Ridgecrest plc, a former investment company which held 12,190,065 shares in Acuity, representing 5.09% of the Company’s issued share capital, was placed into Members Voluntary Liquidation in September 2024 to distribute its assets to its members. That distribution has now completed. As a result, Ridgecrest plc no longer has a notifiable stake in Acuity, and the ex-Ridgecrest shareholders have each received shares in Acuity pro-rata to the size of their Ridgecrest stake.
As part of this distribution, Nicholas Clark, a director of Acuity, has received 2,712 shares in Acuity, taking his family holding to 11,938,712, representing 4.98% of the Company’s issued share capital.
Angus Forrest, Chairman of Acuity, said “We’re pleased to welcome these new shareholders and look forward to reporting on our progress in 2026.”
