Abstract:IG says it has given Goldman Sachs International non-discretionary instructions to carry out the second tranche of the share buyback program of up to £75 million for IG (based on certain pre-set parameters) and to make trading decisions about the program without consulting IG.

The biggest online trading company in the world, IG Group Holdings plc, said today that the second phase of its share buyback program has begun.
After announcing its Capital Allocation Framework and a share buyback program of up to £150 million in July 2022, IG says it has given Goldman Sachs International non-discretionary instructions for Goldman Sachs to carry out the second tranche of the share buyback program of up to £75 million for IG (based on certain pre-set parameters) and to make trading decisions about the program without consulting IG.
The program's sole purpose, according to IG, is to reduce share capital.
The Second Tranche will begin on May 25, 2022, and will end on or before May 31, 2023, with a maximum aggregate market value of £75 million. This is the second and final tranche of the up to £150 million share buyback program announced on July 21, 2022.
The first tranche began on July 21st, 2022, and ended on October 12th, 2022.
The Second Tranche will happen within the limits of the power given to the IG Board of Directors at its annual general meeting on September 21, 2022, which says that 43,015,803 shares are the most that can be bought.
