DTR 5.6 Disclosures by issuers
DTR 5.6.1R20/01/2007
RP
An issuer must, at the end of each calendar month during which an increase or decrease has occurred, disclose to the public:
(1) the total number of voting rights and capital in respect of each class of share which it issues.
[Note: article 15 of the TD]; and
(2) the total number of voting rights attaching to shares of the issuer which are held by it in treasury.
DTR 5.6.1AR01/11/2010
RP
(1) Notwithstanding DTR 5.6.1 R, if a relevant increase or decrease in the total number of voting rights of the kind described in (2) occurs, an issuer must disclose to the public the information in DTR 5.6.1R (1) and (2) as soon as possible and in any event no later than the end of the business day following the day on which the increase or decrease occurs.
(2) For the purpose of (1), a relevant increase or decrease is any increase or decrease in the total number of voting rights produced when an issuer completes a transaction unless its effect on the total number of voting rights is immaterial when compared with the position before completion.
DTR 5.6.1BG01/04/2013
RP
In relation to the obligation in DTR 5.6.1A R, it is for an issuer to assess whether the effect on the total number of voting rights is immaterial. In the FCA's view an increase or decrease of 1% or more is likely to be material, both to the issuer and to the public.
