Positive

• Repurchase executed under AGM-authorised programme and prior arrangement with Merrill Lynch International.
• Company intends to cancel the repurchased shares, reducing the issued share count to 2,570,436,870.
• Transaction disclosed with trade price details and reference to full trade breakdown under MAR, supporting regulatory transparency.

Negative

• Repurchased volume of 291,720 shares is economically immaterial relative to the total issued share count, so market impact and EPS uplift will be negligible.

Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: A small on-market buyback and planned cancellation that minimally reduces share count but signals capital-return activity.

The repurchase of 291,720 shares at an average price of £9.7160 represents a routine execution under the AGM-authorised programme and the previously disclosed arrangement with Merrill Lynch International. The implied reduction in issued shares to 2,570,436,870 is explicit but economically immaterial versus the total share base, so immediate EPS or valuation effects will be negligible. The disclosure and use of on-exchange venues align with regulatory and market norms across the LSE and Hong Kong listing regimes.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Governance-compliant buyback and cancellation, consistent with shareholder authority and disclosure obligations.

The announcement documents that the buyback was executed pursuant to shareholder authorization at the 2025 AGM and that the purchase met Listing Rule and Hong Kong Code requirements. The company provided the post-transaction shares-in-issue figure for transparency, and pointed to a trade breakdown under MAR, which reflects appropriate market abuse and disclosure compliance. The scale is modest, but procedural and disclosure standards were followed.
