The Vanguard Group, Inc. reported holding 65,894,303 shares of the same class, or 5.06%. On the same day it sold 11,458 shares at 2.11 pounds, according to a filing published on EQS News.

Both documents were filed under Rule 8.3 of the Takeover Code, which requires parties holding 1% or more to report their positions and dealings.

why it matters

Disclosures of this kind appear while a company is subject to a possible takeover, so the market watches large holders closely. Small sales at around 2.1 pounds do not change the share capital structure, but they show how institutional investors are handling Mitie stock during this period.
