UKOG Significant and Directors’ shareholdings30 Jun 2026 17:10
As usual it’s not straightforward to reconcile the latest list on UKOG’s website with previous iterations.
It is a complete nonsense for the company to refer to nominee companies as significant holders so we should ignore the long list of those, but interesting to note that AJBell, Trading 212 and IG Markets who all featured in the annual report don’t appear in the list. Newcomers Rock and Lawshare Nominees enter but the eagle eyes among you will spot that this is only by rounding up; HDSL holders have seemingly had advice to run for the hills and are also now under 3%. The list is bulked out with three entries each for Hargreaves and Interactive, and our thoughts should be with the countless poor souls with accounts behind all those nominee listings.
The only relevant holdings are:
Peel Hunt – up from 8.9% to 10.02%
Puma Nominees (Shore Capital) – down from 9.61% to 6.78%, and
Cantor Fitzgerald – down from 4.43% last year to 3.28% (but not mentioned in the annual report)
Therefore, the few large holders have reduced by 3% since March (rounded up as UKOG is allowed to do).
I don’t really understand Peel Hunt’s role and maybe someone else can help with that.
If the page title includes Directors’ holdings, it should feature Sanderson’s 1,245,731 shares after the 1:10 consolidation which are worth £105.89.
