Positive

• Shares to be cancelled, which will reduce shares outstanding and slightly increase per-share metrics

Negative

• Transaction size is small (280,309 shares) relative to total shares outstanding, so near-term EPS impact is minimal
• No information on aggregate program limit or remaining allowance was disclosed in the announcement

Insights

Corporate Finance Analyst

Share buyback is a capital return reducing shares outstanding and confirming board-authorized repurchase activity.

The purchase of 280,309 shares at a VWAP of £10.3094 is a targeted on-market buyback executed through Merrill Lynch International under the AGM authority. Cancelling these shares will reduce the ordinary share count to 2,563,358,359, modestly increasing per-share metrics by lowering the denominator.

Risks and dependencies include the scale of further repurchases under the authorized program and market conditions affecting execution price. Investors can monitor subsequent announcements and the full trade breakdown available via the linked RNS for near-term activity details.
