RE: another buyback RNS21 Nov 2016 20:00
The following is from the Directors Talk website. “MayAir Group plc (AIM:MAYA), a leading specialist provider of air purification technology, has told ************* that on 18 November 2016, the Group purchased through Cantor Fitzgerald Europe 20,000 ordinary shares of no par value at an average price of 95 pence per share. The purchased shares will be held as treasury shares.”
A search of the Dircetors talk website suggests that this is the first mention on that website of the MAYA share buy-back.
For the record, 479.5k have so far been bought back for a total cost £340k (excluding fees).
That’s is about 1.1% of the issued share capital for about 6% of the maximum funds available for the buy-back.

The buy-back will be for up to a maximum of 4,247,500 ordinary shares of no par value in the Group ("Ordinary Shares"), representing approximately 10 per cent. of the Group's issued share capital, for an aggregate maximum consideration of £5,755,750. MayAir has engaged its broker, Cantor Fitzgerald Europe, to undertake the buy-back on its behalf.
Good to see that no holders were sufficiently impatient to part with any MAYA shares today. What will the next Cantor Fitz. tactic be? Will they raise the bid to encourage selling?
