Liontrust scales back Everplay Group stake

LONDON - Liontrust Investment Partners LLP has reduced its holdings in UK-based Everplay Group PLC, according to a notification filed on Monday. The investment firm, which operates under the umbrella of Liontrust Asset Management (LON:LIO) Plc, crossed a notable threshold on May 30, 2025, resulting in a change to its position in the gaming company.

The disclosure, mandated under the UK’s financial regulations, revealed that Liontrust’s voting rights in the Everplay Group have decreased to 11.3198% of the total, which equates to 16,509,716 shares. Previously, Liontrust held a higher stake of 13.223%, combining both direct voting rights and financial instruments.

This shift represents a notable change in the investment landscape for Everplay Group, a company listed on the London Stock Exchange (LON:LSEG) under the ticker symbol GB00BYVX2X20. The adjustment in Liontrust’s stake was officially recorded on the date of the threshold crossing and the company was subsequently notified on June 2, 2025.

The transaction details specified that the voting rights are held directly by Liontrust Investment Partners LLP, a controlled undertaking of Liontrust Asset Management Plc. The notification did not indicate any use of financial instruments that could lead to a similar economic effect as holding shares directly.

The regulatory framework in the UK requires transparency regarding the ownership and control of publicly traded companies. Such notifications are essential for maintaining a fair and informed market, allowing investors to track significant changes in company ownership.
