Do not add the C shares. The 20.7bn 'C Shares' are a legacy payment-in-lieu-of-dividend instrument with 0.1p nominal (~GBP 21m in total) and no voting rights except on a winding-up resolution; they are not the listed equity and adding them would inflate the share count by ~250%. No treasury shares - repurchased shares are cancelled.

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 (RYCEY), where one receipt represents 1 ordinary share; the price is put on an ordinary-share basis before it meets the share count.
