Update on Share Buyback Programme
NCC Group plc has amended its Share Buyback Programme, increasing the maximum aggregate consideration to £70 million or 31 million ordinary shares, with immediate effect. The programme now allows for daily purchases to exceed 25% but remain below 50% of the average daily trading volume, meaning it may not benefit from certain exemptions under UK MAR on days where this threshold is exceeded. No other changes have been made to the programme, which was initially announced on 21 January 2026. Disclaimer*
