On March 17, 2026, Worldline announced that The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. had fallen below the 10% ownership threshold, its indirect stake dropping to 9.98%. This change resulted from an off-market sale of shares. Goldman Sachs now holds 28,348,037 Worldline shares, representing 9.98% of the share capital and 8.62% of the voting rights.

The shareholding is primarily held by Goldman Sachs International, with 9.73% of the capital and 8.40% of the voting rights. Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE, and other entities hold the remaining shares.
