Downing LLP has notified Anpario PLC of a change in its major holding, with its total voting rights now standing at 3.12%, representing 638,232 shares. This is a decrease from a previous notification of 4.09% on July 7, 2022, however, the company clarifies this reduction was due to a transfer of a 2.59% holding to Foresight Group LLP without a notification trigger, and Downing LLP has since increased its holding on behalf of client funds.
