Completion of FY24 Share Buyback Programme
Mitie Group plc ("Mitie" / the "Group") announces that it has completed the FY24 £50m share buyback programme, announced on 18 April 2023 (the "Share Buyback Programme").
Over the duration of the FY24 Share Buyback Programme, the Group purchased a total of 59m Ordinary Shares of 2.5p each ("Ordinary Shares") at an average price of 85p, of which 26m shares (representing c.2% of the Group's issued share capital) have been cancelled.
The remaining 33m shares were purchased to satisfy awards vesting under the Group's 2020 SAYE scheme. As announced in Mitie's Q3 Trading Update on 25 January 2024, the Group has redeployed proceeds of c.£8m arising upon the exercise of these awards (being the discounted option price paid by the employee) into the further share purchases under the Share Buyback Programme, such that the net expenditure remains £50m.
In total, over the past two years, the Group has purchased 128m shares through share buyback programmes, at a net cost of £100m and average price of 79p, of which 95m shares (representing c.7% of the Group's issued share capital) have been cancelled.
