Insights

TL;DR: Routine, small-scale buyback within an existing programme; limited immediate dilution reduction given the small size relative to outstanding shares.

The Company purchased 1,849,240 shares at a VWAP of 540.90p. Measured against the reported 8,081,991,609 shares outstanding (excluding treasury), this tranche represents approximately 0.023% of the outstanding share count, indicating a modest capital return in the context of total capital structure. The repurchased shares are intended to be cancelled, which is an accretive structural action if continued at scale. The disclosure of a full trade breakdown via the RNS link is consistent with regulatory transparency requirements.

TL;DR: Disclosure and execution are standard; cancellation intention and full-trade reporting align with good corporate governance practices.

The Company confirms execution through Merrill Lynch International and states the intention to cancel the repurchased Ordinary Shares. The announcement references compliance with market disclosure rules and provides a link to a detailed trade breakdown, supporting governance and investor transparency. The size of the individual transaction is small relative to issued share capital, making this a routine update rather than a material governance event.
