ISSUE OF EQUITY

On 10 February 2016 Baronsmead VCT 5 plc (the "Company") announced an offer for subscription for new ordinary shares of 10p each in the Company to raise up to GBP3,850,000 (before issue costs) (the "Offer"). The Company announced that the Offer had become fully subscribed on 19 February 2016.

The Company announces the allotment of 4,497,526 New Shares has taken place today at an offer price of 85.60p per share (the "Offer Price") pursuant to the Offer. In accordance with the terms of the Offer, the Offer Price at which the New Shares have been issued has been calculated by dividing the Company's latest published Net Asset Value of 82.94p as at 29 February 2016 by 0.97 in accordance with the pricing formula set out under the Offer.

The New Shares rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares.

Application has been made to the UK Listing Authority for the New Shares to be admitted to the Premium Segment of the Official List and to the London Stock Exchange for such New Shares to be admitted to trading on its main market for listed securities. It is expected that admission to the Official List will become effective and that dealings in the New Shares will commence on 16 March 2016. Definitive share certificates are expected to be dispatched within ten business days of allotment.

Each Ordinary Share has one voting right. Following the issue of New Shares pursuant to the Offer, the Company will have 61,698,902 Ordinary Shares in issue (of which 4,632,296 are held in treasury). The total number of voting rights in the Company will therefore be 57,066,606 and this figure may be used by Ordinary Shareholders 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 Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
