  • The 363,252 repurchased shares will be retired from the register, providing a minor accretive benefit to remaining shareholders.

SENS-AI conclusion

Greencoat Renewables has repurchased and will cancel 363,252 ordinary shares at a volume-weighted average price of €0.7825. This mechanical filing confirms the ongoing execution of the share buyback programme announced in March 2026, incrementally reducing the outstanding share count to 1,094,726,891. This is not a new strategic development or a shift in the company's capital allocation policy. Investor Takeaway: This is a routine capital management update with no fresh equity signal, confirming only the continued operation of the existing buyback mandate. Rating Context: This is a mechanical liquidity event with no direct equity impact.

Routine filing. No equity signal. No portfolio action required.
