Updates on Northern 3 VCT PLC Offer Initiatives
Northern 3 VCT PLC, along with its partners Northern Venture Trust PLC and Northern 2 VCT PLC, is embracing an exciting opportunity for investors. This comes alongside the recent publication of a prospectus that outlines upcoming offers for new ordinary shares aimed at the 2025/26 tax year. Due to the rising interest in the company's shares, Northern 3 VCT PLC has decided to make effective use of its over-allotment facility, which could raise an additional £6.0 million, hence providing more incredible opportunities for its current and prospective shareholders.
Process and Benefits for Existing Shareholders
The application process for new shares will follow a “first-come, first-served” principle. In appreciation of their continued support, existing shareholders of any of the Northern VCTs who were registered as of mid-June will receive a notable benefit. Those who apply will enjoy a 0.5% reduction on their offer costs, a small yet significant gesture to acknowledge their loyalty.
Effective Period for the Offer
Investors should note that these offers will remain open until noon on March 31, 2026, unless they fill up earlier, or at the discretion of the Directors, who can choose to close the offers at any point in time. For those interested in being part of the first allotment scheduled for November 25, applications must be fully funded and submitted by the close of business on November 19, 2025.
