As at 30 September 2011, the unaudited NAV of an Ordinary Share (taken from the Company’s Half-<br />

Yearly Report to that date) was 109.6p. The Company Merger Value (had the merger been completed<br />

on that date and calculated in accordance with this Part II) would have been 109.1p.<br />

The number of New Ordinary Shares that would have been issued to <strong>Foresight</strong> Clearwater Shareholders<br />

(had the merger been completed on that date and calculated in accordance with this Part II, but taking<br />

into account the number of <strong>Foresight</strong> Clearwater Shares in issue as at the date of this document) would<br />

be 1,432,440 (0.825433 New Ordinary Share for every <strong>Foresight</strong> Clearwater Share held).<br />

Additional Information on the Schemes<br />

The New Shares to be issued pursuant to the Schemes will be issued directly to Target <strong>VCT</strong>s’<br />

Shareholders pro-rata to their existing holdings (disregarding the shares held by dissenting Target <strong>VCT</strong>s’<br />

Shareholders) on the instruction of the Liquidators.<br />

Entitlements will be rounded down to the nearest whole number and any fractional entitlements (which<br />

will not exceed £1.50) will be sold in the market and the proceeds retained for the benefit of the Enlarged<br />

Company.<br />

Where Target <strong>VCT</strong>s’ Shareholders hold their shares in certificated form, they will receive a new<br />

certificate for the New Shares issued pursuant to the Schemes and existing certificates will no longer be<br />

valid. Where Target <strong>VCT</strong>s’ Shareholders hold their shares in uncertificated form, their CREST accounts<br />

will be credited with the replacement holding in New Shares.<br />

Dividend payment mandates provided for holdings in the Target <strong>VCT</strong>s will, unless a Target <strong>VCT</strong>s’<br />

Shareholder advises otherwise in writing to Computershare Investor Services <strong>PLC</strong>, be transferred to the<br />

New Shares.<br />

An application has been made to the UKLA for the New Shares to be listed on the premium segment of<br />

the Official List and will be made to the London Stock Exchange for such New Shares to be admitted to<br />

trading on its market for listed securities. From the date of issue, the New Shares issued pursuant to the<br />

Schemes will rank pari passu with the existing issued Shares (save for any class rights).<br />

The Liquidators will offer to purchase the holdings of dissenting Target <strong>VCT</strong>s’ Shareholders at the break<br />

value price of the relevant Target <strong>VCT</strong> Share (as applicable), this being an estimate of the amount a<br />

holder of such shares would receive in an ordinary winding-up of that Target <strong>VCT</strong> if all of the assets of<br />

the Target <strong>VCT</strong> had to be realised. Due to <strong>Foresight</strong> 5 and Acuity 3’s investments being in unquoted<br />

companies for which there are not generally readily available purchasers, the break values of all of the<br />

shares of <strong>Foresight</strong> 5 and Acuity 3 are expected to be significantly below the unaudited net asset values<br />

of such shares. The break value in respect of the <strong>Foresight</strong> Clearwater Shares is expected to be<br />

materially the same as the unaudited net asset value of such shares. However, all Target <strong>VCT</strong>s’<br />

Shareholders should also be aware that a purchase by the Liquidators will be regarded as a disposal for<br />

HMRC purposes, thereby triggering the payment of any capital gains tax deferral or any upfront income<br />

tax relief (assuming such shares have not been held for the minimum five year holding period) received<br />

on the original subscription. The break value received may not be sufficient to cover the amount of<br />

payment due.<br />

If the conditions for a Scheme, as set out above, have not been satisfied by 29 February 2012, then that<br />

Scheme shall not become effective and the relevant two companies will continue in their current form<br />

(but subject to the implementation of the other Schemes) and the boards of the relevant two companies<br />

will continue to keep the future of their respective company under review.<br />

Each Scheme is not conditional on the other Schemes and will proceed independently and irrespective<br />

of the other Schemes.<br />
