NORTHERN VENTURE TRUST PLC

ISSUE OF EQUITY AND TOTAL VOTING RIGHTS

Northern Venture Trust PLC (“the Company”) announces that on 4 September 2026 it allotted 890,347 ordinary shares of 25p each to shareholders who agreed to subscribe for shares under the terms of the Company’s Dividend Investment Scheme. The subscription price was 58.6p per share. Following the above allotment there are 260,216,609 ordinary shares in issue.

An application will be made at the earliest practicable opportunity for the new ordinary shares, which will rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares, to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange’s market for listed securities, and dealings are expected to commence on or around 11 September 2026.

In conformity with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority (the “DTRs”), the Company notifies the market that the capital of the Company consists of 260,216,609 ordinary shares with a nominal value of 25p each. All the ordinary shares have voting rights. The Company does not hold any ordinary shares in treasury. The total number of voting rights in the Company is therefore 260,216,609 (“the Figure”). The Figure may be used by a shareholder or other person as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify the voting rights they hold in relation to the Company, or a change to those voting rights, under the DTRs.
