Treasury Share Position Rises to 393,888 Shares Since September 2026 Buyback Launch

Following this latest purchase, Springfield Properties holds a cumulative total of 393,888 ordinary shares in treasury since the buyback programme was announced on 16 September 2026. Treasury shares carry no voting rights under UK company law, meaning they are excluded from shareholder voting calculations. The company's total shares in issue now stand at 119,586,248, of which 393,888 are held in treasury. The adjusted total voting rights figure, which shareholders and those with notification obligations must use as their denominator under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules, is 119,192,360.

Voting Rights Denominator Updated for FCA Disclosure and Transparency Obligations

The announcement explicitly confirms that the figure of 119,192,360 voting shares — which excludes the 393,888 treasury shares — should be used as the denominator by shareholders and others with notification obligations when calculating whether their interests trigger disclosure requirements under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules. This regulatory update is a standard but important component of buyback disclosures, ensuring market participants can accurately assess whether thresholds for notifiable interests have been crossed following any change in the company's voting share structure.

Scottish Housebuilder Continues Systematic Capital Return as Buyback Programme Progresses

Springfield Properties focuses exclusively on housebuilding in Scotland, a market with its own planning framework and housing demand dynamics distinct from the broader UK. The ongoing buyback programme, now entering its second month, signals that the board views returning capital to shareholders as a current priority. Investors may be watching whether the pace of buybacks accelerates or whether the programme has a defined ceiling, neither of which was disclosed in this announcement. The company's leadership team includes Chairman Sandy Adam, Chief Executive Officer Innes Smith, and Chief Financial Officer Iain Logan.
