Share Buyback

What is a Share Buyback?

A share buyback is when a company repurchases its own shares from shareholders, reducing the total shares in issue.

Think of it like this…

The company is buying back a piece of itself.

Why does it matter?

• Can increase the ownership percentage of remaining shareholders
• May improve per-share financial metrics
• Requires meeting solvency and liquidity requirements under the Companies Act

Best practice

Record the buyback in the securities register and keep the authorising resolutions.
