MT Newswires Live03-27

Barclays (BCS) has been hit with a 1.65 million-euro ($1.91 million) fine from the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority for a breach of supervisory duties in connection with contraventions of the German Securities Trading Act.

"Between June 2022 and March 2023, Barclays PLC failed in 26 cases to submit voting rights notifications regarding a single issuer within the prescribed period," BaFin said in a statement on Friday.

Shareholders are required to notify the issuer and BaFin within four trading days if their voting rights reach certain thresholds. "The company did not take sufficient organisational measures to prevent or significantly impede the contraventions," BaFin added.
