Share Buyback Programme

RNS Number : 0287P

8 October 2019

Motorpoint Group PLC

("Motorpoint" or the "Company")

Share Buyback Programme

 

Motorpoint Group PLC is pleased to announce a new share buyback programme, of up to £10 million (the "Programme").

The Programme replaces the Company's previous share buyback programme of up to £10m which was announced on 7 May 2019 and which has now completed. The Company still has shareholder authority to repurchase 6,240,989 Ordinary Shares as approved at its last AGM (being the balance of the 9,511,989 Ordinary Shares within the buyback authority). Given the continuing strong cash generation of the Company, the Board has decided to launch a new Programme for up to £10m.

The maximum daily number of ordinary shares that will be purchased is 178,000 shares, which is less than 25% of the average daily volume traded in September 2019, the month prior to this announcement. The Programme is currently expected to end no later than the date of the Company's 2020 annual general meeting. The principal purpose of the Programme is to reduce the share capital of the Company and return funds to shareholders who sell their Ordinary Shares; repurchased Ordinary Shares will typically be cancelled, although the Programme allows for Ordinary Shares to be held in treasury at the Company's discretion to help satisfy employee share plan obligations.

In order to effect the Programme, Motorpoint has entered into an agreement with the Company's joint broker, Shore Capital Stockbrokers Limited ("Shore Capital"), to carry out on-market purchases of its Ordinary Shares. This agreement includes provisions giving Shore Capital authority to carry out market purchases under the Programme independently of the Company.

The Programme will be conducted in compliance with the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014, Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No. 2016/1052 and Chapter 12 of the Financial Conduct Authority's Listing Rules. Details of all purchases made pursuant to the Programme will be announced via RNS and published on the Company's website as required by the Market Abuse Regulation.
