Norges Bank's 387,806 Indirectly Held Shares Push Stake Above 3% Threshold

According to the filing, Norges Bank holds 387,806 shares in Nagarro SE indirectly under Section 34 of the WpHG, equating to 3.00% of voting rights attached to shares. No shares are held directly under Section 33. In addition, 16,676 voting rights representing 0.13% are held via instruments classified as shares lent or otherwise transferred with recall rights at any time, as defined under Section 38(1) no. 1 WpHG. The previous notification recorded a combined position of 3.08%, meaning the total has edged up by 0.05 percentage points, sufficient to trigger a fresh statutory disclosure under German securities law.

Norway's Ministry of Finance Named as Notifying Entity in Sovereign Ownership Chain

The person subject to the notification obligation is Norway's Ministry of Finance, acting on behalf of the State of Norway. The announcement confirms that the Ministry of Finance is not controlled by, nor does it control, any other undertaking holding an interest in Nagarro SE, beyond the disclosed chain. The full control structure identified in the filing runs from the State of Norway at the apex, through Norges Bank, which directly holds the 3.00% share-linked voting rights. This structure is consistent with Norway's Government Pension Fund Global, which routinely acquires minority equity positions in listed companies globally.

Nagarro SE's German Regulatory Obligations Triggered by WpHG Threshold Crossing

Nagarro SE is incorporated in Germany and listed with LEI code 9845008396BA67DA9B37. The company operates as a global technology and software engineering services provider. As a German-listed entity, Nagarro is subject to WpHG transparency rules, which require shareholders crossing defined voting rights thresholds to notify the issuer and the market. The 3% level is the first mandatory reporting threshold under German law, meaning Norges Bank's crossing of this level on 12 November 2026 obligated prompt public disclosure. Future movements above 4%, 5%, or higher incremental thresholds would require further notifications.
