Fidelity Emerging Markets Limited repurchased for cancellation 125,209 shares on 8 December 2025 at an average price of 1,003.83 GBp per share (range 998–1,008 GBp). Following the transaction the company's issued share capital is 54,100,255, treasury holdings total 9,025,940 and total voting rights are 45,074,316, which shareholders should use as the denominator for FCA notification thresholds. The buyback modestly reduces the company's outstanding equity and voting base.
Fidelity Emerging Markets Limited repurchased for cancellation 125,209 ordinary shares on 08 December 2025 at an average price of 1,003.83 GBp per share (range 998.00–1,008.00 GBp), a transaction announced by the board. The buyback was executed for cancellation rather than transfer to treasury, and is explicitly recorded alongside the company's issued share capital and treasury holdings. Following the cancellation the company's issued share capital stands at 54,100,255 with 9,025,940 shares held in treasury and total voting rights reduced to 45,074,316; the repurchase represents approximately 0.23% of issued share capital. The company notes that treasury shares carry no voting rights and that the updated voting-rights figure should be used by shareholders for FCA notification thresholds. The size of the repurchase is modest relative to issued capital and treasury stock, implying limited immediate market impact or material NAV per-share change but a mildly positive governance signal that management is willing to deploy cash to reduce equity. Investors should view this as an incremental capital-return measure that can support EPS marginally and sentiment modestly, while monitoring for any broader buyback programme or changes to distribution policy which would have larger financial consequences.
