UK Takeover Code Disclosures: No New Dealings Reported

Recent regulatory disclosures under Rules 8.3 and 8.5 of the UK Takeover Code involve companies such as Dundee Precious Metals Inc., LondonMetric Property PLC, Assura PLC, De La Rue PLC, Empresaria Group PLC, and Aviva PLC. These filings, made by exempt principal traders and persons with significant securities interests, confirm that no new positions, dealings, or inducement agreements have occurred, and all open derivative or option positions are reported as 'none.' The disclosure process mandates public declaration of any interests or arrangements that could affect trading or voting, but in the reported cases, such arrangements are absent. Regulatory oversight is provided by the London Stock Exchange and the Takeover Panel, which require prompt and transparent notification. These actions aim to ensure market integrity and transparency during corporate offers or takeovers. Adherence to these disclosure rules is essential for fair market practice in sensitive corporate situations.
