Significant events
- “In February 2026, the Company reduced its share capital to £200,000,000, consisting of 200,000,000 issued ordinary fully paid-up shares of £1 each, by cancelling and extinguishing 684,661,773 of the originally issued ordinary shares of £1 each in the Company. The amount by which the share capital was reduced was credited to profit and loss account in equity.”
- “Subsequently, the immediate parent of the Company, Weston Investment Company Limited, sold its shareholding in the Company to a fellow Group subsidiary, British American Tobacco Exports Limited, effective April 2026.”
- “In June 2026, the Company made an equity contribution of £85,000,000 (equivalent of HUF 34.4bn) into its subsidiary BAT Pécsi Dohánygyár Korlátolt Felelosségu Társaság.”
- “The Company and BAT Hrvatska d.o.o u likvidaciji ("BAT Hrvatska") were named as defendants in a claim by a Mr Perica before the commercial court of Zagreb, Croatia, received by the Company on 22 August 2017. Mr Perica seeks damages of HRK 408,401,866.15 (approximately £48 million) relating to a BAT Standard Distribution Agreement dating from 2005. The Directors do not consider it appropriate to make any provision in respect of the pending litigation of the Company because the likelihood of any resulting material loss is considered probable.”
