NCC Group has repurchased 132,650 ordinary shares at a volume-weighted average price of 117.82 pence as part of its previously announced share buyback programme, with the trades executed through Peel Hunt on the London Stock Exchange. The company intends to cancel these shares, reducing the number of ordinary shares in issue to 287,383,387, a move that marginally enhances earnings per share and concentrates voting power for remaining shareholders while signalling continued capital management discipline.

This clarification of the total voting rights and share capital structure provides transparency to investors and potential bidders, supporting orderly trading and regulatory compliance in the context of any corporate activity governed by the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers.
