Man Group PLC filed a Form 8.3 disclosure with regulators regarding DCC Plc, according to a notice published via GlobalNewswire on April 27. The filing represents a mandatory transparency requirement under the UK Takeover Panel's disclosure rules, which compel institutional investors to publicly declare relevant interests or dealings in companies subject to offer periods once certain ownership thresholds are crossed.
