Total Voting Rights and Capital

What happened

Octopus AIM VCT 2 plc reported that as at 31 October 2026 it has 216,899,547 ordinary shares of 0.01p each in issue, holds no shares in treasury, and has total voting rights of 216,899,547.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

The total voting rights figure gives shareholders the number used to work out whether their stake crosses disclosure thresholds, which means investors can tell if they must notify the company of an interest or a change to it.

Analyst inference

This is a routine company secretarial update rather than a trading or fundraising announcement, so it changes no cash, costs or capital spending plans; its relevance is limited to ownership disclosure calculations for this venture capital trust.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. Shareholders may use 216,899,547 as the denominator to calculate whether they must notify an interest, or a change to an interest, under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules. Confirmed
2. Watch for later updates if the company issues or buys back shares, because the number of ordinary shares and total voting rights would then change and alter disclosure calculations for holders. Analyst inference
3. Investors should check their own holdings against this figure to judge whether a disclosure notification is needed, rather than assume the denominator stays fixed. Proposed
