Update on Proposed Merger

Keydata Income VCT 1 plc and Keydata Income VCT 2 plc Merger Update The Boards of Keydata Income VCT 1 plc ("Keydata 1") and Keydata Income VCT 2 plc ("Keydata 2") today announce that, after many months finalising the proposed merger between the boards of Keydata 1, Keydata 2 and Foresight VCT plc ("Foresight") and the regulatory matters required to implement the transaction, we are able to announce that we expect the merger documentation to be ready to be dispatched to all Keydata 1 and Keydata 2 shareholders shortly. These documents will set out to all Shareholders all relevant information and provide an opportunity and sufficient notice to attend the EGM expected to be held in February 2011. If the vote for merger is approved, the timetable for implementing the merger is expected to be February 2011, with Shareholders receiving their Foresight shares during March 2011 at the latest. This will be followed by an offer to all Foresight shareholders, including the "ex" Keydata 1 and Keydata 2 Shareholders to participate in an enhanced buyback scheme.  Full details are expected to be supplied in the documentation which will be sent out shortly. It is important to stress that in spite of the delays caused by the complexity of the merger, the development of the waste wood to energy plant in Derby continues to schedule.  Several of the other VCTs managed by Foresight Group (''the Investing VCTs'') have committed to invest £3 million, in aggregate, towards the completion of the Derby Project. Of this commitment, £1.5 million was invested by way of loans and equity securities by the Investing VCTs on 23 December 2010 and the balance of the commitment is contingent on the merger taking place. Further details will be included with the merger documentation.
