ICG Enterprise Trust plc completes latest share movement to treasury
Treasury shares increase, with corresponding market circulation update
Action taken under shareholder authority via Deutsche Numis
ICG Enterprise Trust plc, listed as (LON:ICGT) on the FTSE 250, operates in the private equity segment. The company recently conducted a transaction involving its own shares, transferring a specific number into treasury. This activity has led to a change in the company’s share structure and treasury.
Latest Share Movement Details
The transaction, completed on a recent trading day, involved the company acquiring a set quantity of its ordinary shares. These were transferred into treasury at an average market price. This movement adjusted both the total shares classified as treasury and the remaining shares in active circulation.
Authority and Oversight
This activity took place under the authority provided by shareholders at the company’s last Annual General Meeting. That mandate allows the company to manage its ordinary share base within defined boundaries. The authority remains valid until the next shareholder meeting or until it is formally withdrawn. While no fixed payment ceiling was established, the company does not permit any transactions that would result in a premium relative to its net asset valuation.
Execution by Appointed Broker
The company executed this action through Numis Securities Limited, trading as Deutsche Numis. This engagement complies with regulatory frameworks outlined by the UK Listing Authority and aligns with the company’s operational protocols for such market activities.
Updated Treasury and Market Figures
Following settlement, the number of treasury shares has increased, and the total shares available on the open market has been revised. The updated figures reflect changes in the company’s capital composition as a result of this transaction.
Governance and Capital Strategy
This development forms part of the company's broader approach to strategic capital management. Holding shares in treasury provides flexibility for future corporate actions and supports overall balance sheet objectives. ICG Enterprise Trust plc also features among FTSE Dividend Stocks, with a dividend policy contributing to its profile within income-focused portfolios.
Regulatory Compliance and Framework Alignment
All actions were undertaken within the scope of existing governance structures. The company continues to operate under shareholder authority, with share movements occurring based on internal discretion and in response to market dynamics. The appointment of a licensed broker ensures adherence to required listing rules and industry standards.
