Re the intraday price, now I come to think of it, of course you are right , although I'd expect they would hope to achieve the volume weighted price for the day and as this was 377.8 they weren't really far away.
I suppose it's also not unreasonable to surmise that their buy sufficiently distorted the equilibrium to ensure that they would inevitably buy on a high day. I still can't help thinking though that they haven't generally been too careful in ensuring they pay a reasonable price.
On the other point though about their total buying, if it has been covered then I must have missed it.
The point as I see it though is that the Interims RNS unequivocally states that they will spend the whole £6.3m - wheras their breifing to analysts suggests they may not. I would have thought they would be bound by the RNS statement to spend the whole lot - but if anyone thinks the contrary I'd be interested to understand why.
Either way it seems clear to me that they willfully issued factually incorect information to either their shareholders or the analysts.
