Helikon Investments discloses 17% stake in Dalata Hotel Group

LONDON - Helikon Investments Limited has disclosed a significant long position in Dalata Hotel Group PLC, holding 17.09% of the company’s shares, as per a recent regulatory filing. The investment firm reported its stake through cash-settled derivatives, specifically contracts for difference (CFDs).

The disclosure, dated May 20, 2025, reveals that Helikon Investments increased its long position by 4,374 shares at a price of €5.5268 per share. This transaction underlines Helikon’s growing interest in the Irish hotel operator.

Dalata Hotel Group, listed on the Irish Stock Exchange, operates hotels primarily in Ireland and the United Kingdom (TADAWUL:4280). The company has been an attractive investment for various funds and has seen its share price fluctuate based on market trends and its operational performance.

Helikon’s disclosure is part of the mandatory reporting required by the Irish Takeover Panel Act, 1997, Takeover Rules, 2022. The rules stipulate that any person holding interests in relevant securities representing 1% or more must make such disclosures to ensure transparency in the market.

The reported transaction does not involve any stock-settled derivatives or other dealing arrangements, as confirmed by Helikon Investments. Moreover, there are no indemnity or option arrangements, agreements, or understandings related to the disclosed securities that could serve as an inducement to deal or refrain from dealing.

This announcement, based on a press release statement, comes amid a dynamic period for the hospitality industry, which has faced challenges and opportunities in the post-pandemic recovery phase. Investors and market observers will likely monitor the implications of Helikon’s increased stake in Dalata Hotel Group as the sector continues to evolve.

Helikon Investments Limited, through its Helikon Long Short Equity Fund Master ICAV, has not disclosed any dealings in securities of any other party to the offer. The company’s contact for the disclosure is Mr. Paul McLernon, with a provided telephone number for further inquiries. However, as per guidelines, this number is not included in this report.
