All of these can be found in the **Share Classes** tab, under **Actions**, and by clicking on **Share Reorganisations**.

The [share buyback](https://support.infodocs.co.za/en/article/share-buyback-q2fmf3/) will now be visible under **View Share Transactions** in the **Share Classes** tab, and will also appear in the [Share Register](https://support.infodocs.co.za/shareholders/how-to-access-a-company-register/) as “Purchase of own shares”.
