Anpario launches US$3.75M share buyback amid strong cash position

UK – Anpario, a manufacturer of natural feed additives for animal health, nutrition and biosecurity, has announced a share buyback programme worth up to US$3.75 million, reflecting confidence in its financial position and future growth.

The programme, which began on April 27, 2026, will run until no later than July 31, 2026, unless completed earlier. 

Under the plan, Anpario will repurchase up to 2,044,524 ordinary shares on the London Stock Exchange, with all acquired shares set to be cancelled.

The company said the move follows a strong financial performance, with a cash position of approximately US$15.5 million as of December 31, 2025. 

The board noted that this provides sufficient flexibility to return surplus capital to shareholders while continuing to invest in the business.

Anpario has appointed Shore Capital to execute the buyback independently, with trading decisions made on an irrevocable and non-discretionary basis.

The maximum price per share will not exceed 105% of the average middle market quotations over the five business days prior to purchase, or the higher of the last independent trade price and the highest current bid. 

The minimum purchase price has been set at 23 pence ( US$0.31) per share.

The company stated that the programme will be conducted in line with UK regulatory requirements, including the Market Abuse Regulation and Financial Conduct Authority rules.

The buyback comes as feed additive producers continue to navigate shifting market conditions, including demand for sustainable nutrition solutions and evolving livestock production systems. 

Anpario said the programme demonstrates its confidence in long-term market opportunities and its ability to generate cash while supporting innovation in feed additives.

The company added that it may carry out additional share purchases outside the programme if deemed appropriate, including block trades, under its existing shareholder authority.
