("Liontrust" or the "Company")

 

Share Buyback Programme

 

Liontrust announces that it intends to conduct on-market purchases under a
share buyback programme to repurchase ordinary shares of 1p each in the
capital of the Company (the "Ordinary Shares") equating to up to £5 million
(the "Buyback").

The Company has appointed Singer Capital Markets Securities Limited ("Singer
Capital Markets") to execute and manage the Buyback and has given an
irrevocable instruction to Singer Capital Markets to make market purchases
of Ordinary Shares on its behalf independently to the Company. The Buyback
will be conducted in accordance with Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No
596/2014, further to which the Company will not purchase on any trading day
more than 75,000 Ordinary Shares. The Buyback will run from the date of this
announcement to 31 March 2025, unless terminated earlier. Singer Capital
Markets will make its trading decisions in relation to the Ordinary Shares
independently of the Company.

The Company intends to conduct the Buyback within the limitations of the
shareholder authority granted at the Company's AGM held on 19 September 2024,
under which the maximum price which may be paid by the Company per Ordinary
Share shall not be more than the lower of 5 per cent above the average
middle market quotations for an Ordinary Share (as derived from the London
Stock Exchange Daily Official List) for the five business days immediately
preceding the date of repurchase, and the higher of the price of the last
independent trade and the highest current independent bid for an Ordinary
Share.

The Buyback will be funded from the Company's existing cash resources and
all Ordinary Shares repurchased will be cancelled, with the purpose of the
Buyback being to reduce the Company's issued share capital. Repurchases may
be made up to and including 31 March 2025.

There is no guarantee that the Buyback programme will be implemented in full
or that any repurchases will be made.

As at the time of this announcement, the Company's total issued share capital
consists of 64,935,384 Ordinary Shares with one voting right per share. The
Company does not hold any shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of
voting rights in the Company is 64,935,384.

The above figure of 64,935,384 may be used by shareholders as the denominator
for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to
notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under
the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
