While the notification reports a percentage dilution in Ninety One plc from 33.01% to 31.19% due to 'recent issuances of shares', the data reveals an actual increase in shares held (from ~205.5m to ~209.7m), contradicting any bearish narrative of a sell-down. The confirmation that voting rights are calculated on a 'joint electorate basis' ensures regulatory stability without triggering mandatory offer provisions.
