OCI's 162,860,215 Ordinary Shares Confirmed with No Treasury Holdings

The announcement states that as of 30 October 2026, Oakley Capital Investments Limited had 162,860,215 ordinary shares of £0.01 each in issue and admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market. The company confirms that none of these shares were held in treasury, meaning the total voting rights figure is identical to the number of shares in issue. This figure serves as the statutory denominator under DTR 5.6.1, enabling shareholders to determine whether their current or changing interests in OCI trigger a mandatory notification obligation to the FCA.

OCI's Role as a Closed-Ended Private Equity Access Vehicle for Retail and Institutional Investors

OCI is a closed-ended investment fund that aims to provide shareholders with consistent long-term capital growth in excess of the FTSE All-Share Index by offering liquid access to private equity returns. It achieves this through investment in the Oakley Funds, which include Oakley Capital Private Equity III through to Oakley Capital VI, as well as Oakley Capital Origin and Origin II. These are unlisted lower-mid to mid-market buyout funds. The Oakley family also encompasses venture capital funds — Oakley PROfounders Fund III and Oakley Touring Venture Fund — which focus on entrepreneur-led, technology-driven companies.

Oakley Capital Limited's Investment Strategy Underpinning OCI's Portfolio

Founded in 2002, Oakley Capital Limited acts as investment adviser to OCI and focuses on sourcing growth assets at attractive prices. The adviser's strategy centres on buyout opportunities in sectors with potential for growth, consolidation, and operational improvement, drawing on sector and regional expertise alongside an entrepreneur-led deal network. The Oakley Funds target significant long-term capital appreciation, and the investment adviser's ability to handle transaction complexity is cited in the announcement as a distinguishing capability supporting OCI's private equity exposure strategy.

FCA Disclosure and Transparency Rule 5.6.1 Compliance Obligation Fulfilled

This regulatory notification fulfils OCI's continuing obligation under DTR 5.6.1, which requires listed companies to publish total voting rights at the end of any month in which a change has occurred. As an Official List company, OCI is subject to the FCA's Listing Rules and broader continuing obligations, including those related to financial reporting and shareholder communications. Investors may be watching future monthly disclosures to identify any movements in OCI's share count, which could indicate buyback activity, new issuances, or other capital structure changes relevant to shareholding threshold calculations.
