Whilst we wait ...........[update 26 Nov]

[UPDATE 26 Nov]

Seems to me that the Chancellor has just put another nail in OTV2's coffin by reducing tax relief from 30 to 20%  which rather fouls up any future fund raising as envisaged by the Directors. Clearly the 2035 date is now the end date of the Ponzi schemes.

...................................................................................................................


Anyone know why, according to the recent incomplete and entirely false and misleading schedule attached to the revised form SH01 received by Companies House on 21 October 2025, the VCT5 shareholders received their OTV2 shares at a 15% discount to the poor saps in VCT4?

Couldn't have anything to do with the fact that Jane O'Riordan was a Director of VCT5 and was appointed, and remains, a Director of OTV2 far beyond the "term limit"? She has served more than 15 years.

If you do the maths on the schedule you will note that 32,610,857 shares are reported as being issued as part of the mergers (at hefty discounts) but don't appear on the first page, or seemingly in the accounts. I wonder to whom they were issued?


Curioser and curioser, and as for the inability of Octopus Investment staff to add up.. say no more.

Request for the register of members to circularise the OTV2 Members to convene a General Meeting to resolve to liquidate the Company.

With impeccable timing, the CEO of "Octopus Ventures" yesterday took to the airwaves on SIFTED's "Startup Europe" podcast  https://sifted.eu/articles/erin-platts-podcast . Do listen to more "talk the talk" about the reasons for Titan's downfall and the need for transparency and to give the investors the information they need and change the team that screwed up in 2020...including Directors as I suggest? She does admit the VCT tax regime on new money is a problem which is why the EIS route is better for everyone and all VCTs should go now.  At the 10 October 2025 General Meeting, the Directors refused to answer the questions about the economic analysis and case for Liquidation being a better outcome for shareholders. There is a transcript of the meeting that they refused to make available to Members. Liquidation will save > £100,000,000 without jeapordising anyone's Tax status whilst retaining all economic upside on the investments. I have th...

What a week......... panic in the entire Investment Management sector and all self-inflicted .. time for all shareholders to stand up for their rights.

There is a state of absolute panic at 1 London Bridge and 33 Holborn ... homes to the deadly duo. I  am prohibited from telling you what it is all about until the High Court has considered Octopus' urgent application to the High Court for a gagging order and immediate destruction of documents that they put into Court to rely on their case against me ... yes you did read that correctly they are asking for their own evidence to be destroyed. I can however confirm that Octopus and Howard Kennedy are having to report themselves to the  Information Commissioner for serious breaches of UK GDPR and Data Protection and are probably obliged to urgently tell all shareholders. I await the case reference number. ...and all just to preserve the gravy train of outrageous fees for themselves and professional advisers (as well as the salaries of proven to be incompetent "non-executive Directors").  Octopus have every intention of destroying the very bedrock of the UK's company law an...
