INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

For the quarter ended 31 March 2022

Mobeus Income & Growth 4 VCT plc presents an Interim Management Statement for the quarter ended 31 March 2022. The statement also includes relevant financial information between the end of the period and the date of this statement.

NET ASSET VALUE AND TOTAL RETURN PER SHARE

	At 31 March 2022 (unaudited)	At 31 December 2021 (audited)
Net assets attributable to shareholders	£93.72 million	£92.79 million
Shares in issue	91,259,644	83,389,721

Cumulative dividends paid	143.20 pence	139.20 pence

The NAV per share has decreased by 8.58 pence in the quarter (a decrease of 7.7% from the opening NAV per share). This decrease arises both from the 4.00 pence per share dividend paid in January 2022 as well as a fall in unrealised valuations.
