UK Firms File New Shareholding Disclosures Covering Major Market Players

UK securities disclosures include HSBC’s report that managers’ vested plan interests increased through automatic reinvestment of its 2026 second interim dividend, alongside Takeover Code Rule 8.3 filings concerning Beazley, easyJet, Harworth Group and Eleco. The filings identify Legal & General Asset Management for Beazley; Equiniti Share Plan, Wellington Management and Nomura International for easyJet; Janus Henderson for Harworth Group; and Brooks Macdonald Asset Management for Eleco. Rule 8.3 disclosures cover interests and short positions of 1% or more, relevant dealings and related arrangements. The supplied excerpts do not show specific shareholdings or transaction figures, so the size and direction of the reported positions cannot be determined.
Janus Henderson said it had no discretion over voting decisions for 0 shares included in its reported total.
The forms specify that open stock-settled derivative positions, including traded options, and agreements to buy or sell relevant securities are to be detailed on a separate Supplemental Form 8.
The disclosure instructions call for a separate form for each offeror or offeree, and for the latest practicable date to be stated for an opening-position disclosure.
