Holding(s) in Company
Christie Group plc (AIM: CTG.L), the leading provider of Professional & Financial Services and Stock & Inventory Systems & Services to the hospitality, leisure, healthcare, medical, childcare & education and retail sectors, announces that it has received a notification from Lord John Lee of Trafford in respect of a change to his notifiable interest in the Company's ordinary shares.
Part of Lord Lee's previously notified interest arose from ordinary shares held by a fund in respect of which he exercised discretionary investment management and, accordingly, was treated as controlling the associated voting rights for the purposes of the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
Following the death of the beneficiary of that fund, Lord Lee has ceased to exercise discretionary investment management in relation to the fund, with responsibility for the fund, including the exercise of voting rights and investment decisions, passing to the executors of the beneficiary's estate. As a result, Lord Lee no longer has an interest in those shares. Accordingly, Lord John Lee is now interested in 1,542,915 ordinary shares in the Company, representing 5.82 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital.
