We were discussing on thread a few days ago about UBS AG becoming a substantial holder then dropping below the threshold a day or two later. Sub holder posted notice 1 feb contained Registered holders on behalf of UBS were Citicorp Nominees (61000) and Brispot Nominees 2,700,000 shares.

A day later they ceased to be sub holder by selling 750k shares for $522,075 = average 69.6c

Someone was suggesting that the top 20 were likely to be part of the 'free float' as they were now selling into the strength. This may well be the case, as I Noticed Grange have offloaded a few, not that many though.

Also I cannot see anything to do with UBS or Citicorp or Brispot in the following top 20 list. Does anyone know on an association with any in the list?

If not that may mean UBS only started to buy/trade recently. Quite possible as you only need a couple of million shares to become a substantial holder.
