Shell and InterContinental Hotels Group execute share buybacks

Shell has acquired 1.976 million of its own shares for cancellation as part of a larger 5 billion US dollar buyback program announced in late October 2026. The purchases were conducted across six trading venues, including the London Stock Exchange, Chi-X, BATS, and various Euro-denominated markets such as Amsterdam. The program, which is scheduled to run until January 29, 2027, involves BNP Paribas managing exchange-based trades and Natixis handling over-the-counter transactions.

Separately, InterContinental Hotels Group PLC announced the purchase of 72,448 ordinary shares on November 6, 2026. The transaction was executed through Goldman Sachs International on the London Stock Exchange at an average price of approximately 177.39 US dollars per share. The company intends to cancel these purchased shares.
