Cancellation of Purchased Shares Reduces MGNS Shares in Issue to 48,716,963

Following settlement and cancellation of the 16,000 purchased ordinary shares, Morgan Sindall's total shares in issue will stand at 48,716,963, representing an equivalent number of voting rights. The cancellation of repurchased shares, rather than holding them in treasury, directly reduces the size of the company's share capital. This mechanism means that remaining shareholders hold a proportionally larger stake in the business following each tranche of purchases completed under the programme.

Buyback Conducted Under UK Market Abuse Regulation Article 5 Safe Harbour Provisions

The announcement states that the buyback is being conducted in accordance with Article 5(1)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014, as incorporated into UK domestic law via the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. This regulatory framework provides a safe harbour for companies repurchasing their own shares, subject to prescribed conditions on price, volume, and disclosure. Morgan Sindall has published a full breakdown of individual trades executed by Deutsche Numis, in line with the transparency requirements attached to this provision.
