Raba (ISIN HU0000073457) published a share-ownership disclosure on October 9, 2026, one day after its extraordinary meeting elected four directors, according to Raba. The governance change followed a September 3 ownership shift in which CSG Defence acquired a 36.55 percent indirect stake and 36.88 percent indirect influence, as Portfolio reported.

Three steps changed governance

The ownership change came first on September 3, 2026, when CSG Defence took the 36.55 percent indirect stake. On September 22, 2026, Raba presented proposals for four new board members, including Kristijan Fiket as vice-chair. On October 8, 2026, the extraordinary general meeting adopted the resolutions, according to the Budapest Stock Exchange.

What does the 36.55 percent stake mean?

The new board structure gives the ownership agreement an operational form. Portfolio reported that 4iG retained a 38.04 percent indirect stake and 38.38 percent indirect influence after the September transaction, while the free float stood at 25.42 percent. The figures point to a concentrated ownership structure rather than a dispersed shareholder base. That makes board composition a material governance issue for Raba, even though the published disclosures do not provide a new operating forecast.

Raba stays tied to automotive exports

Raba supplies chassis, chassis assemblies and automotive components to the European Union, the CIS countries and the United States. Its production sites are in Gy?r, Mór and Sárvár, and its shares are listed in the Premium category of the Budapest Stock Exchange, according to the company's investor-relations page. The October governance decisions therefore matter alongside the group's export exposure and its role as a publicly traded Hungarian automotive supplier.
