UPDATE 1-LSEG to buy back $624 mln of shares from Refinitiv-linked investors
London Stock Exchange Group said on Wednesday it has agreed to purchase shares worth 500 million pounds ($624 million) from a consortium of investors that sold data and analytics firm Refinitiv to the bourse operator. The purchase is in line with LSEG's plans to buy back shares as it completes the integration of Refinitiv, which it bought in 2021 from investors including Blackstone, Thomson Reuters , Canada's CPPIB and Singapore's GIC. LSEG said on Wednesday it bought the shares off the market for about 87.7 pounds per share, and that the deal completes buybacks worth 1 billion pounds it had indicated it would execute during the year.
