The buyback programme, which Bellway announced on 1 September 2026, has now resulted in the cancellation of 1,175,020 ordinary shares in aggregate. Following settlement of the purchases disclosed in this announcement, the total number of Bellway ordinary shares in issue will stand at 111,286,981. Share cancellations of this kind reduce the overall share count, which can affect per-share financial metrics. The announcement states that all purchased shares will be cancelled rather than held in treasury, a structural choice that permanently reduces Bellway's issued share capital.
