Results of General Meeting and Merger Update

30 June 2022

The Board of Oxford Technology 4 VCT plc ("the Company or “OT4") is pleased to announce the resolution to approve the Company being placed in liquidation, appoint the liquidators and cancel the listing of the Company's shares, was duly passed on a show of hands and with 97.7% of proxy votes received being in favour (or at the chairman's discretion). Full details are shown below.

The general meeting of the Company held today was in connection with the merger of the Company with Oxford Technology 2 VCT plc ("OT2") by way of a scheme of reconstruction of the Company pursuant to Section 110 of the Insolvency Act 1986, whereby the Company will now be placed into members' voluntary liquidation and all of its assets and liabilities will be transferred by the appointed liquidators to OT2. Full details were contained in the Company's circular to shareholders ("Circular") dated 18 May 2022.

A copy of the resolution passed at the above meeting will shortly be available for inspection on both the Company's website (), as well as at the National Storage Mechanism ().

Accordingly, by way of implementation of the Scheme, the Company has been placed into members' voluntary liquidation and the assets and liabilities of the Company transferred to OT2 in consideration for the issue of new ordinary shares of 1p each in the new OT4 Share pool of OT2 ("OT4 Consideration Shares"). The total number of OT4 Consideration Shares issued to the Company's shareholders was 10,826,748. This figure is 5,000 less than the current total number of OT4 shares in issue, as one shareholder exercised his right to dissent.

Application will shortly be made for all the OT4 Consideration Shares issued to be admitted to the Official List and to trading on the main market of the London Stock Exchange. It is expected that admission of these Consideration Shares will become effective and that trading will commence on 1 July 2022. CREST accounts are also expected to be credited on 1 July 2022. Where OT4 shareholders held their shares in OT4 in certificated form, those certificates will cease to be of value and such shareholders will be issued with an identical number of OT4 Consideration Shares. Certificates for these Consideration Shares are expected to be dispatched by 15 July.

As part of the Scheme, the suspension of the listing of the Company's own shares took place at 7.30 a.m. today (30 June 2022) and the cancellation of these shares will take place with effect from 8.00 am on 8 July 2022 (being slightly earlier than originally anticipated in the Circular).

Full details of the voting were as follows:

Proxy votes were received in respect of 3,803,012 Ordinary Shares, representing 35.1% of the issued share capital as at 28 June 2022.
