why it matters
Such notices are required under the UK Takeover Code and are filed during an offer period. For the wider market they are mostly routine information about large holders, but they show that institutional interest in SThree remains. Trade volumes are small, so the effect on the FTSE 250 or on either stock is likely limited.
