Insights

Equity capital markets analyst

Small, routine buyback; minimal immediate impact.

NatWest Group repurchased 1,100,094 shares on the LSE at a 543.89 GBp VWAP (high 547.60 GBp, low 540.80 GBp). This aligns with ongoing capital return via share repurchases and reflects execution at prevailing market prices.

After settlement, treasury shares total 230,921,283, with 8,036,268,193 shares in issue excluding treasury. Given the scale of the repurchase relative to total shares in issue, the near‑term effect on per‑share metrics appears limited based on the provided figures.
