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.

eu mar regulatory

"dealing with buy-back programmes (“EU MAR”) and EU MAR as “onshored” into UK law"

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

"from time to time (“UK MAR”) and the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052"

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

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

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.

on-market limb financial

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

An on-market limb is the part of a takeover or share-purchase arrangement where shares are bought directly through the stock exchange at current market prices, rather than through private, negotiated off-exchange deals. For investors it matters because on-market purchases happen publicly and at prevailing prices, which can affect the stock’s trading price, liquidity and how quickly ownership changes hands — like buying items from a store shelf versus arranging a private sale.
