RNS Number : 3918V  Aviva PLC  05 March 2026

5 March 2026

 

Aviva plc to commence buyback of its ordinary shares for up to a maximum
aggregate consideration of £350 million

 

Aviva plc ("Aviva") announces it will commence a share buyback programme of
its ordinary shares ("Shares") for up to a maximum aggregate consideration of
£350 million (the "Programme"), commencing on 6 March 2026.

 

Aviva has entered into a non-discretionary agreement with Citigroup Global
Markets Limited ("Broker") to undertake the Programme by making market
purchases of the Shares. The Broker shall make trading decisions under the
Programme independently of Aviva, as principal. Shares acquired by the Broker
will subsequently be sold on to Aviva and, to the extent permitted by law,
such purchased Shares will be cancelled. The purpose of the Programme is
therefore to reduce Aviva's share capital. Purchases of Shares under the
Programme are expected to commence on 6 March 2026 and to be completed by 6
August 2026.

 

Note: Any purchase of Aviva Shares contemplated by this announcement will be
carried out on the London Stock Exchange and/or CBOE Europe Limited and will
be executed within certain pre-set parameters and in accordance with Aviva's
general authority to repurchase up to 267 million Shares granted by its
shareholders on 30 April 2025, Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014 and the
Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 (both as incorporated into UK
domestic law by the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018), and Chapter 9 of
the Financial Conduct Authority's Listing Rules.
