Investec Bank Plc has filed a Form 8.5 regulatory disclosure relating to share dealings in Gamma Communications Plc (GAMA.L), as required under Rule 8.5 of the Takeover Code.
The disclosure was made public on 3rd August 2026, covering transactions that were carried out on 31st July 2026 in Gamma Communications ordinary shares.
Investec Bank Plc holds the status of an exempt principal trader with recognised intermediary status, meaning it operates in a client-serving capacity under the Takeover Code.
The bank confirmed it acts as Joint Broker to Gamma Communications Plc, establishing its connection to the party named in the disclosure filing.
According to the filing, Investec Bank Plc purchased a total of 36,405 ordinary shares in Gamma Communications during the relevant dealing period.
The purchases were executed at prices ranging from a low of 930 pence per unit to a high of 948 pence per unit during the session.
In the same period, the firm also recorded sales of 36,405 ordinary shares, with identical price parameters of 930 pence at the lowest and 948 pence at the highest.
The matched volume of purchases and sales reflects the firm’s activity as a market intermediary rather than a directional investor taking a proprietary position.
No cash-settled derivatives, stock-settled derivatives, or options were involved in the disclosed transactions, with all such sections of the filing marked as not applicable.
Investec Bank Plc confirmed there are no indemnity arrangements, option agreements, or understandings relating to the relevant securities that might constitute an inducement to deal or refrain from dealing.
Similarly, no agreements or understandings exist between the exempt principal trader and any other person relating to voting rights or future acquisition of any relevant securities referenced by derivatives.
The contact named in the regulatory filing is Abhishek Gawde, and the disclosure was submitted in compliance with the public reporting obligations set out by the Takeover Panel.
Public disclosures of this nature under Rule 8 of the Takeover Code are required to be made to a Regulatory Information Service to maintain transparency during offer periods.
