Societe Generale Increases Stake in Britvic plc

On December 19, 2024, Britvic plc announced that Societe Generale has increased its holdings in the company, crossing a significant voting rights threshold. The French banking institution now holds 6.581% of voting rights in Britvic, up from a previously declared 5.409%. This increase in voting rights follows an acquisition of shares, which was completed on December 18, 2024. All voting rights held by Societe Generale are attached directly to shares, for a total of 16,380,806 voting rights.

Societe Generale, registered in London, remains a key shareholder in Britvic. No financial instruments were used to increase the stake, as reflected in the absence of voting rights through financial instruments. This change represents a pivotal development among major shareholders, highlighting the institution’s strategic interests in Britvic’s future direction.
