Dividend Declaration

The Board of Octopus Future Generations plc (the ‘Company’) is pleased to
declare its first dividend since launching in 2022, marking an important
milestone in the Company’s progress.

A special dividend of 5.6p per share will be paid on 24 September 2025 to
shareholders on the register at 5 September 2025.

The dividend will be funded from the proceeds of the successful sale of Cobee,
the Company’s first full exit, a provider of a flexible employee benefits
platform which was successfully sold to Pluxee, a global player in the
employee benefits space. The Board has chosen to distribute the full amount
from this exit.

As is common in early-stage venture capital investing, the Company’s
performance to date reflects the time needed for young businesses to grow and
realise value, with some companies facing challenges early on. This first
realisation, together with other companies achieving important commercial
milestones, provides encouraging signs that the portfolio is beginning to
deliver on its long-term potential.

The Board remains committed to pursuing the Company’s investment objective
of generating attractive long-term returns for shareholders through a
combination of capital growth and regular dividends.
