On 30 May 2020 Capco announced that it had agreed to acquire a 26.3 per cent. shareholding in Shaftesbury across two tranches. The acquisition of the first tranche, representing 20.94 per cent. of Shaftesbury's shares, completed on 3 June 2020. The acquisition of the second tranche, representing 5.31 per cent. of Shaftesbury's shares, when aggregated with the first tranche, constitutes a Class 1 transaction for the purposes of the Listing Rules and is therefore conditional on the approval of Capco shareholders. The Circular contains further details on the proposed acquisition of the second tranche of Shaftesbury shares, the Notice of General Meeting and details on the form of proxy. Availability of Circular The Circular will shortly be submitted to the FCA's National Storage Mechanism and will be available for inspection on its website at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
