Oxford Metrics Buys Back 150,000 Shares, Updates Voting Rights

Oxford Metrics ( (GB:OMG) ) has provided an announcement.

Oxford Metrics has repurchased 150,000 of its own ordinary shares at 54.8 pence each under its ongoing share buyback programme, executed through broker Panmure Liberum. Following the cancellation of these shares, the group’s share capital now consists of 113,981,334 ordinary shares in issue, which becomes the new total voting rights figure for investors monitoring their disclosure thresholds under UK transparency rules.

The transaction underscores Oxford Metrics’ continued use of buybacks as a capital allocation tool alongside its growth strategy in smart sensing, motion capture and smart manufacturing markets. By reducing the number of shares in issue, the move can enhance earnings per share and slightly increase existing shareholders’ relative stakes, while clarifying the new denominator for regulatory reporting of significant holdings.
