Narrative:

Gulfstream 4 was being repositioned from ZZZ to ZZZ2 when climbing through FL260; the right engine registered an exceedence. Control could not be regulated with the throttle lever so the engine was shut down. ATC was advised and return routing to ZZZ was issued. Communications with our office were established as well with discussion of when to return. It was decided that the longer runway at ZZZ would be best. Return flight was routine with a single engine landing.
