To expand on my first comment
The first large transaction was 21,258,503 shares. This is precisely the last quoted holding I can find of Gold Fields.
The following two transactions are 15,512,105 and 5,746,398 which add up to exactly 21, 258,503. I believe we are seeing 21.26m shares being moved, not 42.5m. The numbers fit exactly with Gold Fields and not Sustainable Capital.
I have seen something similar where a company has moved a holding to separate entities within the overall parent company. In that case Gold Fields would most likely still be the ultimate owner and no TR1 would need to be issued.
Another possibility is that it's an arranged sell by Gold Fields being split to two new owners. In that case we ought to see TR1s, at least confirming Gold Fields sell and hopefully identifying at least one new/increased holder.
Whatever it was, the shares were not being made available to retail buyers as it was remarkably difficult to buy a reasonable amount all day yet someone was prepared to take large amounts from me all day.
Interesting times.
