Serco Group plc

(Serco or the Company)

Share Repurchase Programme

Serco today announces that, as outlined in the announcement of its 2023 Full Year Results on 29 February 2024, it intends to repurchase shares with a value of up to £140 million (the Programme).

Serco has instructed Barclays Capital Securities Limited (Barclays) and J.P. Morgan Securities plc (JPMS), together the Brokers, to execute the Programme.

Serco has entered into a non-discretionary and irrevocable instruction with Barclays in relation to the purchase by Barclays, acting as riskless principal during the period commencing today and ending no later than 5 August 2024, of the Company's Ordinary Shares of 2 pence each (Ordinary Shares) for an aggregate purchase price of up to £70 million.  Following completion, or any termination of such instruction, the Programme will continue under a second non-discretionary and irrevocable instruction with JPMS in relation to the purchase by JPMS, acting as riskless principal during the period commencing following the end of the Barclays instruction and ending no later than 31 December 2024, subject to suspension for certain exceptional and/or unforeseen circumstances, of further Ordinary Shares for an aggregate purchase price of up to £70 million.     

The aggregate number of shares acquired by the Company shall not exceed 115,617,039 Ordinary Shares as authorised by shareholders at the 2023 Annual General Meeting. It is intended that any Ordinary Shares purchased under the Programme will be transferred into treasury and subsequently cancelled. This arrangement is in accordance with Chapter 12 of the Financial Conduct Authority's Listing Rules and the Company's general authority to repurchase shares.

The aggregate purchase price of the Ordinary Shares bought by the Brokers under the two instructions shall be no greater than £140 million. Each of the Brokers shall make a simultaneous on-sale of Ordinary Shares purchased under the instructions to Serco. The Brokers will make their trading decisions in relation to the Programme independently of, and uninfluenced by, Serco.

The Brokers may undertake transactions in Ordinary Shares (which may include sales and hedging activities, in addition to purchases which may take place on any available trading venue or on an over the counter basis) during the period of the Programme in order to manage their market exposure under the Programme. Disclosure of such transactions will not be made by the relevant Broker as a result of or as part of the Programme, but the Brokers will continue to make any disclosures they are otherwise legally required to make.
