Vertu Motors Continues Share Buybacks, Cancels 75,000 Shares

Vertu Motors ( (GB:VTU) ) has shared an announcement.

Vertu Motors has repurchased 75,000 ordinary shares at 63.95 pence each under its ongoing share buyback programme, and will cancel these shares, reducing the total number of shares with voting rights to 313,007,105. The move is part of a long-running capital return strategy that has seen over £46.2 million returned to shareholders and a 21.2% reduction in shares in issue since 2017, signalling continued focus on shareholder value and capital discipline.

By shrinking its share base and maintaining an active buyback policy, Vertu Motors reinforces its confidence in the business and supports earnings per share over the long term. The cancellation of repurchased stock also clarifies the voting share denominator for investors monitoring disclosure thresholds under UK market transparency rules, with no shares held in treasury.
