Shareholding percentages13 Jan 2021 08:13
Good morning all
Just thought it might be helpful to set out the shareholdings that we know.
Shares issued were 15.761 billion. Although the authorised share capital is 17.25 billion and it is possible some or all of the difference of 1.489 billion have been issued since delist.
For the purposes of this I will assume that we still just have the 15.761 billion issued and that shareholdings haven't changed since we were last informed.
SN holds 1.710 billion which equated to 10.85%.
Zaza holds 1.040 billion which equated to 6.60%.
Devex, in his post of 19.12.19, said FSHG had registered private shareholders totalling c4.42 billion, which equated to c28.04%.
This only totals 45.49%. If there are any known shareholdings I have missed please post details.
We know that there will be many PIs who decided not to register with FSHG, and it's likely that a few more may have registered since Dec 2019 (perhaps Devex could confirm how large the registered holders are now), but I suspect the increase won't be significant. But PIs will almost certainly hold the majority of the shares.
So, we can conclude that whatever happens restructure wise, they are going to need the support of a substantial number of us private investors (probably most) to get it passed. That means we will undoubtedly be involved in the new structure, although we are likely to be presented with a scenario of "vote for this as the alternative is administration", so how favourable that will be, remains to be seen.
