9 April 2010

                              Crown Place VCT PLC

                                Issue of Equity

Crown  Place VCT  PLC (the  "Company") announces  that, further  to the Dividend
Reinvestment  Scheme introduced by the Company (details of which were set out in
the  Circular  issued  to  shareholders  on 26 February 2009), the Company today
allotted  110,944 Ordinary shares of 10p each (the "New Ordinary Shares") in the
capital  of  the  Company.   In  accordance  with the Circular, the New Ordinary
Shares were issued at a price of 32.93p.

Accordingly,  application  has  been  made  to  the UK Listing Authority for the
admission  of the  New Ordinary  Shares to  the Official  List of the UK Listing
Authority  and to trading on the London  Stock Exchange's main market for listed
securities  and it is expected that dealings will commence on 12 April 2010. The
New  Ordinary Shares  will rank  pari passu  in all  respects with  the existing
Ordinary shares in issue.

Following the issue of the New Ordinary Shares the Company will have 79,320,524
Ordinary shares in issue.

In  conformity with  the Transparency  Directive's provisions  we would  like to
notify the market of the following:

Crown  Place  VCT  PLC's  capital  as  at  9 April 2010 consisted of 79,320,524
Ordinary  shares.  Crown  Place  VCT  PLC  holds  7,260,410 Ordinary  shares  in
Treasury.

Therefore the total number of voting rights in Crown Place VCT PLC is
72,060,114.

The  figure of 72,060,114 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, Crown  Place VCT PLC under the
FSA's Disclosure and Transparency rules.
