Downing ONE VCT (GB:TV1) has released an update.

Downing ONE VCT has announced a strategic merger with Thames Ventures VCTs to form a larger entity, Foresight Ventures VCT plc, with a net asset base of approximately £121 million, aimed at reducing annual costs and enhancing capital-raising capabilities. The merger includes an offer for the subscription post-merger and will see TV2 dissolved, with its assets and liabilities transferred to TV1, resulting in greater economies of scale and operational efficiencies.
