Cape Town - The Public Investment Corporation (PIC) has bumped its stake in Reinet Investments, the Rupert family-controlled investment vehicle, to 10.65%.
Reinet disclosed this significant shareholding by the PIC, which ranks as SA's biggest investor, on Tuesday afternoon.
It would seem the PIC has been adding to its position in Reinet during recent months.
According to Reinet's annual report to end-March 2009, the PIC had disclosed a 6.06% share in the company as at October 2008.
This, of course, was prior to Reinet's partial capital reduction by way of the distribution of British American Tobacco (BAT) shares to shareholders in early November 2008 and the rights issue held in December 2008.
But the PIC would be obliged - under the laws of Luxembourg, where Reinet holds its primary listing - to declare when its interest in the company either fell below 5% or increased above 10% of the voting rights.
The PIC's holding in Reinet is worth about R2.2bn. This would make Reinet a fairly significant holding in the state-controlled investor's R700bn investment portfolio.
