The share buybacks signal management's confidence in the company's valuation, as shares are repurchased at prices below net asset value, potentially supporting the share price. The reduction in shares outstanding may slightly increase earnings per share and net asset value per share, benefiting existing shareholders.

Investment Management

ICG Enterprise Trust plc announced a series of share buyback transactions in August 2026, repurchasing its own shares to be held in treasury. The buybacks occurred on August 5, 6, 10, and 12, with quantities of 15,000, 15,000, 8,000, and 15,000 shares respectively, at average prices of 1446, 1463, 1480, and 1493 pence per share. These repurchases were conducted under the authority granted by shareholders at the June 2026 Annual General Meeting, which permits repurchase of up to 14.99% of ordinary shares. The company instructed Numis Securities Limited (trading as Deutsche Numis) as its broker for these transactions, in accordance with UKLA Listing Rules. Following these purchases, the number of treasury shares increased to 2,766,878, and total shares in issue excluding treasury shares decreased to 60,787,314. The company intends to hold the repurchased shares in treasury.
