why it matters
A Form 8.3 is filed under the UK Takeover Code by holders of 1% or more of a company involved in a takeover offer, who must report their dealings. A sale of a small block by an employee trust is unlikely to move the market on its own, but the filing shows that easyJet is in an active offer period under the Code.
