   Seneca Growth Capital VCT Plc (the "Company") 
 
   Update for the quarter ended 30 September 2019 
 
   The Directors and the investment manager of the Company, Seneca Partners 
Limited, have reviewed the valuation of the Company's portfolios as at 
30 September 2019. 
 
   The unaudited net asset value per share ("NAV") of an ordinary share as 
at 30 September 2019 was 34.6p per share.  This is an increase of 1.0p 
from the previously published unaudited NAV as at 30 June 2019 of 33.6p, 
due to the changes in the value of the quoted investments, net of the 
associated performance fee. The quoted investments of the ordinary share 
pool are valued at the closing bid prices. As at 30 September 2019, 
shares in Scancell plc were valued at 7.0p (30 June 2019: 6.5p) and 
shares in Omega Diagnostics plc were valued at 11.3p (30 June 2019: 
9.7p). The Directors also reviewed the unquoted investments held in the 
portfolio and concluded that all valuations remain appropriate. 
 
   The unaudited NAV of a B share as at 30 September 2019 was 95.2p per B 
share.  This is a decrease of 4.3p from the previously published 
unaudited NAV as at 30 June 2019 of 99.5p due to changes in the value of 
the quoted investment, as well as the impact of ordinary running costs 
incurred in the quarter ended 30 September 2019. The quoted investment 
of the B share pool is valued at the closing bid price. As at 30 
September 2019, shares in SkinBioTherapeutics plc were valued at 15.25p 
(30 June 2019: 19.5p). The Directors also reviewed the unquoted 
investments held in the portfolio and concluded that all valuations 
remain appropriate.  The decrease in the NAV per B share is limited by 
the impact of the cost cap which restricts the burden of ordinary 
running costs on the B share class to 3% of the NAV of the B shares. 
 
   During the quarter the Company also issued a prospectus on 16 July 2019 
in relation to an offer for subscription for further B shares to raise, 
in aggregate, up to GBP10 million with an over-allotment facility of up 
to a further GBP10 million (before issue costs) (the "Offer"). The Offer 
is expected to close no later than 5.00 p.m. on 3 April 2020 in relation 
to the tax year 2019/20, and no later than 5.00 p.m. on 9 July 2020 in 
relation to the tax year 2020/21 (unless the Offer has been fully 
subscribed by an earlier date or previously extended by the Board to a 
date no later than 13 July 2020). 
 
   The Directors are not aware of any post period end events that would 
materially impact the Company itself or the value of investments held.
