The position covers 17,495,882 voting shares, all recorded as indirect holdings, with no financial instruments included. The notice was filed on October 27, 2026, and cites an acquisition or disposal of voting rights and an event that changed the breakdown of voting rights as the reasons.

why it matters
For markets this is a routine disclosure under UK major-holding rules. A small change in the stake does not materially alter the trust's shareholder structure, but it shows that a large manager continues to add to its position.
