NCC Group plc ( (GB:NCC) ) has shared an announcement.

NCC Group plc has repurchased 411,870 ordinary shares at a volume-weighted average price of 112.44 pence as part of its previously announced share buyback programme, with the shares to be cancelled. Following cancellation, the company will have 289,706,209 ordinary shares in issue, compared with 292,108,886 voting shares at the time of the announcement, signalling ongoing capital-management efforts that modestly reduce share count for existing investors.

The move underlines NCC Group’s use of balance-sheet flexibility to return value to shareholders and may support earnings per share by lowering the number of shares in circulation, while leaving no shares held in treasury.
