These share purchases form part of the Company's existing share buy-back programme which is expected to be completed over the period from 27 December 2017 to 31 December 2018, details of which were announced on 21 September 2017.
In respect of this programme, Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch will make trading decisions in relation to the Company's Ordinary Shares repurchased under the buy-back programme independently of, and uninfluenced by, the Company for the period from 15 October 2018 to 31 December 2018.
Any such acquisitions will be effected within certain pre-set parameters, and in accordance with the Company's general authority to repurchase Ordinary Shares, Chapter 12 of the Listing Rules and the provisions of the Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014/EU dealing with buy-back programmes.
Following the cancellation of the Ordinary Shares repurchased, the Company will have 1,294,037,261 Ordinary Shares in issue. To the extent that further Ordinary Shares are repurchased under the programme, these will also be cancelled.
One interpretation of a buyback is that the company is financially healthy and no longer needs excess equity funding. It can also be viewed by the market that management has enough confidence in the company to reinvest in itself. Share buybacks are generally seen as less risky than investing in research and development for a new technology or acquiring a competitor; it's a profitable action, as long as the company continues to grow. Investors typically see share buybacks as a positive sign for appreciation in the future. As a result, share buybacks can lead to a rush of investors buying the stock.
me bob the SP is undervalued so the company is buying it's own shares i believe daily up to the end of the year
(Sharecast News) - Rio Tinto has struck a deal to sell its majority stake in the Rössing mine in Namibia to China's state nuclear company.
China National Uranium Corporation will pay the world's second largest miner up to $106.5m for its entire 68.62% stake, with an initial cash payment of $6.5m on completion and the rest dependent on uranium spot prices over the coming seven years.
Rössing, the world's longest-running open pit uranium mine, currently generates roughly 3% of global supply for the radioactive metal, for which rising investor demand has drivn prices up more than 30% in the past four months.
The FTSE 100-listed company has been in talks with CNNC as it considered several strategic options for Rössing, which last year produced 4,652 klbs in total, of which Rio's share was 3,192 klbs.
Rio chief executive Jean-Sebastien Jacques said the sale was part of the board's efforts to strengthen the portfolio by focusing on "core assets, which deliver sector leading returns in the short, medium and long term".
Be Heard Group plc, the digital marketing group, hereby notifies the market that on 20 November 2018, David Wilkinson, Non Executive Director at the Company, purchased 750,000 ordinary shares at 1.318p per share.
David's total holding in the Company is now 3,136,208 ordinary shares, representing 0.30% of the total issued share capital in Be Heard.

NEWS FT
Oil prices declined for the second day in a row on Friday, hitting their lowest level in almost one year on the back of concerns over an increase in global supply.
However, analysts say a rebound could be around the corner.
The FTSE 100 group has launched 53 new developments in the 15 weeks to 14 October, including joint ventures, down from 62 a year ago. It is currently operating from an average of 365 active outlets, down from 371 this time last year.
"We continue to expect outlet numbers to grow for the full year when compared to the prior year," said chief executive David Thomas.
He also pointed to total forward sales up 12.4% on the prior year at a value of £3.15bn, equating to 12,903 units.
Last month Barratt provided three new medium-term targets alongside its final results, including an aim to build 3-5% more houses over coming years, lifting its margins in line with the rest of the sector
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ thanks to new housing designs that are faster to build and reduce costs and waste, with land only acquired when there is sufficient potential return on capital employed.

A good set of full year results
Barratt Developments today reported some good numbers in its full year results which highlighted that operationally everything is going in the right direction. In particular, total completions were up 1.1% over the period, to 17,579 properties – this is the highest number of completions in a decade.
Meanwhile, Barratt saw its revenues up by 4.8%, helped by good growth in the average selling price of its completions. Additionally, despite headwinds in the high-end London property market, the company recorded increased gross and operating profit margins, reflecting the success of its ongoing self-help initiatives. It also delivered 8.5% growth in earnings per share. Finally, the dividend was increased by almost 5% and the business announced a special dividend of 17.3p, the same level as last year.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overall, this is a good set of results that demonstrate good financial and operational performance – quite the contrary to what the market consensus is pricing into Barratt Developments’ shares, and indeed in the share prices of many other domestically-focused companies.
