The filing, signed by Macquarie’s company secretary Simone Kovacic and dated 27 March 2026, formalises the change in Macquarie’s relevant interest and association regarding voting securities in Downer, signaling a reduction in institutional ownership that may marginally alter the company’s share register composition and governance dynamics.
