Pearson plc is affirming its commitment to delivering value to its shareholders by executing a share buyback of 136,138 of its own ordinary shares of 25 pence each on the London Stock Exchange. This move, which was conducted via Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc, epitomises Pearson’s strategic vision and consistent drive for generating stakeholder value.
