Virgin Wines has convened two general meetings for 10 December 2025 in which shareholders are to vote on continuing a share buyback programme. Management seeks approval to repurchase up to 7.15% of the issued share capital (about 4 million ordinary shares) and an exemption from Rule 9 to avoid a mandatory cash offer. The company reports cash resources of £10.3m, a debt-free balance sheet and says buybacks will be used to satisfy long-term incentive options and return excess cash; the independent directors recommend approval. Members of the Concert Party holding 23,151,914 shares are excluded from the vote. » Altro su de.investing.com
