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

NCC Group plc has repurchased 485,371 ordinary shares at a volume-weighted average price of 120.52 pence under its recently announced share buyback programme, and intends to cancel these shares, reducing its share capital. The move marginally lowers the total number of shares in issue and voting rights, which can enhance earnings per share and may signal management’s confidence in the company’s valuation to investors.

Following this latest transaction, the company reports that immediately prior to cancellation it had 295,709,196 ordinary shares in issue, all carrying one vote each and none held in treasury. Post-cancellation, the share count will fall to 292,075,266 shares, refining the company’s capital structure and potentially improving capital efficiency while maintaining full free float in the market.
