Restatement of dividends following capital reorganisation

Dividend payment amounts from inception up until 26 October 2006 have been re-stated following a capital reorganisation in October 2006. 

 

Dividend Investment Scheme

The Scheme provides shareholders with the opportunity to reinvest their cash dividends into new shares in the VCT. New VCT shares attract the same tax reliefs as shares purchased through an Offer for Subscription.  The Scheme was suspended on 14 August 2018.

Please note that the Company decided to recommence the Scheme effective from 2 June 2020.

As part of the Board’s consideration to recommence the Scheme, it carried out a review of the Scheme Rules and made certain amendments as set out below:

KEY CHANGE: to amend the price at which new shares will be issued under the Scheme to the latest published net asset value per existing share, as is the current market practice, rather than, as previously, at the higher of 70% of the net asset value per share or the mid-market price per share (which, in practice, resulted in shares being issued at an effective discount to net asset value per share of 10%). The other changes are largely procedural updates in nature.

 

Existing Participants (joined prior to 16 April 2020):

Existing participants of the Scheme will shortly be receiving notice of the proposed changes to the Scheme Rules, which will take effect on 2 June 2020 (this being the date of recommencement) and will apply to all dividends paid by the Company after that date.

Existing participants who wish to continue participating in the Scheme do not need to take any action.

If participants would like to withdraw from the Scheme they must give notice in writing to the Scheme Administrator (Corporate Actions Department, Link Asset Services, The Registry, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent BR3 4TU) in accordance with the provisions of the Scheme Rules.

 

New Participants (joined from 16 April 2020 onward):

Any new participants of the Scheme will be subject to the new Scheme Rules (see below).

Shareholders can elect to join the Scheme by sending their mandate forms (see below) by post to the Scheme Administrator -

telephone: 0371 664 0324. Calls are charged at the standard geographic rate and will vary by provider. Calls from outside the United Kingdom are charged at the applicable international rate.

Objective

The Objective of the Company is to provide investors with a regular income stream by way of tax-free dividends and to generate capital growth through portfolio realisations which can be distributed by way of additional tax-free dividends, while continuing at all times to qualify as a VCT.

Investment policy

The Investment Policy is designed to meet the Company’s objective:

Investments

The Company invests primarily in a diverse portfolio of UK unquoted companies. Investments are made selectively across a number of sectors, principally in established companies. Investments are usually structured as part loan stock and part equity in order to produce a regular income stream and to generate capital gains from realisations.

There are a number of conditions within the VCT legislation which need to be met by the Company and which may change from time to time. The Company will seek to make investments in accordance with the requirements of prevailing VCT legislation.

Asset allocation and risk diversification policies, including the size and type of investments the Company makes, are determined in part by the requirements of prevailing VCT legislation. No single investment may represent more than 15% (by VCT tax value) of the Company’s total investments at the date of investment.

Liquidity

The Company’s cash and liquid funds are held in a portfolio of readily realisable interest bearing investments, deposit and current accounts, of varying maturities, subject to the overriding criterion that the risk of loss of capital be minimised.

Borrowing

The Company’s articles of association permit borrowings of amounts up to 10% of the adjusted capital and reserves (as defined therein). However, the Company has never borrowed and the Board would only consider doing so in exceptional circumstances.
