BIOPHARMA CREDIT PLC

(THE 'COMPANY')

POTENTIAL ISSUE OF SHARES

The Company is pleased to announce that, given the investments recently announced and the sizeable pipeline of near-term opportunities, it is considering an issue of ordinary shares prior to the end of January 2018. Any such issue would be for a total of up to 20% of the Company's total issued share capital and shares would be issued without a prospectus at a price not less than the most recently published NAV per share plus a premium to cover the costs of the issue. Any placing is likely to include participation by some cornerstone investors. Further details will be announced in due course.
