Shareholders of BTG Consulting PLC
BTG Consulting PLC is admitted to trading on AIM. Under the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, only holders of 3% or more of voting rights are required to notify the company, so the shareholder information published for this company reflects major institutional holdings rather than a complete shareholder register. The disclosed major holders are collective investment funds managed by third-party asset managers, not individuals.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
Companies House records Mr Richard William Traynor as the only active Person with Significant Control (PSC) for BTG Consulting PLC, notified on 17 May 2018, on the stated basis that he “has significant influence or control” over the company. Companies House does not attach an ownership percentage to this category of control. An earlier, now-ceased PSC entry for the same individual, notified 24 July 2017 and ceased 16 May 2018, recorded direct ownership of shares and voting rights of more than 25% but not exceeding 50%, indicating that his direct shareholding fell below the 25% threshold by May 2018.
Data availability
Shareholder disclosure for this AIM-listed company is classified as Major shareholders only, since publicly available data covers holders above the statutory notification threshold rather than the full shareholder base. Beneficial ownership information is classified as Partial: a PSC is identified by nature of influence rather than a disclosed ownership percentage.
