The Vesuvius filing also names RHI Magnesita N.V. as another party to the offer.

why it matters

Such disclosures are required from holders of 1% or more in companies involved in a takeover situation, and they show large buying activity to the market. These individual dealings are small and do not change the picture for the market.
