The filing shows a Total Return Swap referencing 295,794 shares at $99.7613 per share, maturing on March 2, 2028. This is an economic bet on Flutter’s share price and dividends, not a direct share purchase with voting rights.

Total Return Swap financial
"The reference price for the Swap is $99.7613 per share."
A total return swap is a private contract where one party pays the full economic performance of an asset (income plus price changes) to another party, while receiving a set payment such as a fixed rate or short-term interest in return. It matters to investors because it lets someone gain or shed exposure to an asset’s gains or losses without owning it, offering a way to borrow, hedge, or take leveraged positions while relying on the other party to make payments.
notional shares financial
"direct "holder" of the "notional" shares."
pecuniary interest financial
"disclaims such beneficial ownership except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein."
OBFR financial
"at a rate based on OBFR."
beneficially own financial
"Mr. Dart may be deemed to beneficially own the reported securities"
Beneficially own means having the economic rights and risks of a security—such as the right to receive dividends, sell the shares, or profit from price changes—whether or not your name appears on the official share register. Think of it like renting a car: you use it and reap the benefits even if the title lists someone else. Investors care because beneficial ownership determines who truly controls value, must be disclosed under securities rules, and can signal potential influence or trading activity that affects a stock’s price.
