Wed, 22nd Apr 2026 18:26

(Alliance News) - The Raspberry Pi Foundation plans to sell around 5% of its stake in Raspberry Pi Holdings PLC through a secondary share placing, Peel Hunt LLP said on Wednesday.

The shares will be offered via an accelerated bookbuild to institutional investors, with Peel Hunt LLP and Jefferies International Ltd acting as joint global coordinators and bookrunners.

The foundation currently holds about 46.64% of Raspberry Pi's outstanding shares. Following completion of the placing, its remaining stake will be subject to a 365-day lock-up period, subject to customary exceptions.

The company itself will not receive any proceeds from the sale.

Arm Technology Investments 2 Ltd, a "strategic shareholder", has indicated it intends to participate significantly in the transaction.

The final number of shares and allocation will be determined at the close of the bookbuild process, with timing at the managers' discretion.

Shares in Raspberry Pi Holdings closed 2.0% higher at 602.00 pence in London on Wednesday.
