As an alternative, this document provides you with key information about this investment product. It is not marketing material. It helps you understand the nature and risks of this product and compare it with other products. Other documents are available to help you understand the potential gains and losses of this product. # What are the risks and what could I get in return? The risk indicator assumes you keep the product for 5 years. If you sell your product earlier you may have to sell at a price that significantly impacts how much you get back. 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 money because of movements in the markets or because we are not able to pay you. We have classified this product as 5 out of 7, which is a medium risk class. This suggests the risk from market movements is medium. However, the summary risk indicator only reflects historic share price volatility of the Company shares based on historic price. It excludes other risks inherent in the product and, therefore, does not show the full risk to the investor. This product does not include any protection from future market performance, so you could lose some or all of your investment. The Company may (from time to time) invest in unlisted equities which have valuation and performance uncertainties and liquidity risk. The ‘Other relevant information’ section gives more detail on the risks investors should consider. Lower risk Higher risk ## 7654321 # What is this product? This product is an Investment Trust Company quoted and traded with a Premium Listing on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange. The Company's objective is to provide capital appreciation through investment in a portfolio of smaller companies principally based in countries bordering the North Atlantic Ocean. The Company will pursue its investment objective by investing in both listed and unquoted companies. The Manager targets undervalued shares in companies where it believes operational, strategic or management changes are occurring, or can occur, which could realise, create and unlock shareholder value. Page 2 of 4 # What are the costs? # What happens if the Company is unable to pay out? The Company is not required to make any payment to you in respect of your investment. If the Company was liquidated, you would be entitled to receive a distribution equal to your share of the Company’s assets, after payment of all of its creditors. As a shareholder you would not be able to make a claim to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, or other compensation or guarantee scheme, in the event that the Company is unable to pay out. If you invest in the Company, you should be prepared to assume the risk that you could lose some or all of your investment. KID cost disclosures are no longer required for these shares. The information provided below has been amended to help consumer understanding. It now recognises that there is no additional cost to the investor charged by the Company. The Company does have operating expenses, for example, arising in relation to the management of the portfolio. The person selling you or advising you about the Company may charge you costs (which may include broker commission, platform fees, advisory fees and/or stamp duty). If so, this person will provide you with information about these costs, and show you the impact that all costs will have on your investment over time. In purchasing the Company ordinary shares, as with shares in listed companies more generally, there should be no additional costs paid by you other than those mentioned above. As a listed company, the Company's operating costs are disclosed in its Statement of Comprehensive Income within its Annual Report and Financial Statements, which is available on the Company's website www.nascit.co.uk. The Association of Investment Companies (AIC) has recommended that investment trusts also disclose an Ongoing Charges Figure (OCF). Ongoing charges are the Company’s annualised expenses (excluding finance costs and certain non-recurring items) expressed as a percentage of the average monthly net assets of the Company during the year as disclosed to the London Stock Exchange. Performance fees are excluded from the calculation. The most recent OCF figure for the year ended 31 January 2024 was 1.18%. For the avoidance of doubt, the OCF is not an additional cost paid by shareholders to the Company. Where applicable, the table below shows the amounts that are taken from your investment to cover different types of costs. These amounts depend on how much you invest, how long you hold the shares and how well the Company does. The amounts shown here are illustrations based on an example investment amount of £10,000 and different possible investment periods. Where applicable, the Reduction in yield (RIY) shows what impact the total cost you pay will have on the investment return you might get. The Company’s share price already reflects market sentiment of its value taking into consideration publicly disclosed information on expenses, which are already disclosed in the Annual Report and Financial Statements and other public disclosures.

Other factors that may affect the return include stock-specific factors (including those relating to the sustainability of the business model of investments). Global, and regional, political, and macroeconomic events such as Brexit, high interest rates, supply chain issues, or labour shortages can all be expected to lead to market volatility. What could affect my return positively? Factors that are likely to have a positive impact on returns include market increases in sectors and regions invested in, and the narrowing discount or higher premium attached to the Company’s share price relative to its Net Asset Value. What could affect my return negatively? Factors that are likely to have a negative impact on returns include market falls in sectors and regions invested in, and the widening discount or reduced premium attached to the Company’s share price relative to its Net Asset Value. If a shareholder decides to sell their shares under severely adverse market conditions, they may get back less than the amount initially invested. Page 3 of 4 # What are the costs? (continued) The table below shows the impact each year of the different types of costs on the investment return you might get at the end of the recommended holding period and the meaning of the different cost categories. # How long should I hold it and can I take money out early? Recommended required minimum holding period: 5 years The product has no required minimum holding period but is designed for medium to long-term investment. The recommended minimum holding period of 5 years has been selected as the Company's ordinary shares are designed to be held over the long term and may not be suitable as short-term investments. There is no guarantee that any appreciation in the value of the Company's investments will occur and investors may not get back the full value of their investments. The value of the ordinary shares and the income derived from them (if any) may go down as well as up. Although the ordinary shares are traded on the Main Market, it is possible that there may not be a liquid market in the shares and investors may have difficulty selling them. Accordingly, investors may be unable to realise their shares at the quoted market price (or at the prevailing net asset value per share), or at all. There are no additional fees or penalties incurred on exit however the price you receive on the open market may not reflect the underlying Net Asset Value (“NAV”) of the shares.
