Guidance

This guidance note sets out the clearance procedure and reporting requirements associated with the capital treatment of a share buyback. See the Purchase of own shares ― overview guidance note for an overview of this area and the Capital treatment for purchase of own shares guidance note for details of the conditions for ‘capital treatment’ for a relevant shareholder on the purchase of own shares by a company.
