RWS Holdings plc ("RWS" or the "Company") announced on 14 June 2023 that it was launching a share repurchase programme (the "Repurchase Programme") of up to £50 million to be executed by the date of RWS's AGM in 2024, which will take place later today.
The Repurchase Programme has now been closed. Since 14 June 2024 RWS has repurchased 20.8 million ordinary shares of £0.01 each at a weighted average price of 239.2263 pence per share at an aggregate cost of £49.7 million. These shares, representing 5.33% of RWS's issued share capital at the start of the programme, have been or will be cancelled.
On 21 February 2024 RWS purchased the following number of its ordinary shares of £0.01 each on the London Stock Exchange from Joh. Berenberg, Gossler & Co. KG, London Branch ("Berenberg"), in accordance with the terms of the Repurchase Programme.
| Date of purchase: | 21/02/2024 |
|---|---|
| Aggregate number of ordinary shares purchased: | 185,700 |
| Lowest price paid per share (GBp): | 226.0000 |
| Highest price paid per share (GBp): | 229.6000 |
| Volume weighted average price paid per share (GBp): | 228.0901 |
RWS intends to cancel all of the purchased shares.
Following settlement of the above purchases and cancellation of the shares purchased, RWS will have 368,717,980 ordinary shares in issue and holds no ordinary shares in treasury.
The total number of voting rights in RWS is therefore 368,717,980 and this figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, RWS under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
