Molten Ventures PLC: Strategic Share Repurchase and Executive Transactions

In a decisive move to bolster shareholder value, Molten Ventures PLC, a prominent venture capital firm specializing in high-growth technology investments, has continued its share repurchase program. The company, listed on the London Stock Exchange, announced on August 28, 2025, that it acquired an additional 50,000 ordinary shares at a volume-weighted average price of 356.1755p. This transaction, executed by Goodbody Stockbrokers UC on behalf of Molten Ventures, is part of a broader strategy initiated on August 4, 2025, aimed at optimizing the company’s capital structure.

Following this latest purchase, Molten Ventures’ issued share capital stands at 189,046,450 ordinary shares, with 9,909,551 shares held in treasury. The total number of voting rights in the company is now 179,136,899.

The share repurchase program comes at a time when Molten Ventures’ stock has experienced significant volatility.

Despite a high price-to-earnings ratio of 691.472, the repurchase initiative signals confidence in the company’s long-term prospects and commitment to enhancing shareholder returns.

In parallel, Molten Ventures disclosed a notable transaction involving Stuart Chapman, the Executive Director. On August 20, 2025, Chapman exercised 112,931 options under the 2021 Deferred Bonus Plan and Long-Term Incentive Plan, with an exercise price of £0.01 per share.
