Jeremy Attard-Manche Raises TruFin Stake to 7.11% via Direct Share Acquisition

His previous notified position stood at 6.01%, representing 3,420,375 voting rights.

TruFin plc Shareholder Structure and DTR5 Disclosure Requirements

Under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules, shareholders must notify both the issuer and the FCA when their voting rights cross certain percentage thresholds — including the 7% level reached in this instance. TruFin plc, whose shares carry the ISIN code JE00BYVWJZ03, is subject to these UK major shareholding disclosure obligations. The notification confirms that Attard-Manche is not controlled by any natural person or legal entity, and does not control any other undertaking that holds an interest in TruFin, meaning the entire position is held directly without any intermediary corporate structure involved.

What the Increased Position Signals for TruFin Investors

The increase from 6.01% to 7.11% represents an addition of 412,500 voting rights and places Attard-Manche among TruFin's more significant disclosed individual shareholders. The announcement states that this change results purely from an acquisition of voting rights rather than any structural event such as a share capital reduction or reclassification. TruFin operates in the financial technology sector, and concentration of a meaningful stake by a Malta-based individual investor could be of interest to the broader market, though the company did not disclose any commentary on the transaction within this regulatory filing.
