Members’ voluntary liquidation of Artemis VCT plc

At a general meeting of Artemis VCT plc, held on 30 September 2020, shareholders voted to approve a members’ voluntary liquidation with effect from 1 October 2020.

Last updated 28 October 2021

The decision to recommend a members’ voluntary liquidation to shareholders followed a period of careful consideration by the Board and Artemis. The limited opportunities to continue to develop and refresh the portfolio on an ongoing basis (exacerbated by heightened VCT regulations), combined with the Company’s declining assets and ongoing running costs, resulted in the proposal being deemed to be the best option to protect and realise shareholder value.
