Pollen Street Group ordinary shares changed hands at prices ranging between 933p and 935.5p, according to a regulatory filing submitted by Investec Bank plc on Thursday.
The transaction, executed on 4 November 2026, involved the sale of 546 ordinary shares in the London-listed asset manager, with the price spread indicating modest but measurable variation across the deals.
Investec Bank plc disclosed the activity in its capacity as an exempt principal trader holding recognised intermediary status under the UK Takeover Code.
The bank occupies a dual position in relation to Pollen Street Group, serving as Joint Broker to the company while also conducting client-serving dealing activity subject to mandatory transparency rules.
Rule 8.5 of the Takeover Code requires such firms to publicly disclose dealing activity in relevant securities, ensuring market participants have visibility into transactions by connected intermediaries.
Investec confirmed that no cash-settled derivative transactions accompanied the share sales, and no stock-settled derivatives or options were written, purchased, or exercised during the same period.
The bank also stated that no indemnity arrangements, option agreements, or other formal or informal understandings exist that could constitute an inducement to deal or refrain from dealing in Pollen Street Group securities.
Similarly, no agreements relating to voting rights or future acquisition or disposal of securities referenced by any derivative were reported, with Investec recording “none” across both categories.
The absence of derivative activity and side arrangements means the disclosure reflects a straightforward equity sale with no layered financial instruments complicating the position.
Public disclosures of this type must be submitted to a Regulatory Information Service, with oversight provided by the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers’ Market Surveillance Unit, reachable at its London contact number.
The filing was formally dated 5 November 2026 and lists Abhishek Gawde as the contact person responsible for the submission, reachable via an Indian telephone number.
Pollen Street Group trades on the London Stock Exchange under the ticker POLN.L, while Investec Bank’s parent is listed as INVP.L in London and INL.JO on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.
