European Lithium Limited (ASX: EUR) witnessed strong buying momentum on Tuesday, with its shares climbing 8.65% to AU$0.282, up AU$0.022 for the session. The rally came after the company disclosed a Form 603, revealing that Weiss Asset Management LP and its affiliated entities (Weiss Group) had become a substantial shareholder, holding a 5.06% voting power in the company as of 31 July 2026.

Institutional Investor Enters the Register

According to the filing, the Weiss Group holds a relevant interest in 87.35 million fully paid ordinary shares, representing 5.06% of European Lithium's issued capital. The interest is held through Brookdale International Partners, Brookdale Global Opportunity Fund, Weiss Asset Management LP, BIP GP LLC, WAM GP LLC and Andrew Weiss under various provisions of the Corporations Act. The notice also details that the shares are registered through several custodians, including BNP Paribas Securities Services and HSBC Custody Nominees, reflecting the institutional nature of the holding.

A Steady Accumulation Strategy

The Form 603 outlines a lengthy series of acquisitions made between May and July 2026, with Weiss Group progressively increasing its exposure through numerous market purchases at varying price levels. The filing also records a limited number of disposals and exercises of listed options into ordinary shares during the period. In addition, Annexure A discloses that the Weiss Group holds cash-settled long equity swap positions with Merrill Lynch and Nomura as counterparties. The filing notes that European Lithium is understood to be the subject of a scheme of arrangement and clarifies that these derivative positions do not confer voting power.
