An announcement from Octopus AIM VCT ( (GB:OOA) ) is now available.
Octopus AIM VCT plc and Octopus AIM VCT 2 plc have published a new prospectus for an offer of ordinary shares aimed at raising up to £30 million in aggregate, with the potential to extend by a further £30 million, following approval from the Financial Conduct Authority. Under related party agreements with their investment manager, Octopus Investments Limited, the VCTs will pay an initial 3% charge on gross funds raised, an additional charge of up to 2.5% on funds from direct investors, and an ongoing 0.5% annual fee on the net asset value attributable to new shares held by direct investors for up to nine years, arrangements the boards deem fair and reasonable on sponsor advice. The offer is now open and scheduled to close on 5 April 2026 for the 2025/26 tax year and 11 January 2027 for the 2026/27 tax year, unless fully subscribed earlier, providing the trusts with fresh capital to deploy into AIM-listed companies and signalling continued investor demand for tax-advantaged exposure to UK growth businesses.

Spark’s Take on GB:OOA Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:OOA is a Neutral.
The score is held back primarily by weak and volatile financial results (multi-year losses despite a debt-free balance sheet), partly offset by improving 2025 cash flow. Technicals show positive momentum but are notably overbought, while valuation is mixed—supported by a high dividend yield but undermined by a loss-driven negative P/E. Recent fundraising plans add a modest positive tailwind.
