volume weighted average price financial

"Volume weighted average price paid per share (GBp)"

The volume weighted average price (VWAP) is a way to measure the average price of a security, such as a stock, over a specific period, taking into account how many units were traded at each price. It’s similar to calculating the average cost of items bought when some are more frequently purchased than others. Investors use VWAP to assess whether a security is being bought or sold at a fair price during trading.

buyback programme financial

"part of the Company’s existing share buyback programme"

nominal value financial

"ordinary shares in the Company with a nominal value of £1.0769"

Nominal value is the stated or face amount assigned to a financial instrument — for shares it’s the par value printed on the stock certificate, and for money or returns it can mean the number not adjusted for inflation. Think of it like a price tag on an item versus its buying power: the tag tells you the label, but not how much you can actually buy. Investors care because nominal values affect accounting, legal capital, dividend calculations and comparisons over time when inflation may distort real worth.

Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules regulatory

"under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules"

Disclosure guidance and transparency rules are the standards and regulations that require companies to share clear, timely information about their finances, risks, operations and material events. They matter to investors because consistent, honest reporting is like a car’s dashboard — it reveals the data you need to judge safety and performance and make informed buying or selling decisions. Strong disclosure reduces surprises and helps keep markets fair and efficient.
