Positive

• Repurchase executed under shareholder-approved authority, showing governance alignment
• Company will cancel the shares, reducing shares outstanding and simplifying capital structure
• Trade executed on regulated markets and disclosed with a link to full trade breakdown for transparency

Negative

• Transaction size is very small relative to total shares outstanding, likely immaterial to EPS or control
• No aggregate buyback programme totals disclosed, so broader repurchase intent and scale are unclear

Insights

Corporate Finance Analyst

Small, routine share buyback; cancellation reduces share count but is immaterial to capital structure.

The transaction repurchased 275,010 shares and the company intends to cancel them, which mechanically reduces the number of shares outstanding to 2,563,923,973. This action uses the authority granted at the 2025 AGM and follows applicable LSE and Hong Kong on-market rules.

Because the buyback was executed via Merrill Lynch International on the LSE at a VWAP of £10.4550, the trade aligns with standard market procedures. Near-term investor impact is limited given the small absolute size; monitor future aggregate buyback activity or any formal programme scaling over Q4 2025 for materiality.

Markets / Investor Relations Specialist

Announcement clarifies voting-rights denominator and compliance with listing rules.

The company explicitly provides the updated shares-in-issue figure for FCA disclosure calculations and confirms the purchase was an on-exchange/on-market execution under relevant listing and buy-back codes. A public trade breakdown link is supplied to satisfy Market Abuse Regulation transparency requirements.

Investors should use the updated 2,563,923,973 figure when assessing notification thresholds. Watch for further RNS notices if the company discloses cumulative buyback totals or a programme timetable later in 2025.
