Shareholders of F.B.D. Holdings public limited company
As a company listed on Euronext Dublin, FBD Holdings plc discloses shareholdings that exceed the statutory notification threshold under Irish transparency rules (holdings above 3% of voting share capital). According to the company’s own investor relations disclosures, as at 30 June 2026 the major shareholders were Farmer Business Developments plc with 27.8% of issued share capital, FBD Trust Co Ltd with 18.3%, Sretaw PE DAC with 10%, and M&G Investment Management Ltd with 3.8%. Farmer Business Developments plc, the largest single shareholder, traces its origins to the cooperative structure through which Irish farmers capitalised the group when it was founded in 1969, before the group’s trading entities were consolidated under FBD Holdings plc on flotation in 1988. This is a major-shareholders-only disclosure: holdings below the 3% notification threshold are not individually identified, so the listed holdings do not represent the company’s complete shareholder register.
Data availability
Shareholder information for FBD Holdings plc is major shareholders only. As an Euronext Dublin-listed company, FBD Holdings plc discloses only holdings that cross statutory notification thresholds; no natural person currently appears among the disclosed holders at a level that would support identifying a verified ultimate beneficial owner.
