LONDON - Octopus Titan VCT plc announced the results of its Annual General Meeting held on Thursday, with all resolutions passing despite significant shareholder opposition to several key items.

The venture capital trust reported that three resolutions faced substantial dissent, with more than 20% of votes cast against the approval of the Directors’ Remuneration report and the re-election of two board members, Jane O’Riordan and Lord Rockley.
