· Issued by Moonpig Group PLC via PR Newswire

Summary by 6ix AI

Moonpig Group plc, an online greeting cards and gifting company, began a share buyback on November 3, 2026 to repurchase up to £32.5 million of its ordinary shares. The programme covers the second half of its 2027 financial year and follows its March 18, 2026 announcement.

Key details

  • RBC Europe Limited will buy the shares in its own name and then sell them on to the company, rather than acting as the company's agent. RBC will make its trading decisions independently of the company, within pre-set limits agreed with the company.
  • Purchases will be made on the London Stock Exchange, in line with the shareholder authority, UK Financial Conduct Authority listing rules and market abuse rules.
  • The company's policy is to buy back shares only when this uses excess capital and adds to earnings.

What’s still pending

  • The programme runs until April 30, 2027, or until the company gives notice that it is ending.
  • The £32.5 million is a maximum, and purchases are subject to the limits of the shareholder authority and the applicable rules.

Moonpig Group plc

Share Repurchase Programme

Moonpig Group plc (the "Company") announces that further to the announcement on
18 March 2026, it is today commencing a H2 FY27 share buyback programme (the
"Share Buyback Programme") to repurchase up to £32.5 million of its ordinary
shares (the "Shares").

The Share Buyback Programme will run from the date of this announcement until
either 30 April 2027 or until notified by the Company. The Company's policy with
respect to share buybacks is that it will only conduct share buybacks when they
use excess capital and they are earnings enhancing.

The Share Buyback Programme will operate under the authority granted at the
Company's 2026 Annual General Meeting, by which the Company was authorised to
repurchase up to a maximum amount of 45,254,684 Shares (the "Share Buyback
Authority"). As at 2 November 2026, the remaining headroom under this authority
was 42,172,367 Shares. The purpose of the Share Buyback Programme is to return
excess capital to shareholders and reduce the capital of the Company. Shares
bought back under the Share Buyback Programme are intended to be cancelled.

In order to implement the Share Buyback Programme, RBC Europe Limited ("RBC")
shall purchase ordinary shares as riskless principal (and not as agent of the
Company) for the subsequent sale on to, and purchase by, the Company. RBC will
make its trading decisions in relation to the ordinary shares independently of,
and uninfluenced by, the Company, and in accordance with certain pre-set
parameters agreed with the Company. Any purchases of Ordinary Shares under the
Share Buyback Programme will be carried out on the London Stock Exchange and in
accordance with (and subject to the limits prescribed by) the Share Buyback
Authority, Chapter 9 of the Financial Conduct Authority's Listing Rules, Article
5(1) of the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 (as it forms part of
domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, as amended
(the "Withdrawal Act")) and the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No
2016/1052 (as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the Withdrawal Act).
