Baronsmead VCT 4 PLC

Baronsmead VCT 4 plc
Proposed merger between Baronsmead VCT 3 plc and Baronsmead VCT 4 plc (the "Companies") and fundraising intentions
Introduction
Changes to the limits on the amount of funding which investee companies can receive from VCTs have removed the commercial advantage of having multiple Baronsmead VCTs. In addition, the amount of stamp duty that would be payable as a result of a merger has reduced significantly over the past 18 months. As a consequence, the boards of directors of both the Companies announce that they have entered into discussions regarding a possible merger of the Companies (the "Merger"). It is intended that the Merger would be effected on a NAV for NAV basis by way of a scheme of reconstruction under the Insolvency Act 1986.
Benefits to shareholders
The boards of the Companies believe that a Merger would be in the best interests of the shareholders of both Companies for the following reasons.
-- It would result in estimated annual costs savings for the merged company of around GBP300,000 per annum.
-- It would remove the duplication of communication with the many shareholders that are common to both Companies.
-- It would create a larger merged company with net assets of approximately GBP150 million which would potentially make it more attractive to private client wealth managers and may enhance the liquidity of the shares in the secondary market.
The proposal
It is proposed that the Merger would be effected by way of a scheme of reconstruction and the winding up of Baronsmead VCT 4 plc under section 110 of the Insolvency Act 1986 (the "Scheme"). Under the terms of the Scheme the assets of Baronsmead VCT 4 plc would be transferred to Baronsmead VCT 3 plc (the "Merged Company") in exchange for the issue of new shares in the Merged Company to the shareholders of Baronsmead VCT 4 plc on a NAV for NAV basis.
Timing
The boards expect to write to their respective shareholders with further details on the terms of the proposed Merger in January 2016. It is currently intended that, subject to shareholder approval, the Merger would become effective in February 2016.
Fundraising
Subject to shareholder approval of the Merger, it is proposed to launch an offer for subscription that would provide the Companies' existing shareholders with the opportunity, on a priority basis, to subscribe for new shares in the Merged Company in the 2015/16 tax year.
