Extension of Share Buyback Programme

 

Further to the announcement of 11 November 2025, Oxford Instruments plc (the
“Company”), a leading provider of high technology products and systems for
industry and research, announces that from today it will extend its share back
programme to purchase up to an additional £50 million                     of
the Company's ordinary shares of                     5 pence                
    each (the "Ordinary Shares") (the "Programme") by no later than 2 March
2027.

 

The purpose                     of the Programme is to reduce the Company's
share capital and accordingly the Company intends to cancel the Ordinary
Shares purchased under the Programme however the Company may transfer some
shares to Treasury to be used in relation to the Company’s employee share
option plans.

Any purchases will be conducted in compliance with the relevant conditions for
trading, restrictions regarding time and volume, disclosure and reporting
obligations, and price conditions. The Company confirms that it currently has
no unpublished Inside Information.

 

The Programme will be conducted by the Company in accordance with and under
the terms of the general authority granted by the Company's shareholders at
the Company's Annual General Meeting on                     28 July 2025,
which authority will expire at the end of the next Annual General Meeting of
the Company in 2026 or, if earlier, at the close of business on              
      30 September 2026 ("2025 Authority").                               
Purchases effected following the expiry of the 2025 Authority will be
conditional on a similar shareholder authority being granted at the Company's
annual general meeting to be held on 23 July 2026.           

 

The Company has appointed its broker J.P. Morgan Securities plc ("JPMS plc")
to manage the Programme and has issued an irrevocable instruction to J.P.
Morgan pursuant to continue to manage the Programme, within pre-set
parameters, during any closed period. JPMS plc shall purchase the Ordinary
Shares as riskless principal (and not as agent of the Company) for the
subsequent sale on to, and purchase by, the Company. JPMS plc will make its
trading decisions in relation to the Ordinary Shares independently of, and
uninfluenced by, the Company.

 

The Programme will be carried out on the London Stock Exchange and other
trading venues          1                     and executed within the
parameters of the Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014/EU and the Commission
Delegated Regulation 2016/1052/EU (as each forms part of domestic law under
the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, including where relevant pursuant to
the Market Abuse (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019) and Chapter 9 of the 
                   UK                     Listing Rules of the Financial
Conduct Authority.

 

The aggregate maximum consideration payable by the Company in respect of the
purchase of shares under the Programme is £50 million. The maximum number of
shares that may be purchased under the Programme is 3,735,869 (being the
number of shares remaining to be purchased under the 2025 Authority).
