Diversified Energy Company Completes Share Buyback Program
Diversified Energy Company PLC ("Diversified", or the "Company") has successfully executed its latest share buyback program, marking another significant step in its financial strategy. This initiative aligns with its ongoing commitment to enhancing shareholder value and operational performance.
Details of the Share Buyback
As part of its share buyback program, announced earlier, Diversified has acquired a total of 36,063 Ordinary Shares valued at 20 pence each. These transactions were facilitated through Mizuho Securities USA LLC (MSUSA), with shares purchased at a volume-weighted average price of 12.6209 USD each. The company plans to cancel the acquired shares to reduce the total number of outstanding shares, which supports its strategy of increasing shareholder value.
Purchase Statistics
The shares were bought at varying prices, reflecting favorable market conditions. The lowest purchase price recorded was 12.55 USD per share, while the highest was 12.66 USD.

Understanding the Impact of the Buyback
Upon cancellation of these shares, Diversified will have 80,269,507 Ordinary Shares in circulation, with no Ordinary Shares held in treasury.
