Imperial Brands PLC has launched the first £750 million tranche of its planned £1.5 billion share buyback program, which will run until October 2027. The buyback is part of a broader commitment to ongoing share repurchases through 2030 alongside a progressive dividend policy. HSBC has been appointed to execute the first tranche, with all repurchased shares to be cancelled, reducing the company's share capital. This move reflects Imperial Brands' strategy to return surplus capital to shareholders while maintaining leverage within its target range. The company plans to seek shareholder approval for further buybacks at its 2027 annual general meeting.
