LONDON - Whitehall Associated SA, based in Panama City, has decreased its shareholding in Synectics Plc, a company listed on the London Stock Exchange (LON:LSEG). The transaction, which occurred on January 3, 2025, brought Whitehall’s total voting rights in Synectics down to 26.946% from the previous notification of 27.789%.
The crossing of the threshold was the result of a disposal of voting rights, as indicated in the official notification to the issuer. Whitehall Associated SA now directly holds 4,795,000 voting rights in Synectics Plc. The notification, completed in Geneva on the date of the transaction, did not disclose any further details regarding the sale or the reasons behind it.
Synectics Plc, which operates in the security and surveillance industry, has not commented on the change in shareholding. The notification did not trigger any disclosure of proxy voting rights or control via financial instruments, suggesting that Whitehall’s interest is held directly in shares.
The disclosure, mandated by the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) Transparency Directive, ensures that the market is kept informed of changes in significant shareholdings in listed companies. This type of information is crucial for investors who track ownership trends and potential influence on company strategies and governance.
The reduction in shareholding by Whitehall Associated SA represents a slight shift in the ownership structure of Synectics Plc, which may be of interest to investors and market analysts.
