BlackRock, acting on behalf of clients and funds, reported to the AMF that on February 3 it crossed above the thresholds of 5% of the share capital and voting rights of Nexans, and now holds, on behalf of those clients and funds, 5.09% of the share capital and voting rights of the cable manufacturer.

The American asset management giant specified that this threshold crossing resulted from an acquisition of Nexans shares on the market and an increase in the number of shares held as collateral.
