THE BIOTECH GROWTH TRUST PLC
(the
"Company")
MARKET PURCHASE OF
COMPANY’S OWN SHARES
Notification is given, pursuant to the authority granted at the
Annual General Meeting of the Company held 11 July 2019 to make market purchases of the
Company’s own shares up to an aggregate maximum of 7,131,979 that a
market total of 200,195 Ordinary shares of 25p each in the capital
of the Company were purchased today for cancellation by the Company
at a price of 943.40 pence per
share.
Following this transaction and in conformity with the provisions
of the Transparency Directive, the Company hereby notifies the
market that the total number of Ordinary shares that the Company
has in issue, less the total number of Ordinary shares bought back
for cancellation by the Company following such purchase, and
therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is
42,325,726. The Company does not currently hold any Ordinary shares
in treasury.
The figure of 42,325,726 may be used by shareholders as the
denominator for the calculation by which they may determine if they
are required to notify their interest in, or change to their
interest in, the Company under the FCA’s Disclosure Guidance and
Transparency Rules.
