THIS ANNOUNCEMENT AND THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN IS NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE OR FORM A PART OF ANY OFFER TO SELL OR SOLICITATION OF AN OFFER TO PURCHASE OR SUBSCRIBE FOR SECURITIES IN THE UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA, CANADA, SOUTH AFRICA, JAPAN, ANY MEMBER STATE OF THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA (THE "EEA") OR ANY JURISDICTION IN WHICH IT WOULD BE UNLAWFUL TO DO SO.

Merian Chrysalis Investment Company Limited (the "Company")

Result of Capital Raise

Further to the announcement made by the Company on 28 September 2020, the Company today announces that it has successfully raised gross proceeds of GBP95 million pursuant to the Placing and the PrimaryBid Offer (together the "Issue").

The Board is pleased with the strong response to the Issue, with demand exceeding the initial target raise, which will enable the Company's Investment Adviser to use equity funding in executing the investment in You & Mr Jones LLC as announced on 1 October 2020, together with other pipeline and follow-on investments.

Accordingly, under the Issue an aggregate of 64,189,189 new Ordinary Shares have been issued and allotted conditionally upon admission at a price of 148 pence per Ordinary Share.

Applications have been made for the admission of 64,189,189 new Ordinary Shares to listing on the premium listing segment of the Official List and to trading on the Main Market of London Stock Exchange Group plc ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective and that dealings in the new Ordinary Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 9 October 2020.

Following Admission, the Company will have 400,931,613 Ordinary Shares in issue. Therefore, the total number of voting rights of the Company will be 400,931,613 and this figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest, or a change to their interest in, the Company.

Richard Watts, portfolio manager, commented:

"We are extremely grateful to our investors who have continued to support our efforts to build Merian Chrysalis into a significant crossover investor. The proceeds of this raise will primarily be used to fund our recently announced investment in You & Mr Jones, which we believe is a very exciting addition to the portfolio which diversifies our sector exposure."

Nick Williamson, portfolio manager, added:

"Our medium-term ambition for Merian Chrysalis is to build a company of substantial scale that will use realisations to become self-funding. While we expect NAV growth to be a significant contributor to this scaling process, this raise marks another step in this direction. We are confident that the net proceeds, post the You & Mr Jones investment, can be deployed in a timely manner into strong investment ideas."
