Investec Bank Plc has filed a Form 8.5 regulatory disclosure relating to dealings in Gamma Communications Plc ordinary shares conducted on 14th August 2026.
The disclosure was made under Rule 8.5 of the Takeover Code, which governs public dealing disclosures by exempt principal traders with recognised intermediary status.
Investec Bank Plc is identified in the filing as acting in a client-serving capacity, with the bank serving as Joint Broker to Gamma Communications Plc.
The dealings were carried out on 14th August 2026, with the formal public disclosure submitted on 17th August 2026 in line with regulatory requirements.

The highest price per unit recorded across both purchases and sales stood at 981.5 pence, while the lowest price per unit was 971 pence.
