Share buyback programme
Auto Trader Group plc (LSE: AUTO, "Auto Trader" or the
"Company"), the UK's largest digital automotive marketplace,
announces that it intends to continue with the rolling programme of
share buybacks as previously announced on 11 November 2021, and
will instruct its broker, Numis Securities Limited, to purchase
shares on its behalf.
The programme will continue on an ongoing basis under the
authority granted by shareholders at the Company's 2021 AGM on 17
September 2021, at which the Company's shareholders generally
authorised the Company to make market purchases of up to 96,678,535
of its ordinary shares, subject to minimum and maximum price
restrictions. This authority expires at the conclusion of the
Company's 2022 AGM. The aggregate number of shares acquired by the
Company pursuant to the programme shall not exceed the maximum
number of shares which the Company is authorised to purchase
pursuant to this authority.
The purpose of the share buyback programme is to reduce the
Company's share capital. It is intended that shares purchased under
this programme will be either held in treasury (to the extent
required to satisfy existing share awards under the Company's share
incentive plans) with the remainder being immediately
cancelled.
The share buyback programme will be conducted in accordance with
the Company's general authority to repurchase shares, Chapter 12 of
the UKLA Listing Rules and relevant conditions for trading,
restrictions regarding time and volume, disclosure and reporting
obligations, and price conditions.
