Imperial Brands PLC snapped up 160,607 shares on March 4 as part of its ongoing £1.45 billion buyback that kicked off in October. The shares, purchased through Morgan Stanley and set for cancellation, will bring the total number of ordinary shares outstanding down to 787,577,474 once settled, not counting any held in treasury.

Imperial Brands started the new week with shares nudging up slightly, following two late-week announcements that brought funding and capital returns back into focus.

Imperial Brands PLC shares slipped 0.3% to 3,011 pence at Friday’s close, even as the tobacco group kept buying back stock under its ongoing programme.
