Holding(s) in Company
UBS Group AG has notified Distribution Finance Capital Holdings PLC of a significant reduction in its voting rights, effective November 3, 2025. UBS's total voting rights attached to shares decreased from a previous position of 8.427647% to 0.000000%, resulting in zero voting rights held. This disposal means UBS's trading book holdings have fallen below the 5% reporting threshold, exempting them from further disclosure. This substantial divestment by a major institutional investor could be perceived negatively by the market.
