Shell plc Announces Share Buyback as Part of Investment Portfolio Strategy
On September 1, 2025, Shell plc announced the purchase of its own shares for cancellation. This transaction is part of the company’s previously disclosed share buyback program, initiated on July 31, 2025.
Details of the Share Buyback Program
The aggregated information about shares bought is organized according to the trading venue. Both on-market and off-market purchases contribute to Shell's overall investment portfolio strategy. This activity helps with managing investments effectively and potentially reducing overall portfolio risk.
Independent Trading and Regulatory Compliance
HSBC Bank plc is responsible for making independent trading decisions for this buyback from July 31, 2025, through October 24, 2025. The on-market buyback operates within specific pre-set parameters and under Shell’s existing authority to repurchase shares. Off-market transactions are conducted according to a pre-approved contract aligned with Shell’s general authority and in line with the parameters established by shareholders.
The share repurchase program adheres to several regulatory frameworks, including:
- Chapter 9 of the UK Listing Rules
- Article 5 of the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) 596/2014
- UK versions of applicable EU financial statutes after Brexit
- The Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052, and its UK implementation
These regulations ensure transparent and fair management of the company’s stock portfolio.
