THE BIOTECH GROWTH TRUST PLC
(the
"Company")
MARKET PURCHASE OF
COMPANY’S OWN SHARES
Notification is given, pursuant to the authority granted at a
General Meeting of the Company held on 27
January 2020 to make market purchases of the Company’s own
shares up to an aggregate maximum of 6,127,729 that a market total
of 105,666 Ordinary shares of 25p each in the capital of the
Company were purchased today for cancellation by the Company at a
price of 907.15 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
39,426,711. The Company does not currently hold any Ordinary shares
in treasury.
The figure of 39,426,711 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.
