Investec Bank Plc has filed a Form 8.5 public dealing disclosure relating to ordinary shares in Gamma Communications Plc (GAMA.L), covering transactions executed on 11th August 2026.
The disclosure was made under Rule 8.5 of the UK Takeover Code, which governs public dealing disclosures by exempt principal traders with recognised intermediary status.
Investec Bank Plc acted in a client-serving capacity for the transactions, as the firm serves as Joint Broker to Gamma Communications Plc during the relevant offer period.

On the sales side, the firm received an identical price range of 977 pence at the high end and 965.5 pence at the low end per ordinary share transacted.
The matched volumes on both the purchase and sale sides reflect the typical activity of an exempt principal trader operating in a market-making or client-facilitation role.
Investec confirmed that no cash-settled derivative transactions, stock-settled derivative transactions, or options were involved in the disclosed dealings on that date.
The firm also stated there are no indemnity arrangements, option agreements, or other understandings that could constitute an inducement to deal or refrain from dealing with any party to the offer.
