Interim Results

KCR Residential Reit PLC

**Summary of KCR Residential REIT PLC Interim Results for H1 2026**
**Overview**
KCR Residential REIT PLC, a UK-based residential REIT, reported unaudited consolidated results for the six months ending 31 December 2025. The period saw continued growth in core rental income, driven by improved performance at Deanery Court and incremental rental increases across the portfolio. Despite challenging operating conditions, including higher interest rates and inflationary pressures, the company made progress in optimizing asset performance and controlling costs.
**Key Highlights**
1. **Revenue Growth**
Revenue increased by 15% to £1,092k (H1 2024: £950k), primarily due to improved performance at Deanery Court and rental increases across the portfolio.
Deanery Court achieved an average occupancy of 86% (H1 2024: 66%), while the rest of the portfolio maintained strong occupancy (>97%).
2. **Operational Performance**
Positive operating cash flow rose to £218k (H1 2024: £32k), the strongest outcome to date, reflecting the success of the business plan over the past five years.
Net cash used in operating activities reduced by 31% to £180k (H1 2024: £261k), despite higher finance costs.
3. **Cost Management**
Inflationary pressures made cost reductions challenging, but costs were tightly controlled.
Cost-saving measures implemented during the period are expected to reduce administrative expenses and cost of sales in H2 2026.
4. **Strategic Focus**
The company remains focused on optimizing existing assets, upgrading portfolio quality, exploring development opportunities, and controlling costs.
Lease expiries and tenant churn are actively managed to maximize rental income.
5. **Financial Performance**
Gross profit increased by 16% to £841k (H1 2024: £723k), with a gross margin of 77% (H1 2024: 76.10%).
Operating profit before separately disclosed items was £76k (H1 2024: £798k), with the prior year benefiting from non-cash revaluation gains.
Loss for the period was £377k (H1 2024£433k profit), primarily due to higher finance costs.
6. **Portfolio Updates**
Refurbishment works at Heathside were completed, with two flats now being let.
The transition of Coleherne Road to a minimum six-month tenancy period was successfully completed, expected to stabilize income and reduce operating costs.
Planning submissions for Ladbroke Grove properties are pending, with a strategy to be formalized upon outcome.
7. **Cash Position**
Cash balances at period-end were £0.43m (H1 2024: £0.47m), with ongoing efforts to achieve a cash-neutral position.
**Challenges and Outlook**
Higher finance costs and inflationary pressures continue to challenge the company’s cash neutrality goal.
Tightness in debt markets and higher debt costs limit acquisition opportunities.
The company expects further improvements in operational performance and cost control over the next 12 months.
**Conclusion**
KCR Residential REIT PLC demonstrated resilience in H1 2026, achieving revenue growth and operational improvements despite a challenging environment. The company remains committed to its strategic objectives, focusing on asset optimization and cost management to drive long-term value for shareholders.

Share Buyback Programme

Boku Inc

**Summary**
Boku, Inc. (AIMBOKU), a global network of Local Payment Methods (LPMs), announced on March 17, 2026, the launch of a share buyback programme. The companys board approved the repurchase of up to 4,000,000 common shares (approximately 5% of its issued common stock) to be held in Treasury. This decision is driven by the belief that the current share price undervalues the company, and the buyback represents a strategic use of its growing cash reserves while supporting long-term growth plans. The programme aims to minimize future shareholder dilution by using repurchased shares for warrant obligations or staff equity remuneration.
Investec Bank plc will execute the buyback, adhering to pre-set parameters, including price limits based on market averages and independent trades. The programme will run from March 17, 2026, to September 30, 2026, or until the maximum number of shares is purchased. Due to limited trading liquidity, the buyback may represent a significant portion of daily trading volume, exempting the company from certain UK Market Abuse Regulation provisions.
Boku, founded in 2008 and headquartered in London, provides merchants with access to over 7 billion consumer payment accounts worldwide through its network of payment methods. The company serves major technology, media, and entertainment firms, offering services like Direct Carrier Billing, Digital Wallets, and cross-border funds settlement.

Launch of Share Buyback Programme

The Pebble Group PLC

**Summary**
The Pebble Group PLC, a leading provider of digital commerce and related services to the global promotional products industry, announced the launch of a share buyback programme on March 17, 2026. The programme, authorized by the Board, aims to repurchase up to £5.0 million worth of ordinary shares or a maximum of 16,112,332 shares, whichever limit is reached first. This initiative reflects the Boards confidence in the companys future value and its commitment to enhancing shareholder returns while maintaining focus on strategic investments.
The buyback will be executed by Panmure Liberum Limited, acting as a "riskless" principal, with purchases made on the London Stock Exchange within pre-set parameters. The maximum price per share will not exceed 105% of the average middle market quotation over the preceding five business days, with a minimum price of £0.01. Purchased shares will be cancelled.
The programme may account for a significant portion of daily trading volume due to limited liquidity in the shares, potentially exceeding 25% of average daily traded volume. It will terminate upon reaching the maximum amount, the conclusion of the 2026 AGM (if authority is not renewed), or by December 31, 2026, whichever occurs first.

Publication of Exit Tender Offer Circular

Impax Environmental Markets PLC

**Summary**
Impax Environmental Markets PLC (IEM) has published an Exit Tender Offer Circular, offering eligible shareholders the option to sell up to 100% of their ordinary shares at a tender price based on the final asset value. This decision follows the failure of the Continuation Tender Offer, which was launched in January 2026, due to Saba – the largest shareholder with 22.1% holding – not tendering its shares. The Board, after extensive engagement with shareholders, concluded that the Exit Tender Offer is the best solution to protect non-Saba shareholders from potential control by Saba, which does not align with IEMs environmental objectives.
**Key Points**
1. **Exit Tender Offer** Shareholders can sell their shares for cash, with the tender price based on the final asset value of the tender pool.
2. **Reason for Offer** Sabas refusal to tender shares in the Continuation Tender Offer led to its cancellation, prompting the Board to propose the Exit Tender Offer.
3. **Shareholder Approval** The offer requires approval from over 50% of voting shareholders at the General Meeting on April 16, 2026.
4. **Director Support** All directors intend to vote in favor of the offer and tender their shares, emphasizing their belief in its fairness.
5. **Timeline** The offer opens on March 17, 2026, with a closing date of April 17, 2026. Payments are expected by the end of May 2026.
6. **Risks** Shareholders remaining post-offer may face a Saba-controlled company, with potential changes to strategy and objectives.
7. **Regulatory Notes** The offer is not available in certain jurisdictions (e.g., Canada, Japan, South Africa) and has specific conditions for U.S. and New Zealand shareholders.
**Conclusion**
The Exit Tender Offer aims to provide shareholders with an exit option at close to net asset value, addressing concerns over Sabas influence. Shareholders are urged to review the Circular and participate in the General Meeting to vote on the proposal. The outcome will significantly impact IEMs future structure and shareholder base.

Awarding of Orphan Drug Designation by the FDA

CRISM Therapeutics Corporation

**Summary**
CRISM Therapeutics Corporation announced on March 17, 2026, that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) to irinotecan for the treatment of malignant glioma, including all high-grade (Grade III and IV) gliomas. This designation is a significant regulatory and commercial milestone, providing incentives such as seven years of U.S. market exclusivity, tax credits for clinical trials, and exemption from FDA application fees.

These designations strengthen the development and commercial potential of the irinotecan-ChemoSeed program, positioning it for streamlined global regulatory development, including potential participation in international collaborative review programs like Project Orbis. CRISM’s Chief Scientific Officer, Professor Chris McConville, highlighted the strategic importance of these achievements in advancing the company’s oncology assets to address unmet medical needs. The company remains focused on its registration-grade Phase 2 clinical trial of Irinotecan ChemoSeed for surgically resectable glioblastoma.

Preliminary Results

Primary Health Properties

**Summary**
Primary Health Properties PLC (PHP) announced its preliminary results for the year ended December 31, 2025, highlighting a transformative year marked by the successful combination with Assura plc, creating a £6 billion healthcare REIT focused on critical social infrastructure assets across the UK and Ireland. The merger received overwhelming shareholder support and is expected to deliver financial and strategic benefits, including £9 million in annualized synergies. PHP achieved over 80% of these synergies ahead of schedule and received offers for a new strategic joint venture on its private hospital portfolio. The company also agreed to inject a £103 million portfolio into an existing joint venture to reduce leverage.
Financial highlights include a 49% increase in net rental income to £230 million, a 41% rise in adjusted earnings to £131 million, and a 3% dividend increase to 7.1 pence per share. The property portfolio valuation grew by 115% to £6.0 billion, with a net initial yield of 5.4%. PHP maintained its 30-year track record of dividend growth, with a 3% increase in the dividend per share.
The company’s strategic focus includes reducing leverage, integrating Assura, and leveraging the NHSs 10-year Health Plan, which emphasizes modern primary care facilities. PHP is well-positioned to support this transition, given its long-standing NHS partnerships. The rental growth outlook remains positive, with a 3.2% increase in 2025 and a 3.4% annualized growth rate in early 2026.
PHP’s balance sheet remains robust, with significant liquidity headroom and a clear plan to reduce its loan-to-value ratio to the targeted 40-50% range. The company is committed to its progressive dividend policy, fully covered by adjusted earnings, and aims to maintain its position as a leading investor in healthcare infrastructure.

Year End Trading Update

Intercede Group

**Summary**
Intercede Group PLC, a leading cybersecurity software company specializing in digital identities, released its year-end trading update for the financial year ending 31 March 2026 (FY26). The company expects continued growth in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) driven by increased support, maintenance revenues, and adoption of subscription-based licensing. However, full-year revenue is anticipated to be 8-9% below market expectations due to procurement delays, particularly in the United States, and customer purchasing deferrals caused by geopolitical uncertainties, including the Middle East conflict. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be 15-18% below expectations due to reduced revenues and ongoing strategic investments.
Despite these challenges, Intercede emphasizes that delayed opportunities are not lost, with active customer engagements and improved order intake momentum in H2 FY26. The company maintains a strong cash position, a debt-free balance sheet, and reaffirms its FY27 revenue target of £21 million, reflecting confidence in the timing of delayed opportunities converting into orders as conditions stabilize. The strategic shift to a subscription-based model is accelerating, enhancing revenue quality and predictability. CEO Klaas van der Leest highlighted the robustness of the pipeline, the transition to recurring revenue, and the company’s strong financial position, positioning Intercede for long-term growth and shareholder value. A more detailed trading update is scheduled for 9 April 2026.

Share Buyback Programme

Boku Inc

**Summary**
Boku, Inc. (AIMBOKU), a global network of Local Payment Methods (LPMs), announced on March 17, 2026, the launch of a share buyback programme. The companys board approved the repurchase of up to 4,000,000 common shares (approximately 5% of its issued common stock) to be held in Treasury. This decision is driven by the belief that the current share price undervalues the company, and the buyback represents a strategic use of its growing cash reserves while supporting long-term growth plans. The programme aims to minimize future shareholder dilution by using repurchased shares for warrant obligations or staff equity remuneration.
Investec Bank plc will execute the buyback, adhering to pre-set parameters, including price limits based on market averages and independent trades. The programme will run from March 17, 2026, to September 30, 2026, or until the maximum number of shares is purchased. Due to limited trading liquidity, the buyback may represent a significant portion of daily trading volume, exempting the company from certain UK Market Abuse Regulation provisions.
Boku, founded in 2008 and headquartered in London, provides merchants with access to over 7 billion consumer payment accounts worldwide through its network of payment methods. The company serves major technology, media, and entertainment firms, offering services like Direct Carrier Billing, Digital Wallets, and cross-border funds settlement.

Awarding of Orphan Drug Designation by the FDA

CRISM Therapeutics Corporation

**Summary**
CRISM Therapeutics Corporation announced on March 17, 2026, that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) to irinotecan for the treatment of malignant glioma, including all high-grade (Grade III and IV) gliomas. This designation is a significant regulatory and commercial milestone, providing incentives such as seven years of U.S. market exclusivity, tax credits for clinical trials, and exemption from FDA application fees. The ODD complements CRISM’s previously granted Innovation Passport for its ChemoSeed™ platform by the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) under the Innovative Licensing and Access Pathway (ILAP). These designations strengthen the development and commercial potential of the irinotecan-ChemoSeed program, positioning it for streamlined global regulatory development, including potential participation in international collaborative review programs like Project Orbis. CRISM’s Chief Scientific Officer, Professor Chris McConville, highlighted the strategic importance of these achievements in advancing the company’s oncology assets to address unmet medical needs. The company remains focused on its registration-grade Phase 2 clinical trial of Irinotecan ChemoSeed for surgically resectable glioblastoma.

Launch of Share Buyback Programme

The Pebble Group PLC

**Summary**
The Pebble Group PLC, a leading provider of digital commerce and related services to the global promotional products industry, announced the launch of a share buyback programme on March 17, 2026. The programme, authorized by the Board, aims to repurchase up to £5.0 million worth of ordinary shares or a maximum of 16,112,332 shares, whichever limit is reached first. This initiative reflects the Boards confidence in the companys future value and its commitment to enhancing shareholder returns while maintaining focus on strategic investments.
The buyback will be executed by Panmure Liberum Limited, acting as a "riskless" principal, with purchases made on the London Stock Exchange within pre-set parameters. The maximum price per share will not exceed 105% of the average middle market quotation over the preceding five business days, with a minimum price of £0.01. Purchased shares will be cancelled.
The programme may account for a significant portion of daily trading volume due to limited liquidity in the shares, potentially exceeding 25% of average daily traded volume. It will terminate upon reaching the maximum amount, the conclusion of the 2026 AGM (if authority is not renewed), or by December 31, 2026, whichever occurs first. All purchases will be announced by 7:30 am (UK time) on the following business day. The company confirmed it has no inside information at the time of the announcement.

Publication of Exit Tender Offer Circular

Impax Environmental Markets PLC

**Summary**
Impax Environmental Markets PLC (IEM) has published an Exit Tender Offer Circular, offering eligible shareholders the option to sell up to 100% of their ordinary shares at a tender price based on the final asset value. This decision follows the failure of the Continuation Tender Offer, which was launched in January 2026, due to Saba – the largest shareholder with 22.1% holding – not tendering its shares. The Board, after extensive engagement with shareholders, concluded that the Exit Tender Offer is the best solution to protect non-Saba shareholders from potential control by Saba, which does not align with IEMs environmental objectives.
**Key Points**
1. **Exit Tender Offer** Shareholders can sell their shares for cash, with the tender price based on the final asset value of the tender pool.
2. **Reason for Offer** Sabas refusal to tender shares in the Continuation Tender Offer led to its cancellation, prompting the Board to propose the Exit Tender Offer.
3. **Shareholder Approval** The offer requires approval from over 50% of voting shareholders at the General Meeting on April 16, 2026.
4. **Director Support** All directors intend to vote in favor of the offer and tender their shares, emphasizing their belief in its fairness.
5. **Timeline** The offer opens on March 17, 2026, with a closing date of April 17, 2026. Payments are expected by the end of May 2026.
6. **Risks** Shareholders remaining post-offer may face a Saba-controlled company, with potential changes to strategy and objectives.
7. **Regulatory Notes** The offer is not available in certain jurisdictions (e.g., Canada, Japan, South Africa) and has specific conditions for U.S. and New Zealand shareholders.
**Conclusion**
The Exit Tender Offer aims to provide shareholders with an exit option at close to net asset value, addressing concerns over Sabas influence. Shareholders are urged to review the Circular and participate in the General Meeting to vote on the proposal. The outcome will significantly impact IEMs future structure and shareholder base.

**Property**Adjusted operating profit declined to £29.8 million (H1 2025: £42.1 million) due to softer demand and increased impairment charges.

Year End Trading Update

Intercede Group

**Summary**
Intercede Group PLC, a leading cybersecurity software company specializing in digital identities, released its year-end trading update for the financial year ending 31 March 2026 (FY26). The company expects continued growth in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) driven by increased support, maintenance revenues, and adoption of subscription-based licensing. However, full-year revenue is anticipated to be 8-9% below market expectations due to procurement delays, particularly in the United States, and customer purchasing deferrals caused by geopolitical uncertainties, including the Middle East conflict. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be 15-18% below expectations due to reduced revenues and ongoing strategic investments.
Despite these challenges, Intercede emphasizes that delayed opportunities are not lost, with active customer engagements and improved order intake momentum in H2 FY26. The company maintains a strong cash position, a debt-free balance sheet, and reaffirms its FY27 revenue target of £21 million, reflecting confidence in the timing of delayed opportunities converting into orders as conditions stabilize. The strategic shift to a subscription-based model is accelerating, enhancing revenue quality and predictability. CEO Klaas van der Leest highlighted the robustness of the pipeline, the transition to recurring revenue, and the company’s strong financial position, positioning Intercede for long-term growth and shareholder value. A more detailed trading update is scheduled for 9 April 2026.

Boku Inc
Positive
**Summary:** Boku, Inc. (AIM: BOKU), a global network of Local Payment Methods (LPMs), announced on March 17, 2026, the launch of a share buyback programme. The companys board approved the repurchase of up to 4,000,000 common shares (approximately 5% of its issued common stock) to be held in Treasury. This decision is driven by the belief that the current share price undervalues the company, and the buyback represents a strategic use of its growing cash reserves while supporting long-term growth plans. The programme aims to minimize future shareholder dilution by using repurchased shares for warrant obligations or staff equity remuneration. Investec Bank plc will execute the buyback, adhering to pre-set parameters, including price limits based on market averages and independent trades. The programme will run from March 17, 2026, to September 30, 2026, or until the maximum number of shares is purchased. Due to limited trading liquidity, the buyback may represent a significant portion of daily trading volume, exempting the company from certain UK Market Abuse Regulation provisions. Boku, founded in 2008 and headquartered in London, provides merchants with access to over 7 billion consumer payment accounts worldwide through its network of payment methods. The company serves major technology, media, and entertainment firms, offering services like Direct Carrier Billing, Digital Wallets, and cross-border funds settlement.

**Summary:** The Pebble Group PLC, a leading provider of digital commerce and related services to the global promotional products industry, announced the launch of a share buyback programme on March 17, 2026. The programme, authorized by the Board, aims to repurchase up to £5.0 million worth of ordinary shares or a maximum of 16,112,332 shares, whichever limit is reached first. This initiative reflects the Boards confidence in the companys future value and its commitment to enhancing shareholder returns while maintaining focus on strategic investments. The buyback will be executed by Panmure Liberum Limited, acting as a "riskless" principal, with purchases made on the London Stock Exchange within pre-set parameters. The maximum price per share will not exceed 105% of the average middle market quotation over the preceding five business days, with a minimum price of £0.01. Purchased shares will be cancelled. The programme may account for a significant portion of daily trading volume due to limited liquidity in the shares, potentially exceeding 25% of average daily traded volume. It will terminate upon reaching the maximum amount, the conclusion of the 2026 AGM (if authority is not renewed), or by December 31, 2026, whichever occurs first.

Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch (trading as Deutsche Numis), will manage the purchases on a non-discretionary basis, adhering to pre-set parameters and regulatory requirements. The shares will be purchased on the London Stock Exchange and other trading venues, with the sole purpose of reducing Trustpilot’s share capital through cancellation of the repurchased shares. The programme will operate within the authority granted by shareholders at the 2025 Annual General Meeting and, if approved, the 2026 Annual General Meeting, and will comply with EU and UK financial regulations. The buyback is expected to terminate by 31 December 2026 or upon reaching the maximum purchase limits. Trustpilot will disclose any share repurchases within seven trading days of occurrence. The company, founded in 2007, continues to grow its global presence with over 361 million reviews and 1,000 employees across multiple international offices.

Impax Environmental Markets PLC
Positive
**Summary:** Impax Environmental Markets PLC (IEM) has published an Exit Tender Offer Circular, offering eligible shareholders the option to sell up to 100% of their ordinary shares at a tender price based on the final asset value. This decision follows the failure of the Continuation Tender Offer, which was launched in January 2026, due to Saba – the largest shareholder with 22.1% holding – not tendering its shares. The Board, after extensive engagement with shareholders, concluded that the Exit Tender Offer is the best solution to protect non-Saba shareholders from potential control by Saba, which does not align with IEMs environmental objectives. **Key Points:** 1. **Exit Tender Offer:** Shareholders can sell their shares for cash, with the tender price based on the final asset value of the tender pool. 2. **Reason for Offer:** Sabas refusal to tender shares in the Continuation Tender Offer led to its cancellation, prompting the Board to propose the Exit Tender Offer. 3. **Shareholder Approval:** The offer requires approval from over 50% of voting shareholders at the General Meeting on April 16, 2026. 4. **Director Support:** All directors intend to vote in favor of the offer and tender their shares, emphasizing their belief in its fairness. 5. **Timeline:** The offer opens on March 17, 2026, with a closing date of April 17, 2026. Payments are expected by the end of May 2026. 6. **Risks:** Shareholders remaining post-offer may face a Saba-controlled company, with potential changes to strategy and objectives. 7. **Regulatory Notes:** The offer is not available in certain jurisdictions (e.g., Canada, Japan, South Africa) and has specific conditions for U.S. and New Zealand shareholders. **Conclusion:** The Exit Tender Offer aims to provide shareholders with an exit option at close to net asset value, addressing concerns over Sabas influence. Shareholders are urged to review the Circular and participate in the General Meeting to vote on the proposal. The outcome will significantly impact IEMs future structure and shareholder base.

**Summary:** Intercede Group PLC, a leading cybersecurity software company specializing in digital identities, released its year-end trading update for the financial year ending 31 March 2026 (FY26). The company expects continued growth in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) driven by increased support, maintenance revenues, and adoption of subscription-based licensing. However, full-year revenue is anticipated to be 8-9% below market expectations due to procurement delays, particularly in the United States, and customer purchasing deferrals caused by geopolitical uncertainties, including the Middle East conflict. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be 15-18% below expectations due to reduced revenues and ongoing strategic investments. Despite these challenges, Intercede emphasizes that delayed opportunities are not lost, with active customer engagements and improved order intake momentum in H2 FY26. The company maintains a strong cash position, a debt-free balance sheet, and reaffirms its FY27 revenue target of £21 million, reflecting confidence in the timing of delayed opportunities converting into orders as conditions stabilize. The strategic shift to a subscription-based model is accelerating, enhancing revenue quality and predictability. CEO Klaas van der Leest highlighted the robustness of the pipeline, the transition to recurring revenue, and the company’s strong financial position, positioning Intercede for long-term growth and shareholder value. A more detailed trading update is scheduled for 9 April 2026.

**Summary of KCR Residential REIT PLC Interim Results for H1 2026**
**Overview**
KCR Residential REIT PLC, a UK-based residential REIT, reported unaudited consolidated results for the six months ending 31 December 2025. The period saw continued growth in core rental income, driven by improved performance at Deanery Court and incremental rental increases across the portfolio. Despite challenging operating conditions, including higher interest rates and inflationary pressures, the company made progress in optimizing asset performance and controlling costs.
**Key Highlights**
1. **Revenue Growth**
Revenue increased by 15% to £1,092k (H1 2024: £950k), primarily due to improved performance at Deanery Court and rental increases across the portfolio.
Deanery Court achieved an average occupancy of 86% (H1 2024: 66%), while the rest of the portfolio maintained strong occupancy (>97%).
2. **Operational Performance**
Positive operating cash flow rose to £218k (H1 2024: £32k), the strongest outcome to date, reflecting the success of the business plan over the past five years.
Net cash used in operating activities reduced by 31% to £180k (H1 2024: £261k), despite higher finance costs.
3. **Cost Management**
Inflationary pressures made cost reductions challenging, but costs were tightly controlled.
Cost-saving measures implemented during the period are expected to reduce administrative expenses and cost of sales in H2 2026.
4. **Strategic Focus**
The company remains focused on optimizing existing assets, upgrading portfolio quality, exploring development opportunities, and controlling costs.
Lease expiries and tenant churn are actively managed to maximize rental income.

Share Buyback Programme

**Summary:** Boku, Inc. (AIM: BOKU), a global network of Local Payment Methods (LPMs), announced on March 17, 2026, the launch of a share buyback programme. The companys board approved the repurchase of up to 4,000,000 common shares (appr…

**Summary**
Boku, Inc. (AIMBOKU), a global network of Local Payment Methods (LPMs), announced on March 17, 2026, the launch of a share buyback programme. The companys board approved the repurchase of up to 4,000,000 common shares (approximately 5% of its issued common stock) to be held in Treasury. This decision is driven by the belief that the current share price undervalues the company, and the buyback represents a strategic use of its growing cash reserves while supporting long-term growth plans. The programme aims to minimize future shareholder dilution by using repurchased shares for warrant obligations or staff equity remuneration.
Investec Bank plc will execute the buyback, adhering to pre-set parameters, including price limits based on market averages and independent trades. The programme will run from March 17, 2026, to September 30, 2026, or until the maximum number of shares is purchased. Due to limited trading liquidity, the buyback may represent a significant portion of daily trading volume, exempting the company from certain UK Market Abuse Regulation provisions.
Boku, founded in 2008 and headquartered in London, provides merchants with access to over 7 billion consumer payment accounts worldwide through its network of payment methods. The company serves major technology, media, and entertainment firms, offering services like Direct Carrier Billing, Digital Wallets, and cross-border funds settlement.

**Summary**
The Pebble Group PLC, a leading provider of digital commerce and related services to the global promotional products industry, announced the launch of a share buyback programme on March 17, 2026. The programme, authorized by the Board, aims to repurchase up to £5.0 million worth of ordinary shares or a maximum of 16,112,332 shares, whichever limit is reached first. This initiative reflects the Boards confidence in the companys future value and its commitment to enhancing shareholder returns while maintaining focus on strategic investments.
The buyback will be executed by Panmure Liberum Limited, acting as a "riskless" principal, with purchases made on the London Stock Exchange within pre-set parameters. The maximum price per share will not exceed 105% of the average middle market quotation over the preceding five business days, with a minimum price of £0.01. Purchased shares will be cancelled.
The programme may account for a significant portion of daily trading volume due to limited liquidity in the shares, potentially exceeding 25% of average daily traded volume. It will terminate upon reaching the maximum amount, the conclusion of the 2026 AGM (if authority is not renewed), or by December 31, 2026, whichever occurs first. All purchases will be announced by 7:30 am (UK time) on the following business day. The company confirmed it has no inside information at the time of the announcement.

**Summary**
Trustpilot Group plc announced a new share buyback programme valued at up to £22.5 million (approximately US$30 million), scheduled to commence immediately after the completion of its 2025 buyback programme. The initiative aligns with the company’s commitment to maintaining an efficient balance sheet and returning excess capital to shareholders. Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch (trading as Deutsche Numis), will manage the purchases on a non-discretionary basis, adhering to pre-set parameters and regulatory requirements. The shares will be purchased on the London Stock Exchange and other trading venues, with the sole purpose of reducing Trustpilot’s share capital through cancellation of the repurchased shares. The programme will operate within the authority granted by shareholders at the 2025 Annual General Meeting and, if approved, the 2026 Annual General Meeting, and will comply with EU and UK financial regulations. The buyback is expected to terminate by 31 December 2026 or upon reaching the maximum purchase limits. Trustpilot will disclose any share repurchases within seven trading days of occurrence.

**Summary**
Impax Environmental Markets PLC (IEM) has published an Exit Tender Offer Circular, offering eligible shareholders the option to sell up to 100% of their ordinary shares at a tender price based on the final asset value. This decision follows the failure of the Continuation Tender Offer, which was launched in January 2026, due to Saba – the largest shareholder with 22.1% holding – not tendering its shares. The Board, after extensive engagement with shareholders, concluded that the Exit Tender Offer is the best solution to protect non-Saba shareholders from potential control by Saba, which does not align with IEMs environmental objectives.
**Key Points**
1. **Exit Tender Offer** Shareholders can sell their shares for cash, with the tender price based on the final asset value of the tender pool.
2. **Reason for Offer** Sabas refusal to tender shares in the Continuation Tender Offer led to its cancellation, prompting the Board to propose the Exit Tender Offer.
3. **Shareholder Approval** The offer requires approval from over 50% of voting shareholders at the General Meeting on April 16, 2026.
4. **Director Support** All directors intend to vote in favor of the offer and tender their shares, emphasizing their belief in its fairness.
5. **Timeline** The offer opens on March 17, 2026, with a closing date of April 17, 2026. Payments are expected by the end of May 2026.
6. **Risks** Shareholders remaining post-offer may face a Saba-controlled company, with potential changes to strategy and objectives.
7. **Regulatory Notes** The offer is not available in certain jurisdictions (e.g., Canada, Japan, South Africa) and has specific conditions for U.S. and New Zealand shareholders.
**Conclusion**
The Exit Tender Offer aims to provide shareholders with an exit option at close to net asset value, addressing concerns over Sabas influence. Shareholders are urged to review the Circular and participate in the General Meeting to vote on the proposal. The outcome will significantly impact IEMs future structure and shareholder base.

**Summary**
CRISM Therapeutics Corporation announced on March 17, 2026, that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) to irinotecan for the treatment of malignant glioma, including all high-grade (Grade III and IV) gliomas. This designation is a significant regulatory and commercial milestone, providing incentives such as seven years of U.S. market exclusivity, tax credits for clinical trials, and exemption from FDA application fees. The ODD complements CRISM’s previously granted Innovation Passport for its ChemoSeed™ platform by the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) under the Innovative Licensing and Access Pathway (ILAP). These designations strengthen the development and commercial potential of the irinotecan-ChemoSeed program, positioning it for streamlined global regulatory development, including potential participation in international collaborative review programs like Project Orbis. CRISM’s Chief Scientific Officer, Professor Chris McConville, highlighted the strategic importance of these achievements in advancing the company’s oncology assets to address unmet medical needs. The company remains focused on its registration-grade Phase 2 clinical trial of Irinotecan ChemoSeed for surgically resectable glioblastoma.

**Summary**
Primary Health Properties PLC (PHP) announced its preliminary results for the year ended December 31, 2025, highlighting a transformative year marked by the successful combination with Assura plc, creating a £6 billion healthcare REIT focused on critical social infrastructure assets across the UK and Ireland. The merger received overwhelming shareholder support and is expected to deliver financial and strategic benefits, including £9 million in annualized synergies. PHP achieved over 80% of these synergies ahead of schedule and received offers for a new strategic joint venture on its private hospital portfolio. The company also agreed to inject a £103 million portfolio into an existing joint venture to reduce leverage.
Financial highlights include a 49% increase in net rental income to £230 million, a 41% rise in adjusted earnings to £131 million, and a 3% dividend increase to 7.1 pence per share. The property portfolio valuation grew by 115% to £6.0 billion, with a net initial yield of 5.4%. PHP maintained its 30-year track record of dividend growth, with a 3% increase in the dividend per share.
The company’s strategic focus includes reducing leverage, integrating Assura, and leveraging the NHSs 10-year Health Plan, which emphasizes modern primary care facilities. PHP is well-positioned to support this transition, given its long-standing NHS partnerships. The rental growth outlook remains positive, with a 3.2% increase in 2025 and a 3.4% annualized growth rate in early 2026.
PHP’s balance sheet remains robust, with significant liquidity headroom and a clear plan to reduce its loan-to-value ratio to the targeted 40-50% range. The company is committed to its progressive dividend policy, fully covered by adjusted earnings, and aims to maintain its position as a leading investor in healthcare infrastructure.

**Summary of Close Brothers Group PLC Half-Year Report for Six Months to 31 January 2026**
**Overview**
Close Brothers Group PLC, a UK specialist banking group, reported its half-year results for the six months ending 31 January 2026. The group demonstrated resilience despite challenging market conditions, focusing on cost discipline, credit performance, and strategic repositioning. Key highlights include a marginal reduction in the loan book, continued growth in core businesses, and a strong CET1 capital ratio of 14.3%. The group is well-positioned for future growth, with accelerated cost savings plans and a focus on simplification, optimization, and growth.
**Financial Performance**
**Adjusted Operating Profit**£65.2 million (H1 2025: £80.5 million), reflecting a 19% decrease due to reduced income, partly offset by lower impairment losses.
**Operating Loss Before Tax**£65.5 million (H1 2025: £102.2 million), primarily due to a £135.0 million provision for motor finance commissions.
**Net Interest Margin (NIM)**7.1% (H1 2025: 7.3%), expected to be slightly <mark style="background-color:yellow">below</mark> 7% for the full year.
**Bad Debt Ratio**0.8% (H1 2025: 1.0%), expected to remain below the long-term average of 1.2%.
**Loan Book**Reduced by 2% to £9.2 billion (31 July 2025: £9.5 billion), with underlying decrease of 1% excluding planned exits and run-offs.
**Strategic Initiatives**
**Simplification**Largely complete, with the sale of Close Brothers Asset Management, Winterflood, and Brewery Rentals, and the exit from Vehicle Hire.
**Optimization**Accelerated cost savings plans, targeting £25 million in 2026 and £60 million by 2027, positioning the group for double-digit returns by 2028.
**Growth**Focused on core markets with strong and sustainable opportunities, targeting 5-10% annual growth through the cycle.
**Capital and Funding**
**CET1 Capital Ratio**Increased to 14.3% (31 July 2025: 13.8%), reflecting disposals and lower RWAs, partly offset by motor finance provisions.
**Total Funding**Decreased by 8% to £11.7 billion, covering 124% of the loan book, with a prudent maturity profile.
**Divisions Performance**
**Commercial**Adjusted operating profit decreased to £40.7 million (H1 2025: £50.0 million) due to lower utilization in Invoice Finance and the wind-down of Novitas.
**Retail**Adjusted operating profit increased to £17.5 million (H1 2025: £16.8 million), driven by a Motor Finance impairment release and improved credit performance in Premium Finance.
**Property**Adjusted operating profit declined to £29.8 million (H1 2025: £42.1 million) due to softer demand and increased impairment charges.
**Outlook**
**Cost Savings**Accelerated targets, with £25 million in 2026 and £60 million by 2027.
**NIM**Expected to be slightly below 7% in 2026.
**Bad Debt Ratio**Expected to remain below 1.2% in 2026.

**Summary**
Intercede Group PLC, a leading cybersecurity software company specializing in digital identities, released its year-end trading update for the financial year ending 31 March 2026 (FY26). The company expects continued growth in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) driven by increased support, maintenance revenues, and adoption of subscription-based licensing. However, full-year revenue is anticipated to be 8-9% below market expectations due to procurement delays, particularly in the United States, and customer purchasing deferrals caused by geopolitical uncertainties, including the Middle East conflict. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be 15-18% below expectations due to reduced revenues and ongoing strategic investments.
Despite these challenges, Intercede emphasizes that delayed opportunities are not lost, with active customer engagements and improved order intake momentum in H2 FY26. The company maintains a strong cash position, a debt-free balance sheet, and reaffirms its FY27 revenue target of £21 million, reflecting confidence in the timing of delayed opportunities converting into orders as conditions stabilize. The strategic shift to a subscription-based model is accelerating, enhancing revenue quality and predictability. CEO Klaas van der Leest highlighted the robustness of the pipeline, the transition to recurring revenue, and the company’s strong financial position, positioning Intercede for long-term growth and shareholder value. A more detailed trading update is scheduled for 9 April 2026.

KCR Residential Reit PLC

**Summary of KCR Residential REIT PLC Interim Results for H1 2026**
**Overview**
KCR Residential REIT PLC, a UK-based residential REIT, reported unaudited consolidated results for the six months ending 31 December 2025.

**Key Highlights**
1. **Revenue Growth**
Revenue increased by 15% to £1,092k (H1 2024: £950k), primarily due to improved performance at Deanery Court and rental increases across the portfolio.

**Challenges and Outlook**
Higher finance costs and inflationary pressures continue to challenge the company’s cash neutrality goal.

Share Buyback Programme

Boku Inc

**Summary**
Boku, Inc. (AIMBOKU), a global network of Local Payment Methods (LPMs), announced on March 17, 2026, the launch of a share buyback programme. The companys board approved the repurchase of up to 4,000,000 common shares (approximately 5% of its issued common stock) to be held in Treasury. This decision is driven by the belief that the current share price undervalues the company, and the buyback represents a strategic use of its growing cash reserves while supporting long-term growth plans. The programme aims to minimize future shareholder dilution by using repurchased shares for warrant obligations or staff equity remuneration.
Investec Bank plc will execute the buyback, adhering to pre-set parameters, including price limits based on market averages and independent trades. The programme will run from March 17, 2026, to September 30, 2026, or until the maximum number of shares is purchased. Due to limited trading liquidity, the buyback may represent a significant portion of daily trading volume, exempting the company from certain UK Market Abuse Regulation provisions.
Boku, founded in 2008 and headquartered in London, provides merchants with access to over 7 billion consumer payment accounts worldwide through its network of payment methods. The company serves major technology, media, and entertainment firms, offering services like Direct Carrier Billing, Digital Wallets, and cross-border funds settlement.

Launch of Share Buyback Programme

The Pebble Group PLC

**Summary**
The Pebble Group PLC, a leading provider of digital commerce and related services to the global promotional products industry, announced the launch of a share buyback programme on March 17, 2026. The programme, authorized by the Board, aims to repurchase up to £5.0 million worth of ordinary shares or a maximum of 16,112,332 shares, whichever limit is reached first. This initiative reflects the Boards confidence in the companys future value and its commitment to enhancing shareholder returns while maintaining focus on strategic investments.
The buyback will be executed by Panmure Liberum Limited, acting as a "riskless" principal, with purchases made on the London Stock Exchange within pre-set parameters. The maximum price per share will not exceed 105% of the average middle market quotation over the preceding five business days, with a minimum price of £0.01. Purchased shares will be cancelled.
The programme may account for a significant portion of daily trading volume due to limited liquidity in the shares, potentially exceeding 25% of average daily traded volume. It will terminate upon reaching the maximum amount, the conclusion of the 2026 AGM (if authority is not renewed), or by December 31, 2026, whichever occurs first. All purchases will be announced by 7:30 am (UK time) on the following business day. The company confirmed it has no inside information at the time of the announcement.

Publication of Exit Tender Offer Circular

Impax Environmental Markets PLC

**Summary**
Impax Environmental Markets PLC (IEM) has published an Exit Tender Offer Circular, offering eligible shareholders the option to sell up to 100% of their ordinary shares at a tender price based on the final asset value. This decision follows the failure of the Continuation Tender Offer, which was launched in January 2026, due to Saba – the largest shareholder with 22.1% holding – not tendering its shares. The Board, after extensive engagement with shareholders, concluded that the Exit Tender Offer is the best solution to protect non-Saba shareholders from potential control by Saba, which does not align with IEMs environmental objectives.
**Key Points**
1. **Exit Tender Offer** Shareholders can sell their shares for cash, with the tender price based on the final asset value of the tender pool.
2. **Reason for Offer** Sabas refusal to tender shares in the Continuation Tender Offer led to its cancellation, prompting the Board to propose the Exit Tender Offer.
3. **Shareholder Approval** The offer requires approval from over 50% of voting shareholders at the General Meeting on April 16, 2026.
4. **Director Support** All directors intend to vote in favor of the offer and tender their shares, emphasizing their belief in its fairness.
5. **Timeline** The offer opens on March 17, 2026, with a closing date of April 17, 2026. Payments are expected by the end of May 2026.
6. **Risks** Shareholders remaining post-offer may face a Saba-controlled company, with potential changes to strategy and objectives.
7. **Regulatory Notes** The offer is not available in certain jurisdictions (e.g., Canada, Japan, South Africa) and has specific conditions for U.S. and New Zealand shareholders.
**Conclusion**
The Exit Tender Offer aims to provide shareholders with an exit option at close to net asset value, addressing concerns over Sabas influence. Shareholders are urged to review the Circular and participate in the General Meeting to vote on the proposal. The outcome will significantly impact IEMs future structure and shareholder base.

Primary Health Properties PLC (PHP) announced its preliminary results for the year ended December 31, 2025, highlighting a transformative year marked by the successful combination with Assura plc, creating a £6 billion healthcare REIT focused on critical social infrastructure assets across the UK and Ireland. The merger received overwhelming shareholder support and is expected to deliver financial and strategic benefits, including £9 million in annualized synergies. PHP achieved over 80% of these synergies ahead of schedule and received offers for a new strategic joint venture on its private hospital portfolio. The company also agreed to inject a £103 million portfolio into an existing joint venture to reduce leverage.
Financial highlights include a 49% increase in net rental income to £230 million, a 41% rise in adjusted earnings to £131 million, and a 3% dividend increase to 7.1 pence per share. The property portfolio valuation grew by 115% to £6.0 billion, with a net initial yield of 5.4%. PHP maintained its 30-year track record of dividend growth, with a 3% increase in the dividend per share.
The company’s strategic focus includes reducing leverage, integrating Assura, and leveraging the NHSs 10-year Health Plan, which emphasizes modern primary care facilities. PHP is well-positioned to support this transition, given its long-standing NHS partnerships. The rental growth outlook remains positive, with a 3.2% increase in 2025 and a 3.4% annualized growth rate in early 2026.
PHP’s balance sheet remains robust, with significant liquidity headroom and a clear plan to reduce its loan-to-value ratio to the targeted 40-50% range. The company is committed to its progressive dividend policy, fully covered by adjusted earnings, and aims to maintain its position as a leading investor in healthcare infrastructure.

Year End Trading Update

Intercede Group

**Summary**
Intercede Group PLC, a leading cybersecurity software company specializing in digital identities, released its year-end trading update for the financial year ending 31 March 2026 (FY26). The company expects continued growth in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) driven by increased support, maintenance revenues, and adoption of subscription-based licensing. However, full-year revenue is anticipated to be 8-9% below market expectations due to procurement delays, particularly in the United States, and customer purchasing deferrals caused by geopolitical uncertainties, including the Middle East conflict. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be 15-18% below expectations due to reduced revenues and ongoing strategic investments.
Despite these challenges, Intercede emphasizes that delayed opportunities are not lost, with active customer engagements and improved order intake momentum in H2 FY26. The company maintains a strong cash position, a debt-free balance sheet, and reaffirms its FY27 revenue target of £21 million, reflecting confidence in the timing of delayed opportunities converting into orders as conditions stabilize. The strategic shift to a subscription-based model is accelerating, enhancing revenue quality and predictability. CEO Klaas van der Leest highlighted the robustness of the pipeline, the transition to recurring revenue, and the company’s strong financial position, positioning Intercede for long-term growth and shareholder value. A more detailed trading update is scheduled for 9 April 2026.
