BARONSMEAD VCT 5 PLC

(IN MEMBERS' VOLUNTARY LIQUIDATION)

RESULT OF GENERAL MEETING HELD ON 30 NOVEMBER 2016

Further to the proposals for the reconstruction and winding up of Baronsmead VCT 5 plc (the "Company") which were announced on 17 October 2016, the special resolution placing the Company into members' voluntary liquidation to permit the implementation of the scheme of reconstruction and winding up of the Company under section 110 of the Insolvency Act 1986 (the "Scheme") was duly passed at the General Meeting held today.

For the purposes of the Scheme, the aggregate value of the total net assets of the Company is GBP42,952,438. Under the terms of the Scheme, the number of New Shares in Baronsmead Second Venture Trust plc ("BSVT") to be issued to Shareholders is based on the adjusted Net Asset Value of a BSVT Share (the "FAV per BSVT Share") and the adjusted Net Asset Value of an Ordinary Share (the "FAV per BVCT5 Share") as at close of business on 28 November 2016. The FAV per BSVT Share was 90.67 pence and the FAV per BVCT5 Share was 76.05 pence. Accordingly, Shareholders will receive approximately 0.838803 New Shares under the Scheme for every BVCT5 Share held by them.

Share certificates in respect of New Shares issued in certificated form are expected to be sent to Shareholders during the week commencing 12 December 2016 (or as soon as practicable thereafter).

The Company confirms that the listing of the Company's ordinary shares on the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and the trading in the Ordinary Shares on the main market of the London Stock Exchange will be cancelled with effect from 8.00 a.m. on 2 December 2016.

A copy of the resolution passed at the General Meeting will shortly be available for inspection via the National Storage Mechanism.
