On 7 July 2025, the Company announced the commencement of a programme to make purchases of its Shares of an aggregate value of up to USD 1 billion, subject to market conditions, with completion planned to be by the time of release of its financial results for the 2025 year in February 2026. Since the commencement of this programme, the Company has completed market purchases of its Shares of an aggregate value of approximately USD 78,780,000, resulting in up to approximately USD 921,220,000 of purchases remaining under the programme as at close of dealings yesterday. It is intended that on-market purchases of Shares will continue under the programme up to and including this Friday, 8 August.
Following the approval of the Contract with UBS at the General Meeting, it is intended that UBS will commence buying Shares from next Monday, 11 August 2025 for the purpose of selling Shares weekly to the Company on an off-market basis pursuant to the Contract. These transactions are expected to continue in respect of the balance under the programme at that time. All Shares purchased under the Contract will be cancelled upon settlement. The programme will continue to be effected in accordance with the terms of the authorities granted by shareholders at the 2025 AGM and the General Meeting.
Under the Contract, UBS may make trading decisions in accordance with the directions of the Company. If the Company is unable to do so, UBS is mandated to make trading decisions concerning purchases under the Contract independently of the Company. UBS may undertake transactions in the Shares (which may include sales as well as purchases and may include participating in block purchases) in order to meet its obligations pursuant to the Contract. The market will be notified following each purchase by the Company of Shares from the Bank under the Contract, which is expected to occur weekly for the duration of the programme.
