Mitie Cancels 400,000 Shares in Ongoing Buyback Programme

Mitie Group plc ( (GB:MTO) ) has provided an announcement.

Mitie Group plc has continued its share buyback programme, purchasing 400,000 ordinary shares on 10 March 2026 through broker Peel Hunt at a volume-weighted average price of 172.67p per share. The company intends to cancel these shares, reducing its share count and leaving 1,318,261,125 ordinary shares in issue, which defines the current total voting rights for shareholders.
