A prospectus relating to offers for subscription by Maven Income and Growth VCT PLC, Maven Income and Growth VCT 3 PLC, Maven Income and Growth VCT 4 PLC and Maven Income and Growth VCT 5 PLC (together the "Companies" and each a "Company") to raise up to, in aggregate, £40,000,000 including over-allotment facilities for up to, in aggregate, £20,000,000 through the issue of new ordinary shares of 10p each in the capital of the Companies (each an "Offer" and together the "Offers"), was issued by the Companies on 27 September 2024 (the "Prospectus").

The Companies have also published a joint Circular (the "Circular") seeking the approval of their respective shareholders for various matters, including obtaining shareholder approval of allotment and disapplication authorities in connection with the Offers and each Company giving notice of a General Meeting to be held on 14 November 2023 (the "General Meeting").

The Offers will open on 27 September 2024 and are expected to close no later than 5 April 2025 for shares to be allotted in the 2024/25 tax year, and no later than 1 May 2025 for shares to be allotted in the 2025/26 tax year (unless fully subscribed by an earlier date or previously extended by the directors to no later than 26 September 2025).

Each Offer is conditional on the passing of certain resolutions at the relevant General Meeting as set out in the Circular.

Pursuant to individual offer agreements dated 27 September 2024 relating to the Offer between, among others, the Companies and Maven Capital Partners ("Maven"), Maven, in exchange for providing administration services and endeavouring to procure subscribers in connection with the Offer, will receive a fee of up to 2.5% of the aggregate amount received by the Companies from subscribers under the Offer.
