Standard Chartered updates voting rights, capital after share buy-back

Standard Chartered PLC confirmed that as of September 30, 2025, its issued ordinary share capital consists of 2,294,122,323 shares of US$0.50 each, with the total number of voting rights also standing at 2,294,122,323. This figure is the new denominator for shareholders to determine disclosure obligations, and the company states that it holds no shares in treasury.

The adjustment reflects share repurchases, including 516,467 ordinary shares bought from Goldman Sachs International on September 30, 2025. These shares were acquired across the London Stock Exchange, CBOE BXE, and CBOE CXE, with a volume-weighted average price of 1,435.98 pence. The aggregate price paid for these specific repurchases on September 30, 2025, was £7,416,719.19. Standard Chartered intends to cancel all purchased shares.

The company's board, comprising chair Maria da Conceicao das Neves Calha Ramos, executive directors William Thomas Winters and Diego De Giorgi, and several independent non-executive directors, has overseen these transactions. Since the May 8, 2025, resolution granting the repurchase mandate, 65,860,043 securities have been purchased on various exchanges, representing 2.7862% of shares in issue at the time of the resolution.
