Investment Objective & Strategy

Odyssean Investment Trust PLC

("OIT") is a closed-ended investment company that seeks to generate attractive total returns principally through capital growth over a medium term.

OIT's investment strategy is to invest in a concentrated portfolio of well researched quoted UK smaller companies, typically too small for inclusion in the FTSE 250. These companies will be selected through a rigorous process, and all have potential to generate improved returns to their shareholders. OIT is actively managed.

Constructive corporate engagement is a key part of Odyssean's approach, drawing on the investment team's lengthy and successful track record in public and private equity investing.

Key Risk Considerations

• Investment in OIT may not be appropriate for investors who plan to withdraw their money within 5 years.
• Shares of OIT may trade either below (at a discount) or above (at a premium) the Net Asset Value ("NAV") for a variety of reasons. On a sale you could realise less than the NAV and less than you initially invested.
• OIT's portfolio is focused towards small and mid-sized companies, which may involve a higher degree of risk than larger sized companies. The shares of smaller companies may be less liquid and more volatile than those of larger companies.
• OIT holds a concentrated portfolio (no more than 25 companies). This means that the portfolio carries a higher degree of stock- specific risk than a more diversified portfolio and a material decline in the value of one investment in the portfolio could have a significant impact on the overall value of the portfolio and the share price of OIT.
• OIT's exposure to a single market and a small number of sectors may increase risk.
• There is no guarantee that the investment objective of OIT will be achieved.
