Recent Disclosure Filings Under the Takeover Code
Ramsdens has been the subject of several disclosure filings in the wake of a takeover offer. On 21 October 2026, the company reported that an offer period had commenced at a nominal share price. The offeror, Autobuses de León, S.L., disclosed a public opening‑position statement indicating a very modest holding of one‑penny ordinary shares and no significant short positions.
Other filings from that period include:
| Filers | Position | Shares | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jefferies International Limited | One‑penny shares | 1,000 | Acting as exempt principal trader; matching sale confirms limited liquidity movement |
| St. James’s Place Investment Management Limited | One‑penny shares | 463,619 | Minor sale recorded; position remains below 1 % of the issue |
| Ramsdens Holdings plc | – | – | No large block trades or derivatives disclosed; all positions under 1 % |
Collectively, these filings paint a picture of restrained market activity. No substantial block trades or derivative positions have been reported, and all positions remain well below the 1 % threshold, suggesting that the takeover bid has yet to generate significant investor response.
