Whitehaven Coal resumes share buy-back reporting after ASX platform issue

Whitehaven Coal Limited (ASX:WHC) has announced the re-issue of an Appendix 3C Notification of Buy-back, effective December 2, 2025, to reset electronic reporting on its ongoing share buy-back program. This action follows operational issues experienced with the ASX platform on December 1, 2025, and does not signify a new buy-back initiative. The company confirmed its intention to buy back up to A$48 million in shares between August 22, 2025, and March 31, 2026, within the 10/12 limit.

Since August 22, 2025, Whitehaven has bought back approximately 4.5 million shares at a total cost of A$30.8 million. The re-issued Appendix 3C indicates a proposed maximum buy-back of 37,115,744 securities, with UBS Securities Australia Limited acting as the broker.

Concurrent filings include an Appendix 3E Daily Share Buy-back notice detailing recent buy-back activity, and an Appendix 3H Notification of Cessation of Securities. The Appendix 3E reported that on the previous day (December 1, 2025), 73,004 shares were bought back for A$508,892.63, with total shares bought back before this period amounting to 8,609,419 for A$53,267,800.51. The Appendix 3H confirms the cessation of 2,505,021 ordinary fully paid shares, cancelled between October 29, 2025, and December 2, 2025, at a total consideration of A$17,662,089.63, resulting in 827,991,365 ordinary fully paid shares remaining on issue.
