Author: Owen Jenkins Updated: 05-30-2025 02:15 AM

Overview of ICG Enterprise Trust plc Share Buyback

ICG Enterprise Trust plc (the “Company”) has recently announced a strategic move concerning its treasury shares. On 29 May, the Company bought back 15,000 of its own shares, an important step meant to be held as treasury shares, with each share purchased at an average price of 1249 pence.

Details of the Transaction

This buyback transaction reflects the Company’s ongoing strategy to manage its capital structure efficiently. Following the settlement of this transaction, the Company will now hold a total of 148,544 shares as treasury shares. Moreover, the total shares in circulation, excluding treasury shares, stands at 63,405,648, indicating the immediate impact of this buyback.

Shareholder Authority and Buyback Conditions

The Company is exercising this buyback under the authority granted by its shareholders during the Annual General Meeting held in June of the previous year. This authority allows ICG Enterprise Trust plc to repurchase a maximum of 14.99% of its ordinary shares. However, the final number of shares repurchased is subject to market conditions, and this authority will remain effective until the next annual meeting set for 2025 or until revoked by shareholders.

Pricing and Treasury Management Intentions

ICG Enterprise Trust plc has not set a maximum price payable for the shares repurchased. Nonetheless, the Company will ensure that no share is bought back at a premium to its net asset value. It is currently intended that the shares bought back will be retained in treasury, underpinning the Company’s commitment to prudent financial management.

Brokering and Compliance

To manage these buyback transactions effectively, the Company has appointed Numis Securities Limited, operating under the name of Deutsche Numis, as its broker. This action aligns with the UKLA Listing Rules and fulfills the Company’s general authority for share repurchase.
