share buy-back programme financial

"These share purchases form part of the Company's share buy-back programme previously announced"

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.

uk listing rules regulatory

"The programme will be conducted in accordance with Chapter 9 of the UK Listing Rules"

UK listing rules are a set of regulations that companies must follow to be officially listed on a UK stock exchange. These rules ensure that companies provide clear, accurate, and sufficient information to protect investors and maintain market confidence, similar to how safety standards ensure products are reliable. Adhering to these rules is important for investors because it helps them make informed decisions about buying or selling company shares.

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.
