JPMorgan's Role as Corporate Broker and Adviser to DCC Energy plc

The disclosure identifies JPMorgan Securities Plc as both corporate broker and financial adviser to DCC Energy plc, which triggers the requirement to file under Form 38.5(a) of the Irish Takeover Rules. DCC Energy plc is the energy division associated with DCC plc, an Irish-incorporated international sales, marketing, and distribution group. Because JPMorgan is connected to a party in the offer, its client-serving trading activity in DCC Energy securities must be publicly disclosed under the Irish Takeover Panel's transparency framework. The filing confirms no indemnity, option arrangement, or inducement-to-deal agreements exist between JPMorgan and any party to the offer.

Share Purchases, Sales and Pricing Range Disclosed for 4 November 2026

On 4 November 2026, JPMorgan purchased 49,028 DCC Energy €0.25 ordinary shares at prices between 64.50 GBP and 64.5552 GBP per unit, and sold 102,566 shares at prices between 64.50 GBP and 64.5533 GBP per unit. These transactions were conducted in a client-serving capacity, meaning JPMorgan was acting on behalf of clients rather than taking proprietary positions for its own book. The relatively narrow spread between highest and lowest prices across both purchases and sales reflects activity concentrated within a tight intraday range, though the announcement does not provide further context on the nature of the underlying client instructions.

Cash-Settled Equity Swap Activity Across Multiple Position Adjustments

Alongside outright share dealings, the filing discloses a range of cash-settled equity swap transactions referencing DCC Energy €0.25 ordinary shares. These include decreases to both long and short positions, as well as increases to long and short positions, across numerous tranches at prices ranging broadly between 64.4903 GBP and 64.5552 GBP per unit. The largest single tranche involved 83,403 reference securities at 64.50 GBP. The announcement states no agreements or understandings relating to voting rights or future acquisition or disposal of securities are attached to these derivative positions.

Irish Takeover Panel Regulatory Context for DCC Energy Offer Disclosures

The filing is made pursuant to Rule 38.5(a) of the Irish Takeover Panel Act, 1997, Takeover Rules, 2022, which requires connected exempt principal traders dealing in relevant securities to publicly disclose their activity during an offer period. The disclosure was submitted on 5 November 2026 and lists Natasha Mondon as the contact. The announcement states the offer is a cash offer, with field 1(e) marked "N/A", indicating no additional offeror or offeree disclosures are required. Investors monitoring DCC Energy plc should continue to review regulatory filings as further dealing disclosures may follow under the same Irish Takeover Panel framework.
