allotment facilities to raise up to a further £10 million in aggregate (the "Offers" and each an "Offer"). Approximately £6 million as been subscribed to the Company's Offer to date.

In order to protect the interests of both existing shareholders and subscribers to the Company's offer, the Board has decided to change the date of the first allotment of shares which was due to be on 11 January 2024. As set out in the Prospectus, the allotment price will be based upon the most recently published net assest value ("NAV"). As the most recently published NAV was the unaudited NAV as at 30 November 2023, the Board and the Investment Manager are working to establish a more up to date NAV to reflect any material market movements that may have taken place since then. An announcement will be released to the London Stock Exchange prior to the revised date of the first allotment, which is anticipated to be Friday, 26 January 2024.

In order to be allotted shares in the revised first allotment, applications via cheque will need to be received by 19 January 2024 and applications via bank transfer by 23 January 2024. As a result of this change to the allotment date, the deadline for the early bird offer as set out on page 45 of the Prospectus, will now also be extended to 23 January 2024, subject to cleared funds being received by the Receiving Agent and to a maximum of £7.5 million.

The next scheduled allotment dates are 15 February 2024 and 28 March 2024. As stated in the Prospectus, the fourth allotment will only take place if the Offer is not fully subscribed by 3 April 2024. As set out in the Prospectus, the Board reserves the right to revise these dates, undertake additional allotments, close its Offer and / or extend its Offer.
