BlackRock crosses the 5% threshold of voting rights at Bureau Veritas

On August 18, 2026, Bureau Veritas announced that BlackRock, Inc., through its management services, had crossed the 5% threshold of voting rights. As of August 17, 2026, BlackRock held 29,082,871 Bureau Veritas shares, representing 6.41% of the share capital and 5.02% of the voting rights.

This crossing resulted from an increase in the number of shares held as collateral. BlackRock exercises voting rights unless clients expressly request that they retain this power. The statement includes common stock, perpetual contracts for difference, and shares held through leverage.

This increased stake reflects the investor's growing commitment to Bureau Veritas. The company, listed on Euronext Paris, is thus seeing a major player strengthen its position within its capital structure.
