Enhanced Buyback Facility

UNICORN AIM VCT PLC Enhanced Buyback Facility The Board of Unicorn AIM VCT plc ("the Company") is pleased to announce that the Company's enhanced buy-back facility as set out in the circular to shareholders of the Company dated 22 February 2013 ("Enhanced Buyback Facility") has now closed. All correctly completed applications in respect of the Enhanced Buyback Facility (i.e. both shareholders' basic entitlement and, where elected, additional shares tendered) have been accepted in full and, as a result, there has been no scaling back of applications. The Company has today purchased 7,365,558 ordinary shares of 1 pence each ("Shares") at a price of 108.5 pence per share and allotted 7,141,491 new Shares at 111.9 pence per share pursuant to the Enhanced Buyback Facility. The new Shares rank pari passu in all respects with the existing share capital of the Company. Application has been made to the UK Listing Authority and the London Stock Exchange for the new Shares to be admitted to the Official List and to trade on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities. It is expected that admission will become effective and dealings will commence on or around 8 April 2013. As a result, of the buyback and allotment of shares undertaken today pursuant to the Enhanced Buyback Facility there are now 56,770,336 Shares in issue. The above figure 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, the Company under the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
