PCT Satisfies Market Abuse Regulation Requirements for Closed Period Dealings

Under the Market Abuse Regulation, investment companies entering a closed period ahead of results announcements are ordinarily restricted from transacting in their own securities. Polar Capital Technology Trust has confirmed that this restriction does not currently apply, because all inside information held by its directors and the company has already been publicly disclosed through a regulatory information service. The announcement also highlights that the trust calculates and publishes its net asset value per share on a daily basis via a regulatory information service, a practice that supports transparency and underpins the company's ability to deal during this period.

Half-Year Results for Period Ended 31 October 2026 Due on or Around 11 December

Polar Capital Technology Trust has indicated that its half-year results, covering the six-month period ended 31 October 2026, are expected to be published on or around 11 December 2026. The announcement states that the closed period will end upon that publication. No financial figures, performance data, or portfolio commentary have been disclosed as part of this regulatory update. Investors seeking insight into the trust's holdings within global technology markets, and any movement in net asset value over the reporting period, will need to await the formal half-year results.

Directors Commit to Regulatory Disclosure Before Any Future Insider Dealings

The announcement includes an additional commitment from Polar Capital Technology Trust's board: should any director come into possession of inside information before the half-year results are published, that information will be notified to a regulatory information service prior to any dealing taking place. This forward-looking procedural commitment is consistent with standard Market Abuse Regulation compliance practice for listed investment trusts. Corporate secretarial responsibilities for the company are handled by Polar Capital Secretarial Services, with Director Kelly Nice listed as the contact for further information.
