What Changed

NBPE, the London-listed private equity investment company, confirmed that it purchased 50,000 Class A Shares on 11 September 2026. The trade was executed through Jefferies International Limited, acting as the company's buy-back agent. Every share in the transaction changed hands at the same price, £14.70, which stood as both the highest and lowest price paid in the deal. Once the purchase settled, NBPE cancelled the shares rather than holding them for resale.

The cancellation leaves NBPE with 3,150,408 shares held in treasury and 38,891,702 Class A Shares outstanding. That outstanding figure is also the number NBPE will use when calculating voting rights for disclosure and transparency reporting purposes.
