The latest announcement is out from Norman Broadbent ( (GB:NBB) ).
Norman Broadbent plc, the AIM-quoted executive search and interim management group, plans to simplify its capital structure and create distributable reserves through a proposed capital reduction. The move follows recent and expected operational progress and is intended to give the company greater flexibility over future profit distributions, including potential dividends and share buybacks, subject to performance and legal constraints.
The capital reduction would cancel all existing deferred shares and the entire balance of the share premium account, releasing about £20.5m into a reserve. This reserve will be used first to substantially eliminate the accumulated profit and loss deficit of about £19.8m as at 31 January 2026, with any remaining balance forming a pool of distributable reserves, and the board is unanimously recommending shareholders approve the plan at a general meeting on 26 March 2026, with court approval also required.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:NBB) stock is a Hold with a £242.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Norman Broadbent stock, see the GB:NBB Stock Forecast page.
