Deal significance: The buyback of shares was approved by IBC shareholders at the 2011 annual general meeting.

“The IBC Board believes the effect of the buyback will be to decrease the discount at which shares in IBC have traditionally traded to its NTA per share,” a statement from Ashurst said.

“The Board believes that the existence of the Proposal has assisted with closing the gap between IBC's NTA and share price.”

The IBC Board signalled its intention to offer IBC shareholders the option to have their shares bought back every three years.
