One of LafargeHolcim’s biggest shareholders, Nassef Sawiris, reduced his stake in the company by nearly 1.6m shares in December 2018. The shares had a value of over CHF66m (US$67.5m), according to a report by Handelszeitung.

Mr Sawiris now holds just under 21m shares in the company, representing just over three per cent. He was once the third-largest shareholder behind Thomas Schmidheiny and Belgium’s Groupe Bruxelles Lambert (GBL).
