Octopus AIM VCT plc (the 'Company') announces that 58,834 Ordinary Shares of 1p each were issued and allotted on 15 May 2026 at a price of 41.8p per share equivalent to the current NAV.

These shares were issued to those investors who, in accordance with the adviser charging terms contained in each fundraising document offered to the public and published since 31 December 2012 following the introduction of the Retail Distribution Review, had chosen to pay their adviser less than the 0.5% ongoing adviser charge.

The issued share capital and total voting rights of the Company are now 250,629,224. This figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
