THE BIOTECH GROWTH TRUST PLC 
 
                                (the "Company") 
 
                    MARKET PURCHASE OF COMPANY'S OWN SHARES 
 
Notification is given, pursuant to the authority granted at the Annual General 
Meeting of the Company held 12 July 2016 to make market purchases of the 
Company's own shares up to an aggregate maximum of 8,754,920 that a market 
total of 86,989 Ordinary shares of 25p each in the capital of the Company were 
purchased on Friday, 21 October 2016 for cancellation by the Company at a price 
of 691.06 pence per share. 
 
Following this transaction and in conformity with the provisions of the 
Transparency Directive, the Company hereby notifies the market that the total 
number of Ordinary shares that the Company has in issue, less the total number 
of Ordinary shares bought back for cancellation by the Company following such 
purchase, and therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 
56,397,708. The Company does not currently hold any Ordinary shares in 
treasury. 
 
The figure of 56,397,708 may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the 
calculation by which they may determine if they are required to notify their 
interest in, or change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's 
Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
