NatWest Group plc executed a share repurchase program during the week ended 31 March 2026, acquiring 585,080 ordinary shares across three transactions on LSE and BATE venues, with volume-weighted average prices ranging from 542.6705 to 549.8374 GBp per share; all repurchased shares are intended for cancellation.
This 6-K discloses routine share repurchases conducted by NatWest Group plc under its existing buyback programme, consistent with prior announcements and regulatory disclosures. The purchases—totaling 585,080 Ordinary Shares over two days across the London Stock Exchange (LSE) and BATE venues—reflect disciplined execution within pre-authorized parameters and market liquidity conditions. All repurchased shares are designated for cancellation, directly reducing the number of shares in issue and supporting earnings per share metrics without altering dividend policy or capital allocation priorities. The disclosed volume-weighted average prices (542.6705–549.8374 GBp) indicate modest intra-week price appreciation and tight execution spreads, suggesting efficient order routing and minimal market impact. With 194.9 million shares now held in treasury and nearly 7.981 billion shares outstanding post-settlement, the activity represents a small but measurable step toward the Company’s stated capital return objectives. No new authorisation, revised timeline, or change in programme scope is disclosed; this filing serves solely as a mandatory regulatory update under UK MAR and SEC Form 6-K requirements.
