The UK minimum short selling reporting threshold is 0.1% of the issued share capital of an issuer. A private share notification must be made when the net short position in shares reaches 0.1% of the issued share capital of the company concerned, and again at each 0.1% change above 0.1%. (e.g 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%).
A public share notification must be made when the net short positions of shares reach 0.5% of the issued share capital of the company concerned, and again at each 0.1% change above 0.5%.
Certain shares are exempt from the notification and disclosure requirements in the UK SSR if their principal venue for trading is located outside the UK. For a list of these shares, please see the UK list of exempted shares: https://www.fca.org.uk/publication/documents/uk-list-exempted-shares.xlsx
The position should be reported by 3.30pm on the trading day after the day the position was reached.
