Octopus Apollo VCT ( (GB:OAP3) ) has issued an update.

Octopus Apollo VCT has issued and allotted 24,452,336 new ordinary shares at 52.0p each under its ongoing offer for subscription, which is seeking to raise up to £75 million with an additional £25 million over-allotment capacity across the 2025/2026 and 2026/2027 tax years. Application has been made for the new shares to be admitted to the FCA’s Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange around 8 April 2026, increasing the company’s issued share capital and total voting rights to 1,198,742,027 and providing an updated denominator for investors’ disclosure calculations under transparency rules.

A director’s person closely associated was included in the allotment, modestly increasing their holding and illustrating internal participation in the capital raise. The enlarged capital base may enhance liquidity in the shares and supports the VCT’s ability to deploy additional funds into its investment portfolio, with implications for existing and new shareholders’ exposure to the trust’s future performance.
