Transaction in own shares
Future plc ("Future" or the "Company"), announces that, in accordance with the terms of its share buyback programme announced on 10 July 2023 (the "Share Buyback Programme"), the Company purchased the following number of its Ordinary 15p Shares ("Ordinary Shares") through Numis Securities Limited:
| Date of purchase: | 15/08/2023 |
| Aggregate number of Ordinary Shares purchased: | 50,000 |
| Lowest price paid per share (GBp): | 774.50 |
| Highest price paid per share (GBp): | 787.00 |
| Volume weighted average price paid per share (GBp): | 781.0350 |
The purchased shares will be cancelled. Following the purchase of these shares (and the issue of 617 shares under the Company' share ownership plan, which is covered by a block listing), the remaining number of Ordinary Shares in issue will be 120,669,840 with no shares held in treasury. Therefore, the total voting rights in the Company will be 120,669,840. This figure for the total number of voting rights may be used by shareholders (and others with notification obligations) as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
