Baronsmead Second Venture ( (GB:BMD) ) just unveiled an update.

Baronsmead Second Venture Trust plc has announced that the early subscription incentive on its current share offer has closed after applications under its portion of the joint fundraising with Baronsmead Venture Trust plc exceeded £10 million. The incentive, which provided a reduced level of offer costs for both existing shareholders and new investors on the first £10 million of aggregate applications, will no longer be available for further subscriptions, signalling strong initial demand for the venture capital trust’s latest capital raise within the wider £30 million offer (with a £20 million over-allotment facility) and potentially tightening the cost advantage for subsequent investors.
