Insights

Corporate Finance Analyst

Share buyback reduces share count and signals capital return.

The repurchase of 285,305 shares at an average near £10.47 reduces the outstanding share base to 2,563,638,668, which is immediately dilutive in reverse (fewer shares outstanding increases per‑share metrics all else equal). The company has stated an intention to cancel the shares, making the reduction permanent.

The transaction used an agreed broker arrangement with Merrill Lynch International and was executed on the London exchange as an on‑market buyback, complying with relevant Listing and Hong Kong buy‑back rules. Investors should note the change in the denominator for voting and disclosure thresholds effective immediately.

Governance & Compliance Specialist

Procedure followed normal market and disclosure rules.

The purchase was carried out under authority granted at the 2025 Annual General Meeting and disclosed via the required channels, with a detailed trade breakdown available under MAR Article 5(1)(b). The firm provided the post‑transaction share count to assist shareholder notification calculations under FCA rules.

Key compliance items to monitor are further buyback volumes under the AGM authority and any subsequent cancellations; shareholders should use the disclosed 2,563,638,668 figure when assessing notification obligations going forward.
