Possible merger between Octopus Titan VCT 1 Plc, Octopus Titan VCT 2 Plc, Octopus Titan VCT 3 Plc, Octopus Titan VCT 4 Plc and Octopus Titan VCT 5 Plc ("Companies")

The board of directors of the Companies announce that they have entered into discussions regarding a possible merger of the Companies ("Merger"). These discussions may or may not lead to an agreement to merge the Companies.  If the Merger is to proceed the current intention is that it will proceed by way  of a scheme of reconstruction under the Insolvency Act 1986 which, on this basis, would be outside the provisions of The City Code on Takeovers and Mergers. 

If the Merger proceeds it would be expected to achieve cost savings through the establishment of one enlarged VCT with net assets of approximately £160 million.

Following completion of the Merger, it is proposed to launch an offer for subscription to raise up to £50 million with an overallotment facility of a further £20 million. 

A further announcement will be made in due course.
