Legal & General Group Repurchases Ordinary Shares in Their Continued Commitment to Strategic Share Buyback Programme

Published: 26 Mar 2025
Legal & General Group Plc has purchased and cancelled a total of 1.5 million ordinary shares in March 2025, demonstrating a robust implementation of their share buyback programme announced earlier in the month.

Carrying their strategic financial strategy forward, Legal & General Group Plc continues their commitment to the announced share buyback programme. On the 26th of March, 2025, the company repurchased 800,000 ordinary shares and two days later, on the 28th they announced the purchase of an additional 700,000 of its ordinary shares. The highest price paid per share in these buybacks sat at 245.60 pence, while the lowest was recorded at 242.70 pence.

Each of the shares was repurchased through Barclays Capital Securities Limited, Legal & General’s broker, and subsequently cancelled to strengthen the earnings per share for remaining shareholders and enhance the productive investment of surplus equity capital.

Legal & General Group’s adherence to the share buyback programme signals controlled financial management and confidence in the company’s internal strategies. The actions also echo the company’s commitment to offering shareholders maximum value from their investment.
