Single class of no-par registered shares. Dt cancels repurchased shares, so the count steps down over time: 4,986,458,596 (through Aug 2025) -> 4,905,190,213 (Sep 2025) -> 4,849,778,057 (from 22 Apr 2026). Buybacks: 81,268,383 shares in 2024, 65,412,156 in 2025, and a 2026 programme started 5 Jan 2026 that is still running - shares bought but not yet cancelled sit in treasury, so free-circulation shares are slightly below the issued figure.
Share counts move on a filing cadence, prices move continuously — so this figure is exact only as of the two dates above, and we publish both rather than a single undated number. This company is quoted here through a depositary receipt (DTEGY), where one receipt represents 1 ordinary share; the price is put on an ordinary-share basis before it meets the share count.
