Mawer Investment Management remains the largest institutional investor in On The Beach, with a holding of 12.3%.

Baillie Gifford & Co has a stake of 5.19% while AXA Investment Managers UK holds 4.9% of shares in On The Beach.

The move comes after On The Beach said in December that it is "well positioned" for 2022 despite its revenue falling by more than a third during its latest financial year.

The company posted a revenue of £21.2m for the 12 months to the end of September 2021, down from the £33.7m it posted during the same period in 2020.

It also confirmed that its pre-tax losses were cut from £46.3m to £36.7m.
