The Board of Close Brothers AIM VCT is pleased to announce that on 4 April 2005
a further 8,852,109 New 'D' Shares were allotted under the Offer for
Subscription.  The Offer has raised in total £15 million before expenses which
includes one final allotment to be made at the commencement of the 2005/2006 tax
year and, as previously announced, is now closed.  There are now 16,083,072 'D'
Shares currently in issue.

Dealings in the further 8,852,109 New 'D' Shares allotted in respect of the
Offer are expected to commence on 6th April 2005.  The New 'D' Shares rank pari
passu in all respects with the existing 'D' Shares save that the first dividend
the New 'D' Shares will be entitled to will be the interim dividend in respect
of the period ending 31st August 2005.  As announced on 6 January 2005, the New
'D' Shares have been issued in accordance with the Pricing Formula referred to
in the Prospectus dated 25th October 2005.  The Pricing Formula in respect of
the current allotment is based on the unaudited net asset value of a 'D' Share
on 1 April 2005 of 114.52p per 'D' Share divided by 0.95, to allow for issue
costs of 5 per cent, rounded up to the nearest half pence per share.  This
produced an issue price per New 'D' Share, in respect of the current allotment,
of 121p.
