Insights

Insider derivatives and governance analyst

Large shareholder gains leveraged exposure via cash‑settled swap, without direct share ownership.

A major holder associated with Kenneth Bryan Dart, through LBS Limited, entered a cash-settled total return swap referencing 1,214,188 Flutter common shares at a reference price of $109.8715, maturing on March 2, 2028. This increases total referenced exposure to 6,254,378 shares.

The swap is derivative, not share ownership, so it does not convey voting rights but does track economic gains and losses versus the reference price. The holder pays monthly interest based on SOFR and receives payments equal to dividends on the referenced shares, aligning economics with equity while remaining cash-settled.

Because the position is indirect and cash-settled, its impact depends on future share price movements and any subsequent adjustments disclosed in later filings. The footnote states Mr. Dart may be deemed a beneficial owner through LBS Limited but expressly disclaims beneficial ownership beyond his pecuniary interest.
