The global financial services group has continued to reduce its stake in the owner/operator of land lease and rental communities and holiday parks.

Macquarie Bank had a significant voting power of 10.92% in April last year, but the substantial shareholder has subsequently sold down its shareholding. On 4 April, Ingenia Communities announced Macquarie Bank now owned a 7.42% stake.

This follows David Di Pilla’s HMC Capital reducing its 8% stake in Ingenia Communities and ceasing to be a substantial stakeholder on 1 April.

The changes in Macquarie’s interest include control over voting rights and disposal of securities through various entities such as Macquarie Asset Management and Macquarie Bank Limited.
