Buyback Forms Part of Cairn Homes' September 2026 Share Repurchase Programme

The 5 November purchases sit within a share buyback programme that Cairn Homes publicly announced on 2 September 2026. The company is an Irish housebuilder focused on residential development, operating primarily across the Republic of Ireland. Its ordinary shares carry a nominal value of EUR 0.001 each, and each share carries one vote. The buyback programme reflects a capital allocation decision by management, though the total size or value of the overall programme was not disclosed within this specific announcement. Investors following the programme may note that the company holds nil ordinary shares in treasury following these transactions.

Total Cairn Homes Shares in Issue Falls to 623,737,846 After Cancellation

Once the 5 November purchases settle and the 100,000 repurchased shares are cancelled, Cairn Homes' total ordinary shares in issue will amount to 623,737,846. The company holds no shares in treasury, meaning the full outstanding share count reflects shares available to investors. The cancellation of repurchased shares, rather than retention in treasury, reduces the total share count and therefore adjusts the voting and economic interest represented by each remaining share. The disclosure was made under Article 5(1)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014, the Market Abuse Regulation, with the company's LEI recorded as 635400DPX6WP2KKDOA83.
