''i just wonder why the staff shares cant be purchased and included as an operating cost instead.''

Been through this endless times already.
Purchasing shares dilutes shareholder funds per share.
Issuing new shares dilutes shareholder funds per share.

Staff pay for shares in the SAYE schemes.

''not be directly observable''

that is the problem with some - they just see a share price and complain that if a buyback hasn't greatly increased it. The share price will always be incorporating the extra value to each share that the buyback brings.

average cost of shares now 20.94p

opened at 47.94 just closed at 48.951

all 4 SB's from yesterday now closed

cas
Morgan Stanley are doing the buying - not that it makes any difference to us.

some shareholders on here don't like money going to bank staff.
They will be pleased that there are not extra people to answer your phone call and who would have the facility of being able to save money in a share purchase scheme.
You will have to continue to wait - you maybe only number 24 in the queue now

I am sure you would prefer to see 64p in 2022 unless you were not planning to sell at that price.
Others I am sure are so unhappy with Lloyds that they would want to get out as soon as possible to recoup paper losses

oh i see - you are saying it has just shot past 48

''waiting for it break 48p all this morning''

I closed a position at 8.04 at a fraction over 48

''Wish LLOY investors''

It appears you would not be an investor, so why post on the board.

Lloyds II's would obviously have their reason for preferring a buyback at this moment. The low share price (good investment) may have played a part.

Yes - I cannot be bothered to check but I don't think shares would be purchased at a certain percentage above the average price over the previous x days.

had closed 2 positions soon after the open.

average share price cost now 20.96

still got 2 SB's open

''If this carries on the 2BN will be spent by Friday''

Unfortunately there are rules, limiting the amount of shares that can be bought in a day, which is why all of 2022 is needed to spend £2 Billion

suf
just hope that volume is high

suf
yes - they will do well to spend that by the end of 2022.
The previous ones of about £1 Billion was spent over about 6 months
