Several major financial institutions disclosed changes in their voting rights in Lanxess AG, a German specialty chemicals company, under the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG). Bank of America Corporation, JPMorgan Chase & Co., DWS Investment GmbH, and Goldman Sachs, Inc. each filed notifications with Lanxess regarding their holdings as of late August 2026.

JPMorgan Chase reported a total of 4.79% (1.38% shares and 3.41% instruments), down from 5.02%. DWS Investment GmbH reported a decrease to 2.83% from 3.03%, citing the return of equity collateral.

These filings reflect changes in the institutions' positions, likely due to trading, derivatives, and collateral arrangements, and are part of routine regulatory disclosures.
