Change of Auditor

Following a formal tender process, the Companies are pleased to announce the appointment of Johnston Carmichael LLP (Johnston Carmichael) as its new Auditor with effect from 4 October 2022. Johnston Carmichael will conduct the audit of each Company's financial statements for their current financial years, which are to 30 November 2022 for Maven VCT 3 and Maven VCT 5; 31 December 2022 for Maven VCT 4; and 28 February 2023 for Maven VCT. The appointment of Johnston Carmichael as Auditor for each Company's subsequent financial year will be subject to approval by Shareholders at their next respective Annual General Meetings, all to be held in 2023.

In accordance with Section 519 of the Companies Act 2006, the Company's previous Auditor, Deloitte LLP (Deloitte), has deposited a statement with each of the Companies of the circumstances connected with them ceasing to hold office as Auditor of the Companies (the Statement). Each Statement confirms that Deloitte resigned as Auditor of the relevant Company because they considered that the fee was uneconomic, given the effort required to conduct the audit. Copies of the Statements will be sent to every person who is entitled to receive a copy of each Company's Annual Reports and Financial Statements.

The Boards of the Companies wish to take this opportunity to extend their appreciation and gratitude to Deloitte for the services rendered to the Companies during its respective periods of tenure.
