InvestAcc shareholder exits

Highlights

On 2 November 2026, Nicholas Edwin Gardner exited his entire holding in InvestAcc Group Limited, disposing of 6,150,911 ordinary shares via a secondary placing.
The updated TR-1 notification revealed Gardner reduced his voting rights from 12.6% to 0%, clarifying a previous disclosure error.
Post-transaction, no direct, indirect, or financial instrument voting exposure remains for Gardner, confirming full removal of his stake in InvestAcc.

Correction filing clarifies disposal details

As reported by London Stock Exchange, the TR-1 notification states that the threshold was crossed on 8 October 2026 and that the issuer was notified on 9 October 2026. The filing identifies Nicholas Edwin Gardner, based in Carlisle, United Kingdom, as the person subject to the notification obligation.

The notification says the resulting position on the date the threshold was crossed was 0% of voting rights attached to shares and 0% through financial instruments, leaving a total holding of 0 voting rights. The previous notified position was 12.6%, and the company describes the update as a correction to an incorrect position previously disclosed.

The additional information section says the correction relates to the disposal of 6,150,911 ordinary shares pursuant to a secondary placing announced by InvestAcc Group Limited on 8 October 2026. Following completion, the notifier holds no shares or voting rights in the company.

Shareholding impact for InvestAcc

The filing indicates that no direct or indirect voting rights remained after completion, and no financial instruments with voting exposure were reported under the relevant disclosure sections. It also says the person subject to the notification obligation is not controlled by another natural person or legal entity and does not control any other undertaking holding an interest in the issuer.

The date of completion is listed as 2 November 2026, with Carlisle, England, given as the place of completion. For investors, the update removes a previously disclosed 12.6% stake from the register and clarifies the post-placing ownership position in the UK-listed company.

That piece noted the company’s weaker share performance despite solid results and placed the pressure campaign in the context of wider consolidation across the UK listed real estate sector.
