INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

For the quarter ended 30 June 2025

Gresham House Income & Growth VCT plc (formerly The Income & Growth VCT plc) presents an Interim Management Statement for the quarter ended 30 June 2025. The statement also includes relevant financial information between the end of the period and the date of this statement.

NET ASSET VALUE AND TOTAL RETURN PER SHARE

The NAV per share has decreased by 1.29 pence in the quarter. This decrease was principally due to a dividend payment of 2.50 pence per share paid on 11 April 2025 partially offset by an increase in the unrealised valuation of the portfolio. Adjusting for the dividend payment on a total return basis, the NAV per share increased by 1.21 pence, or 1.8% during the quarter.
