Balfour Beatty, the international infrastructure group, today announces that, further to the release of its full year results on 15 March 2023 it intends to repurchase up to a maximum aggregate consideration of £150 million of Ordinary Shares during the 2023 phase of the share buyback programme (the 'Share Buyback') (inclusive of the initial tranche of the 2023 share buyback of £50 million announced on 3 January 2023), which is intended to be completed before 31 December 2023.
The purpose of the share buyback is to reduce the share capital of Balfour Beatty, with the purchased shares to be held in treasury.
