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 on 16 July 2026 to make market purchases of the
Company's own shares up to an aggregate maximum of 2,864,231 that a market total
of 100,000 Ordinary shares of 25p each in the capital of the Company were
purchased today for cancellation by the Company at a price of 1373.18 pence per
share.
Following this transaction, 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
18,539,477. The Company does not currently hold any Ordinary shares in treasury.
The figure of 18,539,477 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.
