Financial Analyst

TL;DR: Routine tranche of share buyback completed; small reduction in shares outstanding with detailed trade breakdown provided.

The company executed a buyback of 2,975,063 ordinary shares under its second tranche. The filing provides execution dates (26-27 August 2025), exchange venue and a weighted trade figure of 359.1984. Post-settlement share counts are given, showing 8,966,351,142 registered shares and 8,962,470,937 voting shares after treasury holdings of 3,880,205. The disclosure follows market abuse regulation requirements by linking to a full trade breakdown. Given the absolute size of the purchase relative to total shares outstanding, the transaction appears operationally routine rather than transformational.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Disclosure complies with regulatory rules and updates voting share count for shareholder notification thresholds.

The Form 6-K supplies the necessary regulatory disclosure: number of shares purchased and cancelled, post-transaction registered capital, treasury holdings and the resulting voting shares figure. The announcement explicitly notes the voting shares figure may be used for FCA notification thresholds and provides a link to a full trade breakdown in accordance with the Market Abuse Regulation. This meets standard transparency expectations for buyback programmes.
