Funding Circle Launches New £25 Million Share Buyback Programme
What happened
Funding Circle announced it is commencing a new share buyback programme on the London Stock Exchange. The company stated that the buyback is intended to improve balance sheet efficiency by returning excess capital to shareholders. The programme allows for the purchase of ordinary shares up to a maximum consideration of £25 million and is expected to conclude by Q2 2027.

Why it matters
The company's board believes that the current trading price of ordinary shares materially undervalues Funding Circle's business. The buyback programme follows a successful third buyback programme completed on September 18, 2026.
