A new disclosure has been submitted via GlobalNewswire covering positions related to both LondonMetric Property and Schroder Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), two notable names in the UK property investment space.
Form 8.3 is a regulatory requirement under the UK Takeover Code. When someone holds 1% or more of a company's shares during an offer period — meaning when a takeover bid is active or being considered — they're legally required to disclose their dealings publicly. It's essentially a transparency tool designed to keep markets honest and investors informed about who is buying or selling around a potential deal.
