6 terms

share buy-back programme financial

"These share purchases form part of the on- and off-market limbs of the Company's existing share buy-back programme"

A share buy-back programme is when a company purchases its own shares from the market. This reduces the total number of shares available, which can increase the value of remaining shares and signal confidence in the company's future. For investors, it can be a sign that the company believes its stock is undervalued and may lead to higher share prices.

on-market financial

"The on-market limb will be effected within certain pre-set parameters"

On-market describes buying or selling shares directly through a public stock exchange at the current market price, rather than by a private or negotiated deal. Like buying an item from a store at the posted price instead of haggling privately, on-market trades happen quickly, are visible to other investors, and can move the stock price, so they affect liquidity and provide a transparent signal about supply and demand.

off-market financial

"The off-market limb will be effected in accordance with the Company’s general authority to repurchase shares off-market"

Off-market describes a trade or transfer of securities that happens outside a public exchange, where buyers and sellers negotiate directly or use private arrangements rather than submitting orders on the open market. It matters to investors because these deals can change who controls a company or alter share supply without the usual public price signals, like selling a car privately instead of through a dealership — you may get a different price and the wider market may not immediately react.

eu mar regulatory

"Article 5 of the Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014/EU dealing with buy-back programmes (“EU MAR”)"

EU MAR is the European Union’s Market Abuse Regulation, a set of rules designed to keep financial markets fair by stopping insider trading and market manipulation and by requiring timely, accurate public disclosure of inside information. Think of it as traffic laws for trading: it sets who can share sensitive information, how it must be disclosed, and penalties for breaking the rules, which matters to investors because stronger rules reduce surprises, boost trust, and affect companies’ legal and reporting costs.

uk mar regulatory

"and EU MAR as “onshored” into UK law ... from time to time (“UK MAR”)"

UK MAR is the UK Market Abuse Regulation, a set of laws designed to prevent insider trading, market manipulation and other dishonest practices in financial markets while setting rules for how companies must disclose important information. It matters to investors because it helps ensure a fair playing field and timely, reliable disclosures so price changes reflect real news rather than secret deals—think of it as the rulebook that keeps the market honest and predictable.

off-market buyback contract financial

"pursuant to the off-market buyback contract approved by its shareholders"

An off-market buyback contract is an agreement where a company agrees to repurchase its shares directly from a specific investor or group of investors, outside of the regular stock exchange or public trading. This allows the company to buy back shares privately, often at a negotiated price, which can influence the company's stock value and impact investor holdings. Such contracts matter to investors because they can affect the supply of shares and the company's financial strategy.
