NCC Group has continued its share buyback programme, repurchasing 825,045 ordinary shares on 9 February at a volume-weighted average price of 134.1758 pence through Investec Bank, with the company intending to cancel these shares. Including this latest tranche, NCC has bought back 5,757,775 shares, and after cancellation its issued share capital will fall to 309,470,130 shares, reducing the total voting rights and marginally enhancing remaining shareholders’ ownership stakes while also confirming 313,630,794 shares currently in issue under takeover code disclosure rules.

The reduction in share count is part of NCC Group’s ongoing capital management strategy, signalling confidence in its valuation and tightening the free float, which may support earnings per share and influence investor perceptions of the company’s financial discipline.
