In line with Belgian transparency legislation (Law of May 2, 2007), UBS Group AG recently sent to Solvay the following transparency notification indicating that they crossed the threshold of 3%. 

The notification, dated September 24, 2024, contains the following information:

  • Reason for the notification:

    • Downward crossing of the lowest threshold
  • Notified by: A parent undertaking or a controlling person

  • Threshold of direct voting rights crossed: 3% downwards
  • Denominator: 105,876,416 
  • Additional information: The disclosure obligation arose due to the total indirect holdings of UBS Group AG in voting rights of Solvay SA, held directly by controlled undertakings falling below 3% on 18 September 2024. This was caused by a reduction in the Trading Book holdings of the aforementioned entities below 5% and therefore being exempt from reporting.
  • Persons subject to the notification requirement: UBS Group AG (Bahnhofstrasse 45, 8001 Zürich).

Solvay Feedback conference call
