Transaction in Own Shares
The Company has publicly announced its acquisition of 112,284 ordinary shares at £0.01 each as part of its strategic buyback program. This transaction was executed on the London Stock Exchange, specifically through its broker, Citigroup Global Markets Limited. The aim of this buyback is to cancel these shares, subsequently reducing the total number of shares issued and enhancing the value for remaining shareholders.

Impact of the Share Buyback on Shareholder Value
Following the settlement and cancellation of the repurchased shares, the total number of ordinary shares in circulation will be adjusted down to 357,270,363. This strategic move reaffirms the Company’s dedication to enhancing shareholder value.
Change in Voting Rights
With no shares held in treasury, the entire issued share capital remains subject to voting. Therefore, the total number of voting rights post-cancellation will also be 357,270,363. This empowers shareholders by ensuring their votes reflect a reduced share count, thus potentially increasing the relative voting power of each remaining share.
