Strix Group ( (GB:KETL) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Strix Group has repurchased 200,000 ordinary shares at a volume-weighted average price of 36.7 pence as part of its previously announced share buyback programme, with transactions executed via joint broker Stifel Nicolaus Europe on the London Stock Exchange. Following this latest buyback, Strix’s issued share capital remains 229,927,550 shares, of which 7,572,555 are now held in treasury, reducing total voting rights to 222,354,995 and marginally consolidating existing shareholders’ relative stakes while the company continues to manage its capital structure actively.

The adjustment to total voting rights provides a new reference point for investors monitoring disclosure thresholds under the FCA’s transparency rules and reflects the Board’s ongoing use of buybacks as a tool for shareholder returns. Further purchases may follow under the current programme, indicating continued management focus on capital efficiency and potential support for the company’s share price in the market.
