Buyback Programme, which saw GBP100m of capital returned to
shareholders, on 15 March 2022, the Company announced a second
tranche, committing a further GBP200m to share buybacks.
As part of this second tranche, on 23 May 2022, the Company
purchased 548,635 ordinary shares for cancellation through Merrill
Lynch International at an average price of 555.4234 pence per
share.
