The TR-1 regulatory filing confirms that JPMorgan's combined position — previously recorded at 5.078143% of total voting rights — has now dropped below the reportable minimum as of 9 November 2026.

JPMorgan's Previous 5.08% Combined Stake in HVPE Now Below Reportable Minimum

According to the TR-1 form filed with the issuer and completed in London on 11 November 2026, JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s most recently disclosed combined position in HVPE stood at 5.078143% of total voting rights. This comprised 3.772791% attached directly to shares and a further 1.305352% held through financial instruments under DTR5. Both components have now individually and collectively fallen below the minimum threshold, meaning no specific percentage figure is reportable for the current position. The notification obligation was triggered on 9 November 2026, the date on which the threshold was crossed.

J.P. Morgan Securities PLC and J.P. Morgan SE Named as Holding Entities Within JPMorgan Chain

The filing identifies J.P. Morgan Securities PLC as the principal named shareholder through which the stake was held, acting as a controlled undertaking of JPMorgan Chase & Co. The disclosure also references J.P. Morgan SE within the corporate chain. The full ownership structure described in the announcement runs from JPMorgan Chase & Co. through JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, then J.P. Morgan International Finance Limited, J.P. Morgan Capital Holdings Limited, and finally to J.P. Morgan Securities PLC — each held at 100%. A parallel chain leads to J.P. Morgan SE via the same intermediate entities.

What the Threshold Crossing Means Under DTR5 Transparency Rules

Under UK Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, major shareholders must notify issuers when their voting rights cross specified percentage thresholds in either direction. A fall below the minimum notifiable threshold obligates the holder to file a TR-1 form confirming that the position is no longer disclosable. HVPE, as a non-UK issuer with ISIN GG00BR30MJ80, is subject to these notification requirements. The company itself is a listed private equity vehicle that provides investors with access to HarbourVest Partners' global private markets programme, spanning primary fund commitments, secondary investments, and direct co-investments across international markets.
