An update from Diversified Energy Company ( (DEC) ) is now available.

Diversified Energy Company has repurchased 3,750,000 shares of its common stock at a volume-weighted average price of $14.311 per share, executed through Citigroup as part of its previously announced share buyback program. The transaction was conducted in connection with an underwritten public offering of 7,501,585 shares by funds affiliated with EIG, which, following the closing, will no longer hold any shares in Diversified, and the repurchased stock will be cancelled.

After the cancellation of the repurchased shares, Diversified will have 72,320,756 shares in issue with no shares held in treasury, establishing a new share count reference for regulatory disclosure thresholds under the FCA’s rules. The buyback and the exit of a major selling stockholder tighten the company’s share base and may signal confidence in its valuation and capital allocation strategy, with implications for existing shareholders’ ownership percentages and market liquidity.
