- 13,121 shares were bought back on Aug. 11 for cancellation at an average 1,432.960 GBp, with prices ranging from 1,426.000 to 1,434.000 GBp.
- That repurchase left Fidelity Emerging Markets with 47,971,004 shares in issue and 9,025,940 shares held in treasury.
- Total voting rights now stand at 38,945,065, the figure shareholders use to assess whether FCA disclosure thresholds have been crossed.
- Treasury shares carry no voting rights, so the buyback marginally reduces the denominator for future interest-notification calculations.
