Oh dear... today brings yet more vile unjustified threats against me and fellow shareholders from Octopus and Howard Kennedy.

Today brings allegations that I must have breached the SLAPP court orders because Howard Kennedy don't even understand a simple primary school maths SAT level formula that if you divide the number of shares in a decile of the total members by the number of persons in that group you get an average..

... and then if they have more shares than that average then they must be a member of that or a higher decile.

Shame I am also banned by the Court from showing you the Order and the relevant documents.

All I did was ask for a copy of the Proxy form for the AGM.

Methinks there is panic in Holborn. I gave them until 4.00pm to reply to my "Arkell v- Pressdram"  response - they haven't so now I am going public. I will make my "without prejudice" correspondence and their replies available if they include it in their Witness Statement - due in the High Court by 23rd May. 

I wonder if the panic also has anything to do with the fact that for any shareholder who absolutely has to sell now, they are better off donating the shares to charity and claiming 100% of the "false" 20+p market value against their taxable income - 45% direct from HMRC - rather than taking the 50% less fees offered by the Octopus "sponsored" broker. Just who is underwriting the value of that book building?

This charity might be a good starting point. https://shareaction.org/  Now there's an idea! Look at what they do for private shareholders.

Companies House TODAY confirms it is invoking investigatory powers under Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 against Octopus Titan VCT plc

Just ask yourselves why the Octopus Directors continue to refuse to provide the missing Independent Valuation document from the mergers. Does it exist?      probably lost if it ever existed Did it comply with the law?     probably not given past history Why were the valuers later appointed Auditors?  BDO have their tentacles in every aspect of the VCT sector and have proven time and again that they can be relied on to just take the money and do whatever is needed by the Directors. WHY DOES THIS MATTER SO MUCH? Because the whole purpose of Merger Valuations is to provide a once in a lifetime Independent valaution of unquoted investments, something which the entire VCT sector is terrified of doing so they just "bribe" the likes of BDO into merely rubber-stamping the Investment Manager's numbers... AND LOOK WHERE THAT GOT THE OTV2 INVESTORS! £1bn written off after more than £250m paid to Octopus. Nice work if you can get it. Why are the Directors of Octop...
