Baronsmead Venture Trust plc - Director Resignation

The Board of Baronsmead Venture Trust plc (the 'Company') announces that
Susannah Nicklin, Senior Independent Director, has informed the Board of her
intention to step down as a Non-Executive Director of the Company with effect
from 30 June 2024 due to an increase in her other work commitments. Susannah
is also Chair of the Nomination Committee.

Susannah has been a Director since February 2018 and before that was a
Director of Baronsmead VCT plc from May 2014 to February 2016. Her insight and
dedication to the Company have been of significant value to the Company as
well as our predecessor sister Company over the past ten years. The Board will
miss her and would like to thank her for her input and expertise and wish her
continued success in her other ventures.

 

Commenting on today's announcement, Fiona Miller Smith, the Company's Chair,
said:

"On behalf of the Board I would like to thank Susannah for the outstanding
contribution she has made to the Company during her time on the Board."

Susannah Nicklin said: "It has been a privilege to serve as a director of the
Company and its predecessor. VCTs are an important engine of innovation, jobs
and economic value creation in the U.K. and I am confident that the Company's
strategy of supporting the very best early-stage companies on their growth
journeys will continue to reward shareholders."

The selection process for a replacement Non-Executive Director is underway and
an announcement of a successor will be made in due course. In the meantime,
the Board has nominated Michael Probin as Senior Independent Director with
effect from 30 June 2024 and Fiona Miller Smith will become Chair of the
Nomination Committee with effect from the same date.

This notification is made in accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.11R(3).
