Moonpig Group Plc ( (GB:MOON) ) has issued an announcement.

Moonpig Group plc has repurchased 119,463 of its 10 pence ordinary shares for cancellation as part of its previously announced up to £30m share buyback programme, at an average price of 220.6988 pence per share. Following this latest transaction, the company’s share capital with voting rights has been reduced to 309,285,756 ordinary shares, a move that marginally enhances earnings per share and signals ongoing capital management aimed at returning value to shareholders while potentially supporting the stock’s trading performance.

The repurchase, executed through broker RBC Europe Limited, leaves Moonpig holding no shares in treasury and clarifies the new share count for investors assessing disclosure thresholds under UK transparency rules. The continued progress of the buyback underlines management’s confidence in the business and provides a clearer basis for institutional investors and other stakeholders to calculate and report any changes in their ownership stakes.
