Transaction in Own Shares
Vertu Motors plc (AIM: VTU) announces that on 03 July 2026 it purchased 57,520 ordinary shares of 10p each in the Company (the "Repurchased Shares"), pursuant to the share buyback programme (the "Buyback Programme") that was announced on 05 March 2026, as follows (together the "Transaction"):
Date of purchase			03 July 2026
Number of ordinary shares purchased			57,520
Highest price paid per ordinary share			74.852 pence
Lowest price paid per ordinary share			74.500 pence
Volume weighted average price paid per ordinary share			74.711 pence
Application will be made for the Repurchased Shares to be cancelled. Following the cancellation of the Repurchased Shares, the total number of ordinary shares with voting rights will be 311,182,826 which may be used by shareholders 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, Vertu Motors under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules. The Company holds no shares in treasury. Since the Group began Share Buybacks in July 2017, over £47.4m has been returned to shareholders, reducing the Company's shares in issue by 21.7% over the same period. In respect of future repurchases, the Company intends to make use of the FCA's updated notification deadline under UKLR 9.6.6R, which permits post-trade notifications of purchases of own shares to be made no later than the end of the seventh daily market session following the date of execution. Accordingly, the Company expects to move from daily to weekly market notifications in respect of shares purchased under the buyback programme.
The Company will make further announcements in due course following the completion of any further purchases pursuant to the Buyback Programme.
