Admission to AIM of Virgin Wines UK plc

The Board is pleased to announce that, this morning, Virgin Wines UK plc ("Virgin Wines"), an existing portfolio company, was admitted to trading on the Alternative Investment Market ("AIM") of the London Stock Exchange, alongside a placing of new and existing shares. The Placing Price of these shares was £1.97 per share, valuing Virgin Wines at a market capitalisation of £110m.  The Board and Mobeus Equity Partners LLP have been proud to partner the management of Virgin Wines in growing this business.  We continue to support Virgin Wines and its future development and are pleased to be retaining the Company's entire equity holding.

The Company holds 6,579,930 shares in Virgin Wines.  Based upon the Placing Price of £1.97 per share, the Company's investment in Virgin Wines is valued at £12.96 million and represents a significant uplift in valuation of £6.60 million, compared to that included in the Company's Net Asset Value ("NAV") per share at 31 December 2020.  In isolation, the impact of this uplift in valuation upon the Company's NAV per share as at 31 December 2020 of 79.17 pence is an increase of 5.58 pence per share.  The Company emphasises that this increase in NAV per share is in isolation from other changes in the Company's balance sheet, including valuation and other transaction movements in the Company's investment portfolio, that may also have affected the NAV per share since 31 December 2020.

As part of this transaction, the Company will receive payment of its remaining loan stock of £2.07 million, leaving Virgin Wines ungeared at that point.
