Notification Background
The latest disclosure relates to BGF Investment Management Limited, which filed the notification on behalf of BGF Investments LP. The notification identifies Pershing Securities Limited, via Pershing Nominees Limited, as the registered shareholder connected to the voting rights. Both entities are based in the United Kingdom, with BGF in London and Pershing Securities located in Liverpool.
Threshold Crossing Date
The notification indicates that the threshold was crossed in late August, with the issuer informed shortly thereafter. As part of standard market practice, the disclosure was released through the Regulatory News Service. Such notifications are important because they record when a shareholder’s voting rights change relative to the thresholds set by market regulations.

BGF Group plc and BGF Investment Management Limited are identified as entities through which the rights are held. This provides clarity regarding the control structure and ensures transparency for market participants.
