Science ( (GB:SAG) ) has shared an update.
Science Group plc has repurchased 4,500 of its 1 pence ordinary shares at an average price of 542.5 pence per share through broker Panmure Liberum, with all shares to be held in treasury. The transaction, representing around 0.01% of prior voting rights, brings the total ordinary shares in issue excluding treasury to 42,854,312, a figure shareholders can now use for regulatory disclosure threshold calculations under FCA rules.
By modestly reducing the free float and increasing treasury holdings to 3,331,562 shares, the company continues its capital management strategy, which can support metrics such as earnings per share and provide flexibility for future corporate actions. The updated share count and clarity on voting rights offer greater transparency for investors monitoring their notifiable interest levels and potential changes in ownership disclosures.
