ViCTory VCT  plc ("ViCTory VCT") 
Appointment of Amati Global Investors Limited ("Amati") as Fund Manager 
In its Interim Management Statement, the ViCTory VCT board of directors 
("Board")announced its intention to appoint a new fund manager following a 
period of disappointing performance.  Having conducted a review of VCT managers, 
the Board invited a number of managers to present and is pleased to announce its 
decision to appoint Amati as the new fund manager effective from today's date. 
In January 2010 Dr Paul Jourdan and Douglas Lawson, together with the team 
directly involved in the day-to-day running of Noble AIM VCT plc, formed a new 
firm to acquire Noble Fund Managers Limited which was then renamed Amati Global 
Investors Limited.   Amati currently manages both the Noble AIM VCT plc and the 
CF Noble UK Smaller Companies Fund, originally a First State Investments OEIC 
fund which Paul Jourdan has managed since 2000. 
Noble AIM VCT plc has been, and continues to be, one of the best performing AIM 
VCTs to have floated in the 2004/2005 tax year.  The Board believes that the 
Amati approach of using the non-qualifying portion of the VCT's investments to 
broaden and extend the range of the qualifying portfolio to include a portfolio 
of small and mid-sized companies will add value.   The recent strategy of Noble 
AIM VCT plc has been to direct the non-qualifying investments towards overseas 
earnings' streams, particularly from the Far East, and  the energy and natural 
resources sectors which are rarely represented through qualifying investments. 
 Amati will seek over time to re-align the qualifying portfolio in ViCTory VCT 
towards slightly larger companies. 
At this year's AGM, shareholders will be invited to approve a resolution to 
permit a more flexible investment mandate to allow ViCTory VCT to adopt a 
similar approach to overall portfolio construction. 
The Board looks forwards to working with Amati and believes that this change of 
management of ViCTory VCT will add value for shareholders over the coming years.
