JPMorgan's Combined Position in Gamma Communications Rises to 9.616516%

The TR-1 filing submitted to Gamma Communications on 3 November 2026 confirms that JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s total voting rights position rose from 8.844398% at the previous notification to 9.616516% as of 30 October 2026. Of this total, 2.753400% is derived from 2,458,375 shares held indirectly, while the remaining 6.863116% arises from financial instruments. The total number of voting rights held across both categories amounts to 8,586,113.

Cash-Settled Equity Swaps Form the Majority of JPMorgan's Gamma Exposure

The bulk of JPMorgan's position in Gamma Communications is structured through a large and varied portfolio of cash-settled equity swaps, which collectively account for 6,127,738 voting rights equivalent, or 6.863116% of total voting rights. These instruments, held under DTR5.3.1R.(1)(b), carry expiration dates ranging from mid-2027 through to July 2033. Cash-settled swaps do not confer direct voting rights and are settled in cash rather than through physical delivery of shares, meaning the economic exposure does not automatically translate into shareholder influence. The filing attributes these instruments to J.P. Morgan Securities PLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary within the JPMorgan Chase & Co. group structure.

J.P. Morgan Securities PLC Named as Shareholder Within JPMorgan Group Chain

The notification identifies J.P. Morgan Securities PLC as the relevant shareholder entity, operating within a chain of controlled undertakings ultimately controlled by JPMorgan Chase & Co., a US-registered entity. The chain runs through JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, J.P. Morgan International Finance Limited, and J.P. Morgan Capital Holdings Limited, each held at 100% ownership. A separate chain through J.P. Morgan SE is also referenced. J.P. Morgan Securities PLC's total combined position, including financial instruments, is stated at 8.898908% within the group disclosure, reflecting the specific instruments allocated to that entity within the wider JPMorgan holding.
