Registers compared: France, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom. Holder registers publish a position from 0.5% of the share capital and the UK publishes one total per company from 0.2%, so a smaller position is invisible on both dates and a total can move because a holder crossed the threshold, not only because a position changed. A company is linked when it is in the insider-buying ranking. This is what the registers show, not a signal.
