Release according to Article 40, Section 1 of the WpHG

What happened

QIAGEN N.V. said the Dutch financial regulator AFM informed it on October 28, 2026 that Wellington Management Group LLP had released a voting rights notification after a transaction dated October 22, 2026.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

The disclosure shows a large investor's reported voting position in QIAGEN, which can matter to shareholders because large holders may influence decisions. Because the company says it is not responsible for the notification, the AFM register is the record to rely on.

Analyst inference

Large European listed companies must publicly report significant shareholdings, which means ownership stakes, so other investors can see who holds voting power. This filing shows a major asset manager with a small stake in the Dutch diagnostics company, adding ownership detail rather than new operating or financial information.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. The AFM register entry identifies Wellington Management Group LLP as the person obliged to notify and QIAGEN N.V. as the issuing institution, with the transaction dated October 22, 2026. Confirmed
2. Watch whether Wellington Management Group LLP files further notifications, since any change crossing a reporting threshold would require a new disclosure to the AFM. Proposed
3. Because QIAGEN says it is not responsible for the notification's accuracy, investors should treat the AFM register as the primary record of the reported holding. Analyst inference
