As per Takeover rules, any "Potential Bidder" needs to see full list of shareholders, especially the "Significant shareholders". Their full name, Nature of Control (direct & indirect control) with their Holdings and Voting rights %.
We might have received an initial friendly Takeover approach which the BOD are not obliged to disclose. However if this goes up +50% or 70% tomorrow, then the BOD might have to issue an RNS with the usual wording....initial Takeover approach significantly undervalues the company etc etc.
Speculation but the most logical explanation for today's Holding RNS was to make it public, especially to any "Potential Bidder".
IMHO.
