The New Ordinary shares were issued at a price of 80.8p, comprising the net asset value at 30 June 2012 less the dividend of 2.5 pence per Ordinary share.

Following the issue of the New Ordinary shares, Albion Technology & General VCT PLC's capital as at 31 October 2012 consists of 45,042,095 Ordinary shares and 4,341,070 shares in Treasury.
Therefore, the total number of voting rights in Albion Technology & General VCT PLC is 40,701,025 which may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, Albion Technology & General VCT PLC under the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
