   Issue of Equity and Total Voting Rights and Capital 
 
   ALBION DEVELOPMENT VCT PLC 
 
   LEI Code 213800FDDMBD9QLHLB38 
 
   The first allotment for the 2019/2020 tax year of new ordinary shares of 
nominal value 1 penny per share in Albion Development VCT PLC (the 
"Company") under the Albion VCTs Prospectus Top Up Offers 2019/20 (the 
"Offers"), (which was launched on 22 October 2019) took place on 31 
January 2020. 
 
   Pursuant to the Prospectus, the Company offered an early bird discount 
of 1% on issue costs to existing shareholders and 0.5% on issue costs to 
new subscribers. These early bird discounts were available to investors 
who subscribed for new shares for the first GBP10m by 2 p.m. on 31 
January 2020 across the five VCTs participating in the Offers. The cost 
of these discounts is being borne by the Manager, Albion Capital Group 
LLP. The issue pricing of the new shares has been calculated to avoid 
any capital dilution to existing shareholders who do not participate in 
the Offers. 
 
   The Company has received valid applications for 1,843,797 new ordinary 
shares which will be allotted at an issue price of 84.8 pence per share 
from existing shareholders and 401,498 new ordinary shares allotted at 
an issue price of 85.3 pence per share for new subscribers, both of 
which qualified for the early bird discount. A further 6,789,082 new 
ordinary shares will be allotted at an issue price of 85.7 pence per 
share (which did not qualify for the early bird discount). The total net 
proceeds receivable by the Company for this allotment is approximately 
GBP7.6m. 
 
   Application has been made to the Financial Conduct Authority for 
9,034,377 new ordinary shares to be admitted to the Official List and to 
the London Stock Exchange for the new ordinary shares to be admitted to 
trading on the London Stock Exchange's market for listed securities. The 
new ordinary shares rank pari passu with the existing shares in issue. 
 
   It is expected that admission will become effective, and that dealings 
in the shares will commence on or before 8.00 a.m. on 3 February 2020. 
 
   The Offers which constitute separate offers have been fully subscribed 
and all have been closed to further applications.  The total amount 
raised across the Albion VCTs under the Offers is GBP34m (of which 
GBP32.5m relates to this tax year 2019/2020). 
 
   Following this allotment and in conformity with the provisions of DTR 
5.6, we make the following notifications in connection with the issued 
share capital of the Company: 
 
   The Company's capital as at 31 January 2020 consists of 102,862,682 
ordinary shares with a nominal value of 1 penny each. The Company holds 
10,350,156 ordinary shares in Treasury. 
 
   Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 
92,512,526, which may be used by shareholders and other persons 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, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency 
Rules.
