International Plc on the London Stock Exchange and Multilateral Trading Facilities in accordance with the authority granted by shareholders at the Company's Annual General Meeting on 2 May 2024 (the "Purchase").

Following the above transaction, the Company holds 46,858,199 of its ordinary shares in treasury and has 4,005,550,995 ordinary shares in issue (excluding treasury shares).
