Bought-Back Shares Transferred to Treasury, Reducing PSH's Outstanding Public Share Count

Following the transaction, Pershing Square Holdings will hold the purchased shares in Treasury rather than cancelling them immediately. The announcement states that after accounting for this buyback, PSH has 172,375,894 Public Shares outstanding. A total of 38,580,856 Public Shares are now held in Treasury and are excluded from the outstanding count. The company also confirmed that the one special voting share, held by PS Holdings Independent Voting Company Limited, was not affected by this buyback activity.

Buyback Executed at a Significant Discount to PSH's $78.89 Net Asset Value Per Share

The net asset value per Public Share relevant to this buyback was $78.89 (£58.89), calculated as of 31 October 2026. With shares purchased at an average of $51.93, the transaction was conducted at a discount of approximately $26.96 to NAV per share — though investors should note this comparison is based on figures from different dates as disclosed in the announcement. For closed-ended funds such as PSH, persistent discounts to NAV are a key metric watched by shareholders, and buybacks are one mechanism managers may deploy to address them.
