AN OFFER FOR SALE OF ANY SECURITIES OR AN OFFER OR INVITATION TO PURCHASE

Fuller, Smith & Turner P.L.C. (“the Company”)
Share Buyback Programme
Further to the announcement made today regarding the completion of the
buyback programme initiated on 14 March 2025, the Company announces that
it has entered into a further arrangement with Numis Securities
Limited (“Deutsche Numis”) to repurchase up to 1 million “A” Ordinary
Shares of 40 pence each in the Company (“ “A” Ordinary Shares”) (the
“Programme”). This is consistent with the Company’s capital allocation
framework and reflects the Board’s view that the current share price
continues to represent a significant discount to the Company’s underlying
net asset value. The Programme aligns with the Company’s strategy of long
term sustainable growth and delivering value for our shareholders and is
expected to enhance earnings per share.
The share purchases will be made on the Company's behalf and in accordance
with the arrangement and, in the case of any purchases made during closed
periods and/or at any time when the Company has inside information, shall
be made independently of and uninfluenced by the Company.
Any purchase of “A” Ordinary Shares effected pursuant to this Programme
will be carried out on the London Stock Exchange and executed in
accordance with, and subject to limits prescribed by, the Listing Rules
and in accordance with the authorisation granted by shareholders.
Due to the limited liquidity in the issued “A” Ordinary Shares, any
buyback of “A” Ordinary Shares pursuant to the authority on any trading
day may represent a significant proportion of the daily trading volume in
the “A” Ordinary Shares on the London Stock Exchange and may exceed 25 per
cent. of the average daily trading volume, being the limit laid down in
Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 (as incorporated
into UK domestic law by the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018) and the
Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 (as incorporated
into UK domestic law by the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018) dealing
with buyback programmes and, accordingly, the Company will not benefit
from the exemption contained in that Article.
Any market purchase of “A” Ordinary Shares under the Programme will be
announced no later than 7:30 a.m. on the business day following the day on
which the purchase occurred.
