Wellington Management Increases Stake in Metro Bank Holdings PLC

Wellington Management Company LLP has crossed the crucial 5% threshold in its holding of voting rights. On August 7, 2026, Wellington reported holding 5.36% of the voting rights attached to shares in the UK-based Metro Bank.

This move was confirmed by a notification received by Metro Bank on August 10. Wellington Management Company LLP, based in the US, manages assets for various funds and managed accounts.
