Shell plc announced that on 14 May 2026 it bought shares for cancellation as part of the share‑buy‑back programme it launched on 7 May 2026. The purchases were executed by Goldman Sachs International on several UK trading venues.
At the London Stock Exchange the company bought 864,663 shares, with a highest price of £31.56, a lowest price of £31.31 and a volume‑weighted average price of £31.44. On the same day it purchased 300,000 shares on the LSE at an average price of £31.55, and 132,633 shares on Chi‑X at an average price of £31.54.

All transactions were carried out under the UK and EU Market Abuse Regulations governing share‑repurchase programmes, which run from 7 May to 24 July 2026.
The buy‑back is intended to return capital to shareholders and is overseen by Goldman Sachs International, which makes independent trading decisions within pre‑set parameters set by Shell.
