M&G Plc's Total Stake in Mony Group Rises to 5.488696% Following November Transaction

According to the TR-1 notification, M&G Plc's resulting position as of 6 November 2026 comprises 5.025186% of voting rights attached directly to shares, alongside 0.463510% held through financial instruments, bringing the combined total to 5.488696%. This compares with the previous notification, in which M&G held 4.184543% in direct share voting rights and 1.036625% through financial instruments, for a prior total of 5.221168%. The total number of voting rights now held in the issuer is recorded as 28,082,038, all held indirectly through M&G Investment Management Limited.

Indirect Holdings Held Through M&G Investment Management Limited via Wholly Owned Subsidiary Chain

The notification details a chain of controlled undertakings through which the voting rights are effectively held. M&G Plc sits as the ultimate controlling entity, with the rights flowing through M&G Group Regulated Entity Holding Company Limited, then M&G Group Limited, followed by M&G FA Limited, and ultimately held by M&G Investment Management Limited, each a wholly owned subsidiary of the entity above it. All 25,710,564 shares carrying voting rights are held indirectly, with zero held on a direct basis, as disclosed in section 8A of the TR-1 form.

Lent Shares Account for 0.463510% of M&G's Financial Instruments Position in MONY

The financial instruments component of M&G's position consists entirely of lent shares held under a right of recall, totalling 2,371,474 voting rights, equivalent to 0.463510% of Mony Group's total voting rights. No financial instruments with similar economic effect under DTR5.3.1R.(1)(b) were reported. The shift in composition between the previous and current notifications — with direct share voting rights increasing while the financial instruments component decreased — reflects a rebalancing within M&G's overall exposure to Mony Group rather than a straightforward increase in total position size.
