London Stock Exchange Group plc (LSEG) announced today it will commence a share buyback program to purchase ordinary shares of 6 79/86 pence each in the company with an aggregate value of up to £1,000,000,000.
In connection with the buyback program, LSEG has entered into an irrevocable agreement with Goldman Sachs International in relation to the purchase of Shares by Goldman Sachs, acting as riskless principal and in accordance with certain pre-set parameters, under which the company has instructed Goldman Sachs to purchase Shares with a value of up to £1,000,000,000.
Purchases will commence immediately and will end no later than 19 December 2025.
Goldman Sachs will make trading decisions in relation to the Buyback Programme independently of, and uninfluenced by, the company.
The purpose of the buyback program is to reduce the share capital of LSEG.
Any purchases under the Buyback Programme shall take place in accordance with (and subject to the limits prescribed by) the Company’s general authority to repurchase Shares granted by its shareholders at the annual general meeting on 1 May 2025. The maximum number of Shares that the Company was authorised to purchase under the 2025 Authority was 53,060,997, of which 50,799,470 remain as at the date of this announcement following conclusion of the Company’s previous share buyback programme with Morgan Stanley & Co.
