ICG plc (the “Company”)
Total Voting Rights and Transaction in Own Shares
The Company announces that in the period from 27 April 2026 to 1 May 2026, in
accordance with the terms of its share buyback programme announced on 19
February 2026 (the “Share Buyback”), the Company has purchased 660,774
ordinary shares of nominal value of £0.2625 each in the capital of the
Company (the "Ordinary Shares") on the London Stock Exchange through Merrill
Lynch International (“BofA Securities”).
The Share Buyback is to enable the Company to issue Ordinary Non-Voting shares
to Amundi equal to the number of Ordinary Shares repurchased by the Company in
a manner that is non-dilutive to the Company’s existing shareholders in
connection with its strategic partnership with Amundi as announced on 18
November 2025 (the “Strategic Partnership Announcement”).

The Ordinary Shares acquired will be held in Treasury and will, in due course,

for any other purpose prior to cancellation.
Total Voting Rights
Following the settlement of the Ordinary Shares purchased, the Company will
have 294,373,624 Ordinary Shares in issue, of which 9,161,022 will be held in
Treasury, and 3,951,459 Ordinary Non-Voting shares in issue.
The shares held in Treasury and the Ordinary Non-Voting shares do not carry
voting rights. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is
285,212,602. This figure of 285,212,602 may be used by shareholders as the
denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are
required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the
Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
