Its very very simple. Capstone is a hedgefund and bought the VAST 150m shares previously via a CFD/Swap mechanism, its very common
Barclays were the underlying hence they owned the shares on behalf of Capstone.
Capstone then added another 30m to take holding up to 180m and transfered them into a sharedealing account so that they hold the physical stock for voting purposes
Its all irrelevant mechanics to be honest
The simple answer is Capstone bought 150m shares. Then they bought another 30m shares. End of
