Strix Tightens Share Base with Latest Buyback, Voting Rights Fall to 223.1m

An announcement from Strix Group ( (GB:KETL) ) is now available.

Strix Group has continued its previously announced share buyback programme, repurchasing 439,306 ordinary shares on 27 March 2026 at a volume‑weighted average price of 36.0675 pence, with trades executed on the London Stock Exchange through broker Stifel Nicolaus Europe Limited. Following this transaction, Strix’s issued share capital remains 229,927,550 shares, of which 6,826,646 are now held in treasury, reducing total voting rights to 223,100,904 and modestly increasing existing shareholders’ proportional stakes ahead of any further purchases under the programme.

The updated voting rights figure provides the reference denominator investors must use when assessing disclosure thresholds under the FCA’s transparency rules, with the company signaling that additional buyback activity may follow. The move underscores Strix’s ongoing capital management strategy, potentially supporting its share price and reflecting management’s view of value at current trading levels, while slightly concentrating ownership among remaining shareholders.
