what happened
The Vanguard Group, Inc. published four Form 8.3 notices through EQS News, each covering positions and dealings as of 20 October 2026. The filings follow Rule 8.3 of the Takeover Code, which requires holders of at least 1% in companies involved in takeover situations to report their dealings.
At Spire Healthcare Group plc, Vanguard holds 14,418,790 shares, or 3.58%, after selling 20,805 shares at 2.48 GBP. At Bodycote plc, its stake is 9,288,618 shares, or 5.46%, after a sale of 13,585 shares at 9.10 GBP. At Mitie Group plc, it owns 65,891,175 shares, or 5.06%, following a sale of 95,760 shares at 2.11 GBP.
At Intertek Group plc, Vanguard holds 8,808,257 shares, or 5.72%, and bought 4,237 shares at 59.15 GBP.
why it matters
Form 8.3 notices are routine and are required from holders of 1% or more in companies in takeover situations. They show shifts in ownership rather than new deals or offers. For the market the effect is usually limited, but regular sales or purchases by a large investor reflect portfolio changes in these shares.
