Issue of Equity and Total Voting Rights

Crown Place VCT PLC (the "Company") announces that, further to the Dividend Reinvestment Scheme introduced by the Company (details of which were set out in the Circular issued to shareholders on 26 February 2009), the Company today allotted 194,845 Ordinary shares of 10p each (the "New Ordinary shares") in the capital of the Company.  The New Ordinary shares were issued at a price of 30.99p, comprising the net asset value at 31 December 2012 less the dividend of 1.25 pence per Ordinary share. 

Accordingly, application has been made to the UK Listing Authority for the admission of the New Ordinary shares to the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities and it is expected that dealings will commence on 3 April 2013. The New Ordinary shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary shares in issue.

Following the issue of the New Ordinary shares, Crown Place VCT PLC's capital as at 28 March 2013 consists of 88,146,717 Ordinary shares of which 8,794,410 Ordinary shares are held in Treasury.

Therefore the total number of voting rights in Crown Place VCT PLC is 79,352,307 which may be used by 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, Crown Place VCT PLC under the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency rules.
