Total Voting Rights

What happened

Foresight Technology VCT PLC announced that as of 30 October 2026 it has 49,501,061 FWT Shares and 34,046,589 non-voting Deferred Convertible Preference Shares in issue, with no shares held in Treasury, giving total voting rights of 49,501,061.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

The voting rights figure is the official count investors use to work out whether their stake crosses disclosure thresholds, which means a larger holding may trigger a formal notification to the company and regulators under transparency rules.

Analyst inference

Only voting shares count toward the total, so the large block of non-voting preference shares does not dilute this denominator. Shareholders use it to judge ownership percentages and any notification duties under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. The company states the 49,501,061 figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator when calculating whether they must notify their interest, or a change in interest, in the company. Confirmed
2. Watch whether future share issuances or buybacks change the voting rights total, since any shift would alter the ownership percentage at which notification obligations apply for existing holders. Analyst inference
3. Shareholders calculating their holdings should divide their voting shares by 49,501,061 and compare the result with the applicable disclosure threshold to decide if a notification is required. Proposed
