Insights

Large cash-settled swap increases Dart’s economic exposure without direct share ownership.

The transaction creates exposure on 852,853 Flutter shares via a total return swap rather than a traditional share purchase. LBS Limited, owned by Kenneth Dart, is the direct counterparty, while Dart may be deemed a beneficial owner through his pecuniary interest.

The swap, referenced at $104.5127 per share and maturing on March 2, 2028, shifts price and dividend economics without voting rights. LBS Limited pays SOFR-based interest and bears downside below the reference price while gaining on upside and dividend equivalents, so the impact depends on future share performance.
