Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR: Routine on-market buyback completed and shares to be cancelled, reducing issued share count.

The disclosed transaction is a standard market repurchase executed via Merrill Lynch International on 29 August 2025 for 314,629 ordinary shares at an aggregated VWAP of £9.8623 with execution reported on the London Stock Exchange. The firm's explicit intention to cancel the repurchased shares reduces the company's issued share count to 2,571,624,386, which updates the denominator for regulatory disclosure. This announcement follows the previously disclosed arrangement with MLI and shareholder authority granted at the 2025 AGM, indicating the repurchase sits within an authorized program rather than being an ad-hoc corporate action.

The company explicitly states the buyback was conducted as an on-exchange transaction compliant with LSE Listing Rules and as an on-market purchase under the Hong Kong Code on Share Buy-Backs, and references availability of a full trade breakdown under MAR.
