The shares shall be acquired in public trading on Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd. at the market price prevailing at the time of purchase. The share repurchase shall start on 12 February 2026 at the earliest, and end by 31 December 2026 at the latest (subject to the approval of the authorisation to acquire company’s own shares presented to the 2026 AGM planned to be held 7 May 2026).
The AGM held on 29 April 2025 authorised the Board of Directors to decide on the repurchase of a maximum of 16,000,000 of the Company’s own shares (approx. 9.8% of all shares of the Company) in one or several instalments. Own shares shall be repurchased with funds from the Company’s unrestricted shareholders’ equity.
