Directorate Change

Edge Performance VCT plc (the "Company")

Directorate and auditor changes

Further to the Corporate Update released to the market on 13 September 2019, the Company's board of directors ("Board") is pleased to announce the appointments of a new director and auditor.

The Company is pleased to announce that Sir Aubrey Brocklebank has been appointed to the Board as a non-executive director with effect from 11 November 2019.

Following a career in accountancy, corporate finance and venture capital, Aubrey assumed his first role within the VCT industry in 1997. Since then he has gone on to become one of the most experienced directors. Aubrey maintains a wide range of business interests and has been a director of six AIM listed companies. He is chairman of Downing Four VCT plc and Hargreave Hale AIM VCT plc.

The Board is pleased to announce the appointment of UHY Hacker Young as its new auditor.

The Board also announces that Lord Flight has informed the Board of his decision not to stand for election at the Company's general meeting to be held in February 2020.

Lord Flight had accepted an invitation earlier this year to re-join the Board to help complete the work of the Board to reduce the Company's running costs and introduce a strategy for the Company's future.  With the progress that is being made on both of these fronts, Lord Flight has decided that the February 2020 general meeting is the right time to stand down, particularly with the appointment of Sir Aubrey.

The Board wishes to express its gratitude for Lord Flight's significant contribution over several testing years for the Company and wishes him and wishes him all the best.
