FirstGroup plc (or the ‘Company’)                    announces that its
Board                    has agreed to reduce the number of shares held in
Treasury and will cancel 180,000,000 Treasury shares today.

 

The Company currently has 188,164,166 Ordinary Shares held in Treasury.
Following the cancellation, the Company’s share capital will consist of
570,695,015 Ordinary Shares of 5 pence each, and the Company will hold
