   Downing Planned Exit VCT 8 plc 
 
   Circular re. Winding-up 
 
   9 April 2014 
 
   The Company was launched in October 2007 with the stated intention that, 
approximately five years after the close of fundraising, the Company 
would seek to sell its underlying investments and a resolution to wind 
up the Company would be put to Shareholders. 
 
   In line with this plan, the Board has now issued proposals for the 
Company to enter a winding up period and for the appointment of a 
liquidator. The Company has issued a circular setting out these 
proposals to be considered by Shareholders at a General Meeting to be 
held on 8 May 2014. Trading in the Company's shares will be suspended on 
8 May 2014. 
 
   The Board is recommending that the Company be placed into voluntary 
liquidation with the intention that further funds are returned to 
Shareholders by way of capital distributions by the Liquidator once the 
remaining investments have been realised, and that Antony Batty of 
Antony Batty & Company LLP be appointed as Liquidator. 
 
   If the resolutions are passed at the General Meeting, this will result 
in the cancellation of the listing of the ordinary shares of 0.1p each 
and A shares or 0.1p each in the Company ("Shares"), which is expected 
to take place on 6 June 2014, and the Shares to cease to trade on the 
London Stock Exchange.
