mcadder ref 14.04 post I agree that the shareholder has a responsibility to update the company through a TR1 if there is a relevant change in their holdings. However, as far as keeping the list of significant shareholders up to date this is not an onerous duty so it should be easy to comply. There are two groups of people who are likely to find this information of importance. Firstly, anyone planning to award a tender would want to know who the main shareholders are. While they could obtain some of this information from companies house filings this would not give a complete picture. The fact that this information is not up to date might trigger a red flag. The second group would be a shareholder wanting to table a motion at an AGM or EGM they would use this information to reach the 5% threshold to get an item on the agenda.
As and when the list is updated I do not expect to see any rush of selling but there might be a few changes in the list of significant shareholders.
