LONDON - Puma AIM VCT plc announced Tuesday the publication of a prospectus for a share subscription offer to raise up to £20 million in capital, following approval from the Financial Conduct Authority.
The venture capital trust is seeking to raise an initial £10 million with provisions for an over-allotment of up to an additional £10 million. The offer opens immediately and is scheduled to close by April 2, 2026, for shares to be allotted in the 2025/26 tax year.
If extended by the company’s directors, the offer would remain open until September 2, 2026, for share allotments in the 2026/27 tax year, unless fully subscribed earlier.
Under the terms of an offer agreement dated September 9, 2025, Puma Investment Management Limited (PIML), which serves as both the offer’s promoter and the company’s investment manager, will receive a promoter fee of up to 3% of the total amount raised.
The company noted that this arrangement constitutes a related party transaction under UK Listing Rules. The board has confirmed it considers the transaction fair and reasonable for shareholders, supported by written confirmation from the company’s sponsor, Howard Kennedy Corporate Services LLP.
The prospectus has been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will be available for viewing online. Physical copies can be obtained from PIML’s London office.
The company’s board reserves the right to close the offer earlier than the stated dates, according to the press release statement.
