Fonix launches tightly structured £1.99m share buyback to deploy surplus cash

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

The latest update is out from Fonix Mobile PLC ( (GB:FNX) ).

Fonix plc has launched an on-market share buyback of up to 1,250,000 ordinary shares, equivalent to 1.26% of its issued share capital, at a price of 159 pence per share. The board views the move as an efficient use of the company’s growing cash balance, with repurchased shares to be held in treasury or cancelled, and not entitled to dividends or voting rights if held in treasury.

The structure of the programme has been carefully designed so that the concert party’s aggregate holding does not increase, with major shareholder Richard Thompson agreeing to sell sufficient shares to offset any impact. Cavendish Capital Markets will manage the non-discretionary buyback within UK Market Abuse Regulation parameters, and the unusually large size relative to daily trading volume means the company will not benefit from certain regulatory exemptions.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:FNX) stock is a Buy with a £293.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Fonix Mobile PLC stock, see the GB:FNX Stock Forecast page.
