NBPE Cancels 15,004 Class A Shares Purchased at Between £15.18 and £15.36

The announcement confirms that NBPE purchased 15,004 Class A Shares on 6 November 2026, with the highest price paid standing at £15.36 and the lowest at £15.18 per share. The transaction was conducted on the London Stock Exchange under ISIN GG00B1ZBD492. All shares acquired in this buyback will be cancelled rather than retained, directly reducing the company's share count. This is a meaningful structural distinction for investors, as cancellation reduces the total capital base rather than simply moving shares into treasury.

Outstanding Class A Share Count Falls to 36,020,553 Following Cancellation

Following the cancellation of the repurchased shares, the total number of outstanding Class A Shares stands at 36,020,553. The company additionally holds 3,150,408 Class A Shares in treasury. For reporting obligations under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, the announcement states that the market should use 36,020,553 as the relevant voting rights figure when assessing whether a notifiable interest threshold has been crossed. Shareholders and institutional investors monitoring their percentage holdings will need to update their calculations accordingly to remain compliant with disclosure requirements.

Jefferies International Acts as Buyback Broker Under June 2026 Shareholder Authority

The buyback was executed pursuant to general authority granted at the company's shareholder meeting on 11 June 2026, and conducted through the company's existing buy-back agreement with Jefferies International Limited. NBPE is managed by NB Alternatives Advisers LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Neuberger Berman Group LLC. The investment company pursues capital appreciation through net asset value growth and pays a bi-annual dividend, with the majority of its direct private equity investments structured to carry no management fee or carried interest payable to third-party general partners, a feature the company highlights as a source of fee efficiency relative to listed peers.
