If the shares have not changed hands then it would

Nope I looked into that already. They can report it. I also looked into how shares change hands and it’s very lengthy so I won’t put in here. But it’s long process to change hands sometimes.
“If LSEg is reporting an increase in institutional holdings (e.g., from 0% to 20%) before the transaction has officially closed and the shares have transferred, it likely means that LSEg has access to information or data related to the pending transaction that is not yet reflected in the SEC filings.
Here are a few possibilities for how this can happen:
1. Contractual Commitments:
• The acquiring party may have already committed to purchasing the shares under a binding agreement, even though the transfer hasn’t happened yet. This is common in mergers or acquisitions, where the buyer has agreed to acquire a certain percentage of shares but is still waiting on regulatory approval or other conditions.
2. Block Trades or Private Transactions:
• Sometimes, shares can be bought or sold in large private transactions or block trades ahead of the public announcement or completion of the transaction. These may not trigger the usual public filings like 13D/13G until the deal is officially completed, but they can still affect ownership percentages in institutional reporting platforms.
3. Advanced Data Access:
• Certain institutional platforms (like Refinitiv or Bloomberg) might report on pending or unreported changes in share ownership based on private data or informal updates. These platforms often have access to more detailed data, including information about pending deals, which could reflect changes in institutional holdings before the official SEC filing is made.
4. Delaying the Filing:
• If the transaction is large, there may be a delayed filing of 13D/13G, especially if the deal is still in progress. The SEC allows a delay in reporting until the deal is finalized, but data aggregators might still show the changes in ownership due to their early access to deal information.
In short, LSEg and similar platforms could report the increased holdings before the official filing, based on either commitments that haven’t yet been fully executed, or advanced access to pending transaction data not yet reflected in SEC filings.“
