Athens, Greece. FMR LLC, the parent of Fidelity Investments, increased its indirect voting rights in Greek toy and retail group Jumbo SA to 5.10 per cent, Jumbo said in a corrected announcement. The acquisition took its holding above the 5 per cent disclosure threshold.

Threshold crossed on October 14

According to the notification Jumbo received on October 16, 2026, FMR LLC crossed the threshold on October 14. Its indirect holding reached 6,859,182 voting rights, representing 5.10 per cent of Jumbo’s total, compared with the previously reported 4.99 per cent.

Jumbo said the disclosure complied with Greek Law 3556/2007, the European Union’s Market Abuse Regulation (EU) 596/2014 and the Athens Stock Exchange Regulation.

Alongside FMR LLC, the reported chain included Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC, FIAM Holdings LLC, FIAM LLC, FMTC Holdings LLC and Fidelity Management Trust Company.

Cyprus sales rise during back-to-school season

The higher reported voting-rights holding comes amid sales growth in most of Jumbo’s markets. In a disclosure earlier in October, the retailer reported strong back-to-school trading in Cyprus.

Jumbo said its Cyprus sales were approximately 15 per cent higher year-on-year in September, while the increase for the first nine months of 2026 was around 7 per cent.
