Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: A small on‑market buyback of 267,431 shares; company will cancel the shares and updates shares outstanding.

The disclosed transaction is routine: 267,431 ordinary shares were bought from Merrill Lynch International on 09 September 2025 at a reported London Stock Exchange price of £9.9840. Management states the repurchased shares will be cancelled and provides the updated shares in issue and voting rights (2,569,628,743). The announcement includes a link to a full trade breakdown under MAR requirements. Given the size relative to total shares outstanding, the direct market-impact and balance-sheet effect are limited; the action primarily signals use of existing buyback authority.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Buyback executed under shareholder-authorized program, processed on-exchange, with formal cancellation intended.

The transaction was completed under the authority granted at the 2025 Annual General Meeting and executed via an arrangement with Merrill Lynch International. The filing confirms compliance with London Stock Exchange Listing Rules and Hong Kong on-market purchase rules. The company provides the post-transaction share count for disclosure and shareholder notification purposes. This is a standard corporate action consistent with the stated buyback program and disclosure obligations.
