Haleon plc: Second
Tranche of Share Buyback Programme
31 July 2025: Further
to the announcement made on 28 March 2025, Haleon plc (the
"Company", or "Haleon") today announces that it is commencing a
second tranche of the share buyback programme to purchase ordinary
shares of £0.01 each in the Company (the "Shares") up to an
aggregate consideration of £280 million (the "Second
Tranche").
Approximately £130 million worth of Shares will be repurchased
in the Second Tranche (representing the remainder
of the
£500 million allocated to share buybacks in 2025 announced on
27 February 2025). These Shares will be
cancelled.
In addition, approximately £150 million worth of Shares will
be repurchased as part of the Second Tranche for the purposes of
satisfying Haleon's obligations under its existing employee share
plans in 2026 and 2027. These Shares will be held as treasury
shares (with no voting or dividend rights).
The Second Tranche will commence immediately and end no later than
1 December 2025. The purpose of the Second Tranche is to reduce the
Company's share capital.
In connection with the Second Tranche, the Company has entered into
an irrevocable agreement with Citigroup Global Markets Limited
("Citi"), for the purchase by Citi of the Shares. Under the terms
of the agreement, any purchase of Shares by Citi will be carried
out on the London Stock Exchange and/or CBOE Europe Limited. Citi
will make trading decisions in relation to the Second Tranche
independently of Haleon with regard to the timing of the purchase,
including during any closed period.
Notes
The maximum number of Shares that may be purchased as part of the
Second Tranche under the Company's existing authority obtained at
its Annual General Meeting held on 28 May 2025 (the "2025
Authority") is 884,608,266, being the amount of the 2025 Authority
not yet utilised as at the date of this announcement.
Any purchases of Shares under the Second Tranche contemplated by
this announcement will be effected within certain pre-set
parameters and will be subject to the terms of the arrangement with
Citi. The Buyback Programme will operate in accordance with (i) the
2025 Authority; (ii) the assimilated UK Market Abuse Regulation No.
596/2014 and assimilated Commission Delegated Regulation (EU)
2016/1052 (in each case as they form part of law of the United
Kingdom by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018) (as
amended) and (iii) Chapter 9 of the UK Financial Conduct
Authority's UK Listing Rules.
On 26 June 2025, the Company completed the first tranche of its
share buyback programme. Between 28 March 2025 and 26 June 2025,
the Company repurchased 51,036,522 Shares for an aggregate
consideration of c. £200m. The Company had also repurchased
44,155,844 Shares from Pfizer for c. £170m by way of an
off-market share buyback on 21 March 2025.
