B.P. Marsh & Partners Plc (AIM: BPM), the specialist private equity investor in early stage financial services businesses, today announces the launch of a new share buy-back programme (the "Programme"), replacing the buyback programme announced on 26 March 2026, pursuant to which 47,000 Ordinary Shares were repurchased for a total consideration of approximately £0.3 million and which terminated at the conclusion of the Company's annual general meeting on 8 July 2026 (the "AGM").
The Company has entered into an irrevocable commitment with Singer Capital Markets to manage the Programme through a non-discretionary programme, repurchasing the Company's Ordinary Shares on its behalf, for up to a maximum aggregate consideration of £2 million and within certain defined parameters. Singer Capital Markets will make trading decisions in relation to the buyback of Ordinary Shares independently of the Company within the programme terms and will therefore have the ability to trade during closed periods.
Share repurchases will take place in open market transactions and may be made from time to time depending on market conditions, share price, trading volume and other terms.
The maximum price paid per Ordinary Share will be no more than the higher of (a) 105 per cent of the average of the middle market quotations for an Ordinary Share (as derived by the Daily Official List of the London Stock Exchange Daily official List) for the five business days immediately prior to the day on which the purchase is made and (b) the price of the last independent trade and the highest current independent purchase bid for Ordinary Shares on the trading venue where the purchase is carried out. Under the Programme, the repurchased shares will be held in treasury at the Company's discretion for later reissue or cancellation. Shares held in treasury are not entitled to dividends and have no voting rights at the Company's general meetings.
The Programme will operate in accordance with the Company's general authority to purchase a maximum of 3,710,000 Ordinary Shares (the "Authority"), granted by its shareholders at the AGM. This General Authority expires at the Company's next Annual General Meeting or, if earlier, at the close of business on 31 July 2027.
Shareholders should be aware that a purchase of Ordinary Shares by the Company on any trading day may represent a significant proportion of the daily trading volume in the Ordinary Shares and could exceed 25 per cent. of the average daily trading volume of the preceding 20 business days. Should that be the case, the Company could exceed the pricing and/or volume restrictions as established by the Commission Delegated Regulation 2016/1052/EU (as in force in the UK and as amended by the FCA's Technical Standards (Market Abuse Regulation) (EU Exit) Instrument 2019) (the "Regulation") and therefore the Buyback may not fall within the safe harbour provisions of the Regulation.
The purpose of the Programme is to reduce the Company's share capital. The Company confirms that it currently has no unpublished price sensitive information.
