Funding Circle Holdings plc 
(the "Company") 
Completion of Share Buyback Programme 
and Commencement of Further Share Buyback Programme 
The Company announces that on 15 October 2024 it completed an initial GBP25 million share buyback programme, with the 
Company repurchasing a total of 27,308,339 ordinary shares of GBP0.001 each in its share capital (the "Ordinary Shares") 
equating to 7.56% of the Company's issued and outstanding capital. Following the cancellation of the repurchased 
Ordinary Shares, Funding Circle has 333,994,804 Ordinary Shares in issue. 
Having stated its intent on 5 September, the Company now announces the commencement of a further discretionary share 
buyback programme (the "Programme") to purchase Ordinary Shares up to a maximum consideration of GBP25 million. 
It is expected that, unless terminated earlier, the Programme will end on the date on which the total GBP purchase 
price of all Ordinary Shares purchased by the Company pursuant to the Programme is equal to, or as close as possible 
to, GBP25 million. It is intended that any purchased Ordinary Shares will be cancelled. The Company has appointed its 
broker, Investec Bank plc ("Investec"), to manage the Programme on its behalf. 
Any purchases of Ordinary Shares by the Company in relation to the Programme will be carried out on the London Stock 
Exchange in compliance with the relevant conditions for trading, restrictions regarding time and volume, disclosure and 
reporting obligations, and price conditions. The Programme will be carried out in accordance with the parameters 
prescribed by the Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014 (as it forms part of UK law pursuant to the European Union 
(Withdrawal) Act 2018) and Chapter 12 of the Financial Conduct Authority's Listing Rules using the average daily volume 
of Ordinary Shares traded in September 2024, being the month preceding the month of this announcement. The Company may 
repurchase up to 50% of this average daily volume. 
Subject to available distributable reserves, the Programme will be conducted in accordance with and under the terms of 
the general authority granted to the Board of Directors of the Company by its shareholders at its Annual General 
Meeting held on 15 May 2024 (the "2024 AGM"), which authority will expire at the end of the next Annual General Meeting 
of the Company in May 2025 (the "2025 AGM"). Pursuant to the 2024 AGM authority, the maximum number of Ordinary Shares 
that can be bought back by the Company is 54,085,678, representing 15% of Ordinary Shares in issue as at 20 March 2024. 
Following the expiry of the 2024 AGM repurchase authority, or to the extent that the Company meets the limit of that 
authority prior to the 2025 AGM, Funding Circle will seek further repurchase authority at the 2025 AGM or an earlier 
General Meeting.
