The buyback activity is conducted under authority granted to the company by shareholders at IWG's Annual General Meeting held on 19 May 2026.

The disclosure was made in accordance with Article 5(1)(b) of the Market Abuse Regulation as incorporated into UK domestic law via the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, underscoring the regulatory framework governing the repurchases.

With 60,944,976 ordinary shares repurchased in total since the programme commenced, IWG's share count has been meaningfully reduced. Following the latest transaction, the company reports 933,871,209 shares in issue, excluding treasury shares. IWG operates one of the world's largest networks of flexible workspaces under brands including Regus and Spaces, serving businesses across multiple geographies. The sustained pace of buybacks may indicate management's confidence in the company's financial position, though the ultimate allocation of repurchased shares — whether cancellation or treasury retention — has yet to be confirmed for each tranche.
