Cairn Homes Purchases 70,000 Shares on Euronext Dublin at Up to €2.8050 Each

On Euronext Dublin, Cairn Homes acquired 70,000 ordinary shares on 4 November 2026, with the highest price paid reaching €2.8050 per share and the lowest price paid recorded at €2.7800 per share. The volume weighted average price across all Dublin trades was €2.7938 per ordinary share. The trades were spread across multiple transactions throughout the trading day, with Goodbody Stockbrokers UC acting as the company's appointed broker. Cairn Homes focuses on residential development across Ireland, and the buyback reduces the overall number of shares in circulation, a move that can affect earnings-per-share metrics for existing shareholders.

London Stock Exchange Tranche Sees 30,000 Shares Bought at a Range of £2.3150 to £2.3450

Concurrently, 30,000 ordinary shares were purchased on the London Stock Exchange on 4 November 2026, with the highest price paid standing at £2.3450 per share and the lowest at £2.3150 per share. The volume weighted average price for the London tranche was £2.3323 per ordinary share. As with the Dublin trades, Goodbody Stockbrokers UC executed all transactions on behalf of the company in accordance with the Market Abuse Regulation under Article 5(1)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014, which governs buyback transparency and disclosure obligations for issuers.

Total Shares in Issue Falls to 623,837,846 Following Cancellation of November Purchases

Once the 100,000 repurchased shares are settled and cancelled, Cairn Homes' total ordinary shares in issue will amount to 623,837,846, each carrying one voting right. The company holds nil ordinary shares in treasury, meaning all repurchased shares are being permanently retired rather than retained. The ongoing buyback programme, which originated from the announcement made on 2 September 2026, reflects the Irish housebuilder's capital allocation strategy. A key risk specific to Cairn Homes is that Irish residential property market conditions could influence both the company's operational performance and investor appetite for continued buyback activity.
