Fidelity Emerging Markets Limited repurchased and cancelled 50,000 ordinary shares on 12 December 2025 at an average price of 1,018.94 GBp per share (range 1,016–1,020 GBp). Following the transaction the company's issued share capital is 53,899,567, total shares held in treasury are 9,025,940 and total voting rights are 44,873,628 (the figure to be used as the FCA disclosure denominator; treasury shares carry no voting rights). The buyback is modest (around 0.09% of issued capital) but formally reduces shares in issue and adjusts the voting-rights base for shareholders and disclosure purposes.
Fidelity Emerging Markets Limited repurchased and cancelled 50,000 ordinary shares on 12 December 2025 at an average price of 1,018.94 GBp per share (range 1,016–1,020 GBp). Following the cancellation the company's issued share capital is 53,899,567, total shares held in treasury are 9,025,940 and the total voting rights figure is 44,873,628, which the company notes should be used as the FCA disclosure denominator. The repurchase represents a very small reduction in issued capital (approximately 0.09%), so the direct financial impact on metrics such as EPS or NAV per share will be immaterial at this size. The action formally reduces issued share capital and adjusts the disclosure base; treasury shares continue to carry no voting rights, preserving the stated voting-rights tally. The announcement is a modestly positive governance signal that management is deploying cash to buy back stock, consistent with the provided mildly positive sentiment and low market-impact scores. Investors should view this as incremental support for the share price rather than a material capital-return program and should watch for further buyback cadence or changes in treasury-share levels to reassess significance.
