Unicorn AIM VCT Announces £50m Special Dividend and Enlarged Fundraising After Hasgrove Exit

The latest update is out from Unicorn AIM VCT ( (GB:UAV) ).

Unicorn AIM VCT plc has declared a £50 million special dividend, equivalent to 23.0p per ordinary share, following the profitable sale of its holding in Hasgrove Ltd, from which it realised £88 million in proceeds and reinvested £22 million into Maia TopCo Ltd to retain exposure to Hasgrove’s future growth. The dividend will be paid on 5 March 2026 to shareholders on the register on 23 January 2026, and alongside this capital return the board is expanding its planned equity fundraising to up to £35 million through an enlarged share offer, encouraging use of its Dividend Reinvestment Scheme ahead of forthcoming reductions in the VCT tax credit and signalling ongoing active capital management with the possibility of further special dividends from remaining Hasgrove proceeds.
