Possible merger of the Albion VCTs

The boards of directors of the Albion VCTs announce that they have entered into discussions regarding possible mergers of the Albion VCTs (the "Mergers"). These discussions may or may not lead to an agreement to merge any of the Albion VCTs.

The proposed Mergers, if they were to proceed, would consist of AADV (Target VCT) merging into AAEV (Acquirer VCT), AAVC (Target VCT) merging into CRWN (Acquirer VCT) and KAY (Target VCT) merging into AATG (Acquirer VCT).

If the Mergers proceed they would likely be undertaken by way of a scheme of reconstruction under s.110 of the Insolvency Act 1986 whereby the assets and liabilities of the relevant target VCT are transferred to the relevant acquirer VCT in consideration for new acquirer VCT shares which are issued to the target VCT's shareholders on a relative net asset value basis. A merger solely on this basis would be outside the provisions of The City Code on Takeovers and Mergers.

If the Mergers proceed they would require formal approval from the shareholders of the Albion VCTs. If the Mergers are approved it is expected to achieve, amongst other things, cost savings, administration efficiency and simplicity for the enlarged acquirer VCTs.

A further announcement will be made in due course.
