Investec Bank plc has filed a Form 8.5 regulatory disclosure relating to dealings in ordinary shares of Gamma Communications Plc (GAMA.L).
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.

According to the filing, Investec Bank purchased a total of 21,254 ordinary shares in Gamma Communications, with prices ranging from 936 to 948 per unit.
In the same session, Investec Bank also sold 21,254 ordinary shares, again at prices ranging between 936 and 948 per unit.
The matching purchase and sale volumes are consistent with client-serving activity carried out in a principal trader capacity rather than proprietary positioning.
