Four UK-listed companies have disclosed their voting shares and capital structures as of September 30, 2026, fulfilling transparency rules that let investors assess disclosure obligations. Morningstar reported that MONY Group holds 511,634,063 voting shares, Jardine Matheson 292,628,776, and Dr. Martens 968,026,973 — with none reporting treasury shares held.
Norman Broadbent reported 2,010,950 ordinary shares, each worth £0.05 and carrying one vote per share. Sharecast noted that Dr. Martens also admitted 15,731 shares to the London Stock Exchange's Main Market in September under an existing employee share scheme — a routine administrative filing rather than a capital raise.
MONY Group and Jardine Matheson Share Counts
MONY Group's 511,634,063 ordinary shares carry a nominal value of 0.02 pence each, according to Morningstar. The company holds no treasury shares, meaning all issued shares remain in active circulation. Jardine Matheson's 292,628,776 voting shares follow the same structure — full circulation with no treasury holdings.
Dr. Martens' Large Share Base and Employee Scheme Activity
Dr. Martens operates the largest voting share base of the four companies at 968,026,973 shares, Sharecast reported. The September admission of 15,731 shares under the employee-share-scheme block represents routine activity tied to staff incentives. These newly admitted shares are fully fungible — meaning they trade identically to existing Dr. Martens shares on the Main Market.
Norman Broadbent's Smaller Capital Structure
Norman Broadbent operates with a much smaller issued share count: 2,010,950 ordinary shares, each valued at £0.05 and each carrying exactly one vote. Morningstar confirmed the company holds no treasury shares. The straightforward one-share-one-vote structure makes voting-right calculations simple for shareholders assessing transparency disclosure thresholds.
Why These Disclosures Matter for UK Shareholders
UK transparency rules require companies to disclose voting-share totals so investors can determine whether they've crossed key disclosure thresholds — typically 3%, 5%, or 10% of voting rights. Accurate share counts prevent disclosure penalties. Morningstar noted that the filings align with Article L.233-8 of French Commercial Code standards, showing harmonized European disclosure practices. Companies with no treasury shares simplify these calculations.
