Risk Indicator # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Lower risk Higher Risk The summary risk indicator is a guide to the level of risk of this product compared to other products. It shows how likely it is that the product will lose value because of adverse movements in the markets or poor investment performance . The summary risk indicator for this product is calculated using prescribed methodology. We have classified this product as 6 out of 7, which is the second -highest risk class. This rates the potential losses from future performance at a high level and suggests that adverse m arket conditions in future could lead to a significant loss in the value of your investment. The Board and the Manager seek to mitigate all these risks through various policies and procedures and further details regarding the risks applicable to this Compa ny may be obtained from the Company website and the annual report and accounts. Capital will be at risk as the value of investments may go down as well as up and is not guaranteed and therefore investors m ay not get back the amount originally invested. Past performance is not a guide to future performance. This product does not includ e any protection from future adverse market performance so you could lose some or all of your investment. Qualifying investors are entitled to rece ive back up to 30% (expected to reduce to 20% for subscriptions in VCT shares on and from 6 April 2026) of th eir investment for new shares subscribed from the Company via income tax relief. Any amount over this, and any additional return, depends on future market performance and is uncertain. However, this tax relief will be repayable to HMRC if you cash -in befor e five years. The risk indicator ass umes you keep the product for five years . The actual risk can vary significantly and if you sell at an early stage it is more likely that you will get back less than you originally invested . You may not be able to sell your shares easily or you may have to sell at a price that significantly impacts on how much you get back. Investment Performance Information What are the main factors likely to affect future returns? The main factors likely to affect future returns include: • Valuation - The net asset value (NAV) of the Shares and the return received by Shareholders will be dependent on the performance of the underlying investments. • Underlying Investments - Investment in unquoted companies by its nature involves a higher degree of risk than investment in companies quoted on a stock exchange. Small companies often have limited product lines, markets or financial resources and ma y be dependent for their managem ent on a small number of key individuals. • VCT and Taxation – Changes to the existing tax laws, regulations and legislations (or their interpretation), especially VCT rules, may occur during the life of the Company and such changes might affect investor returns. How does the target compare with performance and volatility? The Company targets a growth in total return per Share (i.e. NAV per Share plus cumulative dividends paid per Share) each yea r above a 5% target, together with the payment of annual ordinary dividends of at least 5% of the NAV per share per annum (based on the latest ! # !WHAT ARE THE RISKS AND WHAT COULD I GET IN RETURN? announced NAV per Share) . The ability of the Company to achieve its targeted growth, annual dividend and returns for the Company’s Shareholders will be dependent on the investment opportunities sourced and the performance of the underlying investments. What is the most relevant benchmark? No relevant benchmark is available as there is no single benchmark that adequately measures the performance of small, unquote d companies. What could affect my return positively? Increased business earning capacity of investee companies and e xternal factors such as economic growth, fiscal policy, regulations and political stability might positively affect returns. What could affect my return negatively? Any change of governmental, economic, fiscal, monetary or political policy, including government spending reviews, levels of unemployment, stock market volatility, consumer confidence, inflation and increases in the current level of interest rates could negatively affect the operation and performance of the Company and/or investee companies. What could happen under severely adverse market conditions? Although it is anticipated that the Shares will be admitted to the Official List of the FCA and traded on the London Stock Ex change’s main market for listed securities, it is likely that there will not be a liquid market as there is a limited secondary mar ket for VCT shares and investors may find it difficult to realise their investments. # WHAT HAPPENS IF FORESIGHT VCT PLC IS UNABLE TO PAY OUT? The Company is not required to make any payment to you in respect of your investment. As a Shareholder you have no access to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme and would not be able to make a claim to the FSCS about Foresight VCT plc. A default by the Company or an y of the underlying holdings could affect the value of your investment.

More detail can be found in the Company’s latest annual report and accounts. Carried interests n/a There are no carried interests . # HOW LONG SHOULD I HOLD IT AND CAN I TAKE MONEY OUT EARLY? RECOMMENDED MINIMUM HOLDING PERIOD: 5 YEARS You should be prepared to hold your shares for a minimum of five years in order to retain your initial income tax relief. If you sell your shares earlier, you will be required to repay any initial income tax relief you claimed. It is recommended that you hold your shares for more than five years, as VCTs are intended to have a long investment horizon. An investment in the Company should be considered as a long -term investment. The Company does not have a fixed winding up date and therefore, unless Shareholders vote to wind up the Company, you will only able to realise your investment through the market. You may sell your investments within the recommended holding period without a penalty fee, although any VCT tax reliefs will be forfeited and you will be required to repay any initial income tax relief you claimed. The Company’s share price is quoted on the London Stock Exchange so, provided there is a willing buyer, you may realise your investment through a stockbroker or share dealing account. VCT shares purchased in the secondary market do not qualify for initial income tax relief and there is, therefore, a limited number of buyers and it may take time to sell your VCT shares. The price you receive on the open market may therefore not reflect the underlying net asset value of the shares. The Company aims, but is no t committed, to offer liquidity to Shareholders through a share buyback policy, subject to cash availability, at a target discount agreed by the Board from time to time. The buybacks are conducted at the Board’s discretio n, therefore there are no guarantees that shares can always be sold on request. In line with regulations governing public companies, there are specific periods when buybacks are restricted , such as when the Company is preparing its annual and half -yearly reports and accounts. The secondary market for VCT shares is generally illiquid and you may find it difficult to realise your investment. # HOW CAN I COMPLAIN?
