Brewin Dolphin's 587,933-Share Position in DCC Energy plc Triggers Mandatory Irish Takeover Panel Filing

The disclosure was filed because Brewin Dolphin Wealth Management Limited's aggregate holding of 587,933 ordinary shares in DCC Energy plc meets or exceeds the 1% threshold that triggers mandatory reporting obligations under Rule 8.3 of the Irish Takeover Rules, 2022. DCC Energy plc, the offeree company named in the form, is an energy business incorporated in Ireland, with its shares listed as CDIs (Certificated Depository Interests) denominated in euros at EUR0.25 par value. The filing confirms no short positions, cash-settled derivatives, or stock-settled derivatives are held alongside the outright share interest, and no supplemental Form 8 was attached to the disclosure.

Sale of 1,260 DCC Energy CDI Shares at £64.525 Recorded on 9 November 2026

Alongside the opening position disclosure, Brewin Dolphin reported a single dealing transaction: the sale of 1,260 ordinary CDI shares in DCC Energy plc at a price of £64.525 per unit, executed on 9 November 2026. This transaction reduced the firm's holding to the 587,933 shares disclosed as the total position. No purchases were reported on the same date, and no cash-settled or stock-settled derivative transactions accompanied the sale. The disclosure confirms there are no indemnity arrangements, option agreements, or other formal understandings relating to the relevant securities that might constitute an inducement to deal or refrain from dealing.
