Sources & review notesEvidence checked through 2026-10-31

Coverage and limitations

  • The 20 registered accounts total 2,458,791,376 shares or 76.25% on 10 August 2026; nominee names do not identify ultimate holders.
  • MUFG, First Sentier and Morgan Stanley disclose overlapping relevant interests; these groups and nominee accounts must not be added. Voting interests can reflect lending, derivatives, or contractual rights rather than economic beneficial ownership.
  • First Sentier calls 304,800,657 votes ordinary shares on 26 October; MUFG’s contemporaneous notice reports 303,800,657 ordinary-share votes and 1,000,000 option votes. The 1,000,000 discrepancy is unresolved, so First Sentier ordinary-share quantity is withheld.
  • The 2026 annual report also identifies POS-LT as convertible-bond holder; future conversion shares are unknown and excluded.
  • GFL International ceased substantial status on 27 January 2026; cessation does not establish zero ownership.
  • BlackRock’s May 2026 notice is historical and holdings below reporting thresholds may change without notice.
