Science Group plc has continued its share buyback activity, purchasing 7,500 ordinary shares on 12 March 2026 at an average price of 532 pence per share through Panmure Liberum Limited. The transaction represents about 0.02% of prior voting rights and the repurchased shares will be held in treasury, adjusting the capital structure without immediate dilution to existing shareholders.

The move underscores ongoing capital management efforts, which may support earnings per share and signal confidence in the company’s valuation, while modestly altering the free float and voting base.
