(Alliance News) - Pennon Group PLC said on Friday it is starting the fourth phase of its share buyback program.
The Exeter, England-based water company began a share buyback program of up to GBP400 million in July. The first three phases have deployed around GBP150 million up to January 7.
Pennon Group has now signed an agreement with US investment bank Morgan Stanley to purchase ordinary shares at a price of 61.05 pence up to a total of no more than GBP50 million.
It is expected to be completed by March 18, and is subject to "Pennon's continued review of value creating opportunities in the UK water sector" for other uses of the money, the company said.
All purchased shares will be cancelled to reduce share capital.
The water company's share price was up 1.0% to 1,077.00 pence on Friday morning in London.

The Morningstar Star Rating for Stocks is assigned based on an analyst's estimate of a stocks fair value. It is projection/opinion and not a statement of fact. Morningstar assigns star ratings based on an analyst’s estimate of a stock's fair value. Four components drive the Star Rating: (1) our assessment of the firm’s economic moat, (2) our estimate of the stock’s fair value, (3) our uncertainty around that fair value estimate and (4) the current market price. This process culminates in a single-point star rating that is updated daily. A 5-star represents a belief that the stock is a good value at its current price; a 1-star stock isn't. If our base-case assumptions are true the market price will converge on our fair value estimate over time, generally within three years. Investments in securities are subject to market and other risks. Past performance of a security may or may not be sustained in future and is no indication of future performance.
