Beacon Stone Capital VCC and its Persons Acting in Concert (PACs) reduced their stake in CLN Energy Ltd to 4.83% following an open market sale of 270,000 shares on September 16, 2026.

What the Numbers Show

The reduction in stake indicates a partial exit strategy by the investment vehicle, moving the group below the 5% threshold often associated with significant institutional block holdings. With the total diluted voting capital remaining unchanged at 10,553,250 shares, the entire change in percentage ownership is attributable solely to the open market divestment rather than any corporate action like rights issues or buybacks.

The acquirer confirmed that none of the shares held are encumbered by pledge or lien. The group is not part of the promoter or promoter group of CLN Energy Ltd.
