In particular, on Friday, 4th September 2020, the London listed broker repurchased 33,750 of its own ordinary shares of ILS 0.01 each through Credit Suisse Securities (Europe) Limited.
According to a regulatory document filed through the London Stock Exchange (LSE) today, the volume weighted average price paid per share by the broker was around £14.79. Therefore, Plus500 spent approximately £499,182,75 on its latest batch of shares.
Whilst the overall average price paid by Plus500 was £14.79, the lowest price paid per share by the Israel based broker was £14.45 and the highest price paid per share across the 33,750 shares was £15.04.
“The Company will hold the repurchased shares in treasury. Following the purchase of these shares, the remaining number of ordinary shares in issue will be 105,579,143 (excluding treasury shares), and the company will hold 9,309,234 ordinary shares in treasury,” the company said in its regulatory filing today.
