On 31 March 2022, BaFin imposed an administrative fine amounting to 165,000 euros on Wellington Management Group LLP.
The sanction related to a breach of section 130 (1) of the German Act on Breaches of Administrative Regulations (Ordnungswidrigkeitengesetz – OWiG) in conjunction with section 33 (1) of the German Securities Trading Act (Wertpapierhandelsgesetz – WpHG). Wellington Management Group LLP failed to submit voting rights notifications within the prescribed period.
The company may lodge an appeal against the administrative fine order.
