Shareholders of ROYAL UNIBREW A/S
Danish disclosure rules require investors to notify Royal Unibrew A/S once their holding crosses 5% of share capital or voting rights, so the shareholder information available is major shareholders only rather than the complete shareholder base. As of the information reviewed on 18 September 2026, two shareholders have disclosed a qualifying holding.
Chr. Augustinus Fabrikker A/S, the Danish investment company of the Augustinus Foundation, holds 14.94% of the share capital and voting rights, notified 30 May 2022. Wellington Management Group LLP, a US-based asset manager, holds 5.45% of the share capital and voting rights following transactions on 24 and 28 April 2026 that increased its holding from 5.06%. Both are direct holdings; no share class distinctions were disclosed.
No other shareholders have publicly disclosed a qualifying holding. The remaining share capital is held by institutional and individual investors below the statutory notification threshold, consistent with Royal Unibrew A/S’s status as a Nasdaq Copenhagen-listed company.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
No individual ultimate beneficial owner can be reliably identified from the available disclosures. Chr. Augustinus Fabrikker A/S is itself controlled by the Augustinus Foundation (Augustinus Fonden), a Danish commercial foundation, but no source reviewed provides a complete ownership chain or percentage sufficient to calculate an effective individual beneficial-ownership figure in Royal Unibrew A/S.
Data availability
Shareholder disclosure for Royal Unibrew A/S is major shareholders only: Danish rules require notification only above the statutory threshold, so shareholders below 5% are not individually identified in public sources.
