NCC Group advances buyback as it refines capital and voting structure

An update from NCC Group plc ( (GB:NCC) ) is now available.

NCC Group has continued its share buyback programme by repurchasing 579,167 ordinary shares on 13 February 2026 at a volume-weighted average price of 134.4721 pence, with the shares to be cancelled, reducing the share count and potentially enhancing earnings per share. The company has now bought back a total of 8,311,394 shares under the programme, and once these latest purchases are cancelled its issued share capital will fall to 306,916,511 shares, a move that also updates the baseline for shareholder voting rights disclosures under UK transparency and takeover rules.

Separately, in line with takeover regulations, NCC Group confirmed that at the time of the announcement it had 310,295,175 ordinary shares in issue, all carrying one vote each and with no treasury shares held, providing clarity to investors and regulators on the current capital and voting structure. The disclosure, which includes the ISIN and legal entity identifier, underlines NCC Group’s compliance with market abuse and disclosure frameworks while it actively manages its capital structure via the ongoing buyback.
