Molten Ventures Plc Notices a Change in Major Shareholding

Molten Ventures Plc has disclosed a significant alteration in its shareholding structure, as reported on March 20, 2024. The notice identifies a shift in voting rights, marking an event that has influenced the company's breakdown of voting powers. The central figure in this notification is the National Treasury Management Agency (NTMA), acting in its capacity as controller and manager of the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund (ISIF), operating under the aegis of the Minister for Finance of Ireland.

On March 15, 2024, it was reported that the threshold was crossed or reached, leading to a notification made on March 19, 2024. Following this event, the total voting rights connected to shares stood at 7.41%, a decrease from the previous 8.04%. This transition reflects the voting rights tied solely to the ownership of ordinary shares, without any intervention through financial instruments. Noteworthy is the disclosure that no financial instruments with a similar economic effect were employed in altering these voting rights.

The modification finds its roots in the holdings managed by the NTMA for ISIF, underlining a streamlined control structure. This adjustment in Molten Ventures Plc’s shareholding scheme highlights the dynamic nature of equity ownership within significant corporations, particularly those with cross-national investment interests such as the ISIF’s involvement in the UK-based entity.
