This represents 5.92% of its current issued and outstanding capital. Of these, 8,212,545 shares were cancelled, while 9,825,648 are held in Treasury. The Company now has 294,915,928 shares in circulation for voting rights calculation, with an overall issuance of 304,741,576 shares.

Following an announcement on 8 September, Funding Circle has launched a new £25 million buyback programme. This initiative aims to address undervaluation concerns and optimize balance sheet efficiency.

The programme will conclude by Q2 2027, with potential cancellation or Treasury retention of purchased shares for employee share schemes.
