Completion of Share Buyback Programme

IP Group plc (LSE: IPO) ("IP Group" or "the Group"), announces that on 18 November 2025 it successfully completed the £20m extension to its share buyback programme that was originally announced on 26 June 2025. 

Since commencing its buyback programme, the Group has purchased 157,968,634 shares at an average price of 47.5 pence per share for an aggregate consideration of £75m ("the Buyback Programme"). All shares acquired under the Buyback Programme have been, or will shortly be, cancelled.

Following such cancellation, the Company's issued share capital consists of 883,427,642 Ordinary Shares with voting rights and there are no Ordinary Shares held in treasury.

Share buybacks will remain an important part of IP Group's Capital Allocation Policy. The Group will keep further buybacks under review, subject to the achievement of additional realisations within the portfolio.
