Farhad Moshiri has not secured more shares in Everton Football Club.

A screenshot of a listing at Companies House today sparked speculation when it referred to the Everton majority shareholder as "a person with significant control on September 11”.

But Everton officials say that Mr Moshiri is NOT securing more shares and that the situation regarding the club’s shareholding remains exactly the same.

Mr Moshiri already fulfills the criteria to be regarded as a PSC (person of significant control) without acquiring any more shares.

When Moshiri acquired his 49% shareholding in February 2016 there were provisos put in place for him to ultimately buy more shares, but that is not happening at this time.
