Insights

Large cash-settled swap increases Dart‑related economic exposure to Flutter shares.

This filing shows LBS Limited, owned by Kenneth Bryan Dart, entering a new Total Return Swap on 659,049 notional Flutter shares at a reference price of $93.6257. It is classified as an open‑market purchase of a derivative, not common stock.

The swap is cash‑settled at maturity on March 2, 2028, with no voting rights or direct ownership of shares. Dart‑related entities now have exposure tied to 15,257,655 notional shares via swaps, while he formally disclaims beneficial ownership beyond his pecuniary interest.

Total Return Swap financial
"LBS Limited entered a new Total Return Swap referencing 659,049 Flutter Entertainment common shares"
A total return swap is a private contract where one party pays the full economic performance of an asset (income plus price changes) to another party, while receiving a set payment such as a fixed rate or short-term interest in return. It matters to investors because it lets someone gain or shed exposure to an asset’s gains or losses without owning it, offering a way to borrow, hedge, or take leveraged positions while relying on the other party to make payments.
notional shares financial
"LBS Limited is the party to the reported transaction and direct "holder" of the "notional" shares"
SOFR financial
"The Swap requires the Reporting Person to pay monthly interest ... at a rate based on SOFR"
The Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) is a market benchmark that measures the cost of borrowing cash overnight using U.S. Treasury securities as collateral. Investors watch SOFR because it acts like a speedometer for short-term interest costs—affecting loan rates, bond yields and the pricing of interest-rate contracts—so movements change borrowing expenses, cash returns and the value of interest-sensitive investments.
beneficially own financial
"Mr. Dart may be deemed to beneficially own the reported securities but disclaims such beneficial ownership"
Beneficially own means having the economic rights and risks of a security—such as the right to receive dividends, sell the shares, or profit from price changes—whether or not your name appears on the official share register. Think of it like renting a car: you use it and reap the benefits even if the title lists someone else. Investors care because beneficial ownership determines who truly controls value, must be disclosed under securities rules, and can signal potential influence or trading activity that affects a stock’s price.
pecuniary interest financial
