Further examination of the TR1 - it does appear Spencer has sold some shares.
took 11.9m shares in private placement which entered LSE on 29th Sept
Previously held 4.99% of 907,206,399 shares = 45,269,599 + 11,905,370 in private placement = 57,174,969 shares
New holding: 41,279,757 shares + 12,249,844 CFDs
So looks like reduction of 15.9m shares, take up of 12.2m CFDs.
What I don't understand well enough as I don't dabble in CFDs is the process to reduce physical shares to take CFDs and whether you swap the shares for CFDs with an institution, simply sell them and buy CFDs or something else.
If anybody can enlighten me it would be appreciated.
