Fidelity China Special Situations PLC repurchased and cancelled 127,963 ordinary shares on 17 December 2025 at an average price of 305.760 GBp per share (range 304.000–306.500 GBp). After the buyback the company's issued share capital is 562,025,258, total shares held in treasury are 85,629,548 and total voting rights are 476,395,710; the board notes the voting‑rights figure should be used as the denominator under the FCA’s Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules and that treasury shares carry no voting rights.
Fidelity China Special Situations PLC executed a small share repurchase on 17 December 2025, cancelling 127,963 ordinary shares at an average price of 305.760 GBp per share (range 304.000–306.500 GBp), representing an outlay of roughly £391k. The transaction is explicitly recorded as a cancellation and the per‑share price indicates management was willing to buy at a mid‑three pound level in pence terms. Following the cancellation the company's issued share capital stands at 562,025,258 shares, with 85,629,548 shares held in treasury (≈15.24% of issued capital) and total voting rights reduced to 476,395,710; the board highlights the voting‑rights figure for FCA disclosure calculations and confirms treasury shares carry no votes. The repurchase size is 0.0228% of issued capital, so it produces negligible immediate EPS accretion or NAV impact. The move is a governance signal consistent with capital‑return activity but has only a mildly positive market implication given the small quantum and modest market‑impact score. Investors should therefore treat this as confirmation of buyback authority and discipline on price, not as material capital allocation change, and watch for any acceleration in repurchases or commentary on available cash and buyback programme scope.
