It is currently envisaged that there will be at least two allotments of shares pursuant to the Offer before the end of the 2025/2026 tax year, on or around 6 March 2026 and 2 April 2026 (or, if earlier, following full subscription), and thereafter at the discretion of the Board.

Listing and commencement of dealings is expected to take place three business days following allotment.
Prospective investors should note that applications elected to be made in the 2026/2027 tax year will result in the allotment of shares pursuant to the Offer after 5 April 2026, from which point the amount of upfront income tax relief available to prospective investors on subscription for shares will be on 20% (and not 30%) of the amount subscribed as announced in the 2025 Autumn Budget. Prospective investors should further note that applications elected (in whole or part) for the 2025/2026 tax year which are received on or before 12.00 noon on 2 April 2026 where payment is not received by 12.00 noon on 2 April 2026 will be deemed to be revoked (in whole or part, as relevant).
