Morgan Stanley Crosses and Then Falls Below 3% Threshold in Solvay Capital
The American group Morgan Stanley filed several threshold crossing declarations with Solvay between late December 2025 and mid-January 2026, according to a statement released this Monday by the Belgian chemical company.
On December 23, 2025, the American bank held no direct voting rights or any similar financial instruments. By January 9, 2026, its position was at 0.04% in direct voting rights and 3.16% through financial instruments equivalent to voting rights, totaling 3.20%. On January 12, 2026, these holdings were respectively at 0.01% and 2.77%, totaling 2.77%.
The latest notification, dated January 16, 2026, confirms the fall below the 3% threshold of direct voting rights, according to the statement. The threshold crossing in question, which occurred on January 12, 2026, resulted from either an acquisition or a disposal of shares conferring voting rights. The denominator used for the calculation is set at 105,876,416 shares.
Complete notifications as well as the detailed chain of controlled entities through which the stake is effectively held are available in the Investor Relations section of Solvay's website, the company specifies. The Belgian chemist, which reported a net profit of 4.7 billion euros in 2024, employs about 9,000 staff worldwide. The group is listed on Euronext Brussels and Paris under the ticker SOLB.
