Aviva to commence £600 million share buy-back Share buybacks? we shall see if they make any difference now,here`s hoping,............ Aviva to commence £600 million share buy-back Aviva plc ("Aviva"
announces that it will commence a share buy-back of its ordinary shares for up to a maximum aggregate consideration of £600 million. As outlined in its recent 2017 results, Aviva has significant excess capital and has committed to deploy £2 billion of this in 2018. The deployment includes £900 million of debt reduction, £500 million for bolt-on acquisitions (c£100 million already committed to the acquisition of Friends First in Ireland) and a £600 million ordinary share buy-back. The dividend yield on Aviva shares currently stands at 5.2%*, and with the dividend expected to grow further, the Board believes a buy-back is a compelling use of Aviva's excess capital. Aviva has entered into an agreement with Citigroup Global Markets Ltd ('Citigroup') to conduct the share buy-back programme on its behalf and to make trading decisions under the programme independently of Aviva. The programme will commence on 1 May 2018 and will end no later than 31 December 2018. Shares acquired by Citigroup under the agreement will be immediately sold on to Aviva and, to the extent permitted by law, such ordinary shares purchased will be cancelled. Aviva has received regulatory approval for the buy-back from the PRA. Mark Wilson, Group Chief Executive Officer of Aviva plc, said: "Aviva has significant surplus cash and capital and we are deploying £2 billion productively in 2018. The £600 million buy-back, together with our plan to repay £900 million of expensive debt maturing this year and invest in bolt-on acquisitions, will grow Aviva's earnings, strengthen cashflow and improve debt ratios."

Re: AV to compensate pref share vendors Does any one have any clarity as to whether this applies to AV preferences only or covers General Accident also - further is it restricted to AV ordinary share holds or is it covering, in my case a holder of GACA pref shares onlyFL

x-div recovery Good to see old AV. clawing back to where it was when it went x-div last Thursday.I noticed it has good support to date around £4.87ish ,however we appear to have gone and are going nowhere for the past 4 years.I reckon a special div with the interims in August could be the catalyst to break the £5.50 resistance level.....ruling out any major crash or correction......

Re: WhenÂ’s record date To be fair, to those asking these basic questions, the increasingly p@thetic iii website omits info such as this for no other reason than inc0mpetence or laziness which amounts to the same thing. I am getting sooo sick of iii. If anyone discovers a site that works correctly, AND offers a bb - do let us all know!
