Severn Trent Allots 27,153 Sharesave Scheme Shares in October 2026

The announcement, made in accordance with PRR 1.6.4R, confirms that Severn Trent allotted and issued 27,153 ordinary shares of 97 17/19 pence each during October 2026 solely to satisfy employee entitlements under its Sharesave Scheme.

Following this issuance, Severn Trent's total issued share capital as at 31 October 2026 stood at 304,103,507 ordinary shares of 97 17/19 pence each. Of this total, 2,002,453 shares are held in treasury and therefore carry no voting rights. The company confirmed these figures are consistent with its separately published 'Total Voting Rights and Issued Share Capital' announcement also released on 2 November 2026.

Sharesave Scheme Issuances and Their Role in Severn Trent's Employee Ownership

Sharesave schemes, also known as Save As You Earn arrangements, allow eligible employees to save a fixed monthly amount and use accumulated savings to purchase company shares at a pre-agreed option price. For Severn Trent, such schemes form part of the company's broader employee benefits framework within the regulated utilities sector. The relatively modest scale of the October 2026 issuance — 27,153 shares against a total capital base exceeding 304 million shares — reflects routine satisfaction of employee scheme obligations rather than a significant capital-raising event. Investors may monitor future monthly disclosures for cumulative issuance trends under the block admission.
