FULLER SMITH & TURNER PLC

Shareholders of FULLER SMITH & TURNER PLC

FULLER SMITH & TURNER PLC is a public limited company whose ‘A’ Ordinary shares trade on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange under the ticker FSTA. Because its voting shares are admitted to trading on a UK regulated market, Companies House confirms the company has been exempt from the requirement to obtain and record Persons with Significant Control information since 5 September 2018. Major shareholdings are instead disclosed through the UK’s Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules (DTR5) notification regime. The most recent verified TR-1 notifications show Azvalor Asset Management SGIIC SA, a Madrid-based investment manager, holding 3,192,842 voting rights, equivalent to 10.065% of the company’s voting rights, following a threshold crossing on 6 March 2026 (up from a previously notified 5.120%), and Dunarden Limited, of Winchester, England, holding 979,165 voting rights, equivalent to 3.15%, as most recently confirmed with reference to 3 October 2025. The company’s issued share capital also includes unlisted ‘B’ and ‘C’ Ordinary shares, which are held mainly by directors and members of the founding Fuller and Turner families and which, despite representing a minority of the company’s profit entitlement, carry voting rights sufficient to give the founding families effective control of shareholder votes. These figures represent notifiable threshold-crossing disclosures rather than the company’s complete shareholder register.
