Spheria Asset Management Drops Below Substantial Holder Threshold in NZX

An announcement from NZX ( (NZSTF) ) is now available.

Spheria Asset Management Pty Ltd has disclosed that it has ceased to be a substantial product holder in NZX Limited, reducing its stake in the exchange operator’s ordinary shares from 6.198% to 4.1683%. The change in status follows a series of on-market share purchases and sales, as well as an in-specie transfer out of 4.4 million shares, which collectively lowered Spheria’s holding below the 5% substantial holder threshold.

The revised holding leaves Spheria with 13.7 million NZX shares out of a total 329.2 million on issue, indicating a significant but no longer substantial institutional position in the company. This shift may alter NZX’s shareholder composition and slightly reduce the influence of Spheria in governance matters, though NZX remains widely held and continues to be supported by a broad base of domestic and international investors.
