What holders ask about United Kingdom.
01How do you execute a United Kingdom block trade?
We work the line off the order book, off-market or at a negotiated price, and the block is then printed to London Stock Exchange (LSE) under its block-trade rules. Black Haven Investments can take all or part of the risk on the line, so the seller achieves a clean exit at an agreed price.
02How large a block can you handle in United Kingdom?
It depends on the stock’s free float, daily traded volume and volatility. We assess each line on its merits and indicate a workable size and price range after reviewing the position.
03Does the block trade have to be disclosed?
Often, yes. A substantial transfer by a significant shareholder is generally disclosable under the relevant regime overseen by FCA. We manage the sequencing and wording of any required notification around the trade.
04Can you finance the buyer of the block?
Yes. A block can be paired with a stock loan to the acquirer, so the newly acquired United Kingdom-listed line serves immediately as collateral for the financing that funds it.
