Character ( (GB:CCT) ) just unveiled an announcement.
The Character Group has continued to execute its previously announced share buyback programme, repurchasing 8,000 ordinary shares at a price of 240 pence each from Panmure Liberum. The repurchased shares have been cancelled, leaving the company with 1,983,059 shares held in treasury and 17,568,149 shares in issue, which will now serve as the denominator for shareholders’ voting rights calculations under FCA disclosure rules.
By reducing the number of shares in issue, Character is incrementally consolidating existing investors’ ownership and potentially supporting earnings per share over time. The update reinforces the group’s active capital management strategy and provides clarity to the market on current voting rights, which is relevant for institutional and other shareholders monitoring disclosure thresholds.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:CCT) stock is a Hold with a £244.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Character stock, see the GB:CCT Stock Forecast page.
