It is not marketing material. The information is required by law to help you understand the nature, risks, costs, potential gains and losses of this product and to help you compare it with other products. # Product Name: North Atlantic Smaller Companies Investment Trust PLC (“the Company”) ISIN: GB0006439003 PRIIP Manufacturer: North Atlantic Smaller Companies Investment Trust PLC Contact number: 020 7640 3200 Competent authority: The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) Date of Production 23/10/2023 # 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. # 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. ## 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Higher risk Lower risk Page 1 of 3 Investment performance information In addition to the factors outlined in the Investment Objective, within the 'What is this product?' section. 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. # 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. # What are the costs?

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. # How can I complain?
