Jet2 plc (the "Company")
Launch of Share Buyback Programme
Jet2 plc, the Leisure Travel group, announces today that it has instructed Jefferies International Limited ("Jefferies") on its up to £100 million share buyback programme in respect of its ordinary shares of 1.25p each ("Ordinary Shares") (the "Share Buyback Programme"). Trading is expected to commence on 1 December 2025 and is anticipated to end on or before 30 June 2026.
Under this instruction, Jefferies will act as "riskless" principal and will make its trading decisions in relation to the Ordinary Shares independently of, and uninfluenced by, the Company in accordance with certain pre-set parameters, including those prescribed by the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 (as it forms part of UK law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (as amended)). Any purchases of Ordinary Shares by the Company will be effected in accordance with (and subject to the limits prescribed by) the Company's general authority to repurchase Ordinary Shares granted by its shareholders from time to time (at the Company's Annual General Meeting on 4 September 2025, shareholders gave the Company authority to purchase a maximum of 20,796,104 Ordinary Shares, of which 14,529,099 remain available as at the date of this announcement). The Share Buyback Programme will be discontinued if the Company ceases to have the necessary general authority to purchase Ordinary Shares.
All Ordinary Shares purchased will be cancelled.
The Company intends to announce any purchase of Ordinary Shares under the Share Buyback Programme on the business day following the calendar day on which the purchase occurred.
The person responsible for making this announcement on behalf of the Company is Gary Brown.
