Insights

TL;DR: Routine share capital disclosure providing the official outstanding share count for regulatory notification calculations.

This Form 6-K supplies a standard voting rights and capital update: a clear, single data point of 646,408,025 ordinary shares outstanding and no treasury shares. For investors and market participants, this number is material only as the official denominator used to assess ownership thresholds for FCA disclosure requirements. There are no earnings, transaction, or governance changes disclosed here, so the direct financial impact on valuation or operations is neutral. The filing meets regulatory transparency obligations by restating share capital and voting rights as required.

TL;DR: Compliance-focused disclosure confirming voting structure and absence of treasury shares; no governance changes reported.

The company reiterates that each ordinary share carries one vote and that there are no treasury shares, which simplifies vote-counting and shareholder notification mechanics. This disclosure enables shareholders to calculate percentage holdings precisely against the stated denominator for FCA notification thresholds. Because no changes to share classes, rights, or treasury holdings are reported, there are no governance implications beyond routine compliance.
