BlackRock, acting on behalf of clients and funds, has declared to the AMF that on January 31 it crossed below the threshold of 5% of Safran's share capital and held 4.99% of the share capital and 3.92% of the voting rights of the aircraft engine and equipment manufacturer.
The American asset management giant explained that this threshold crossing was the result of an off-market and on-market sale of Safran shares, as well as a reduction in the number of shares held as collateral.
