INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT
For the quarter ended 30 June 2025
Gresham House Income & Growth 2 VCT plc (formerly Mobeus 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
| At 30 June 2025 (unaudited) | At 31 March 2025 (unaudited) |
Net assets attributable to shareholders | £179.18 million | £182.47 million |
Shares in issue | 330,080,671 | 322,556,994 |
Net asset value (NAV) per share | 53.79 p | 54.87 p |
Cumulative dividends paid | 172.30 p | 170.30 p |
Cumulative Total return (net asset value basis) per share since inception | 226.09 p | 225.17 p |
The NAV per share has decreased by 1.08 pence in the quarter. This decrease was principally due to a dividend payment of 2.00 pence per share paid on 11 April 2025 which was 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 0.92 pence, or 1.7% during the quarter.
