LANXESS AG filed a voting rights announcement under Article 40 of the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG) on July 9, the company said. The announcement was disseminated via EQS, a regulatory disclosure service.
Article 40 requires any investor whose voting rights cross a defined threshold – 3%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 50%, or 75% – to notify the issuer and the regulator. The notification must include the exact percentage of voting rights and the reason for the change. Such filings are often the first public indication of a large stake shift in a German listed company.
