Omissions

• The claim refers to the C25 index specifically but does not name it
• The specific figure of 'more than 60%' is supported by the concentration of foundation-owned companies (particularly Novo Nordisk) in the Danish stock index
• Data from February 2024 shows foreign ownership at 68%, which may seem contradictory, but foundation ownership through share classes can coexist with dispersed ownership
