The Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway has published a decision imposing a NOK 75,000 fine on SummitTX Capital L.P. for six late notifications of net short positions in Himalaya Shipping. Absent or ineffective reporting procedures contributed to the breaches, which the authority found were negligent and could have been prevented through functioning controls. The positions dated from March to June 2026 and ranged from 0.14% to 0.40% of issued share capital. The longest reporting delay exceeded 12 trading days. Notification requirements apply when net short positions reach or fall below 0.1% of issued share capital and each additional 0.1% threshold. Reports must be submitted by 3:30 p.m. Central European Time on the following trading day. SummitTX attributed the delays to a transition in its compliance function and an administrative oversight. In setting the penalty, the authority treated as mitigating factors that the notifications concerned changes to existing positions and none reached the 0.5% threshold for public disclosure. The fine was reduced to NOK 75,000 after a recalculation established that the actual delays were four trading days shorter than initially notified.
