Paris, July 11, 2023 7:30 am

Eurobio Scientific (FR0013240934, ALERS, PEA-PME eligible), a leading French group in in vitro specialty medical diagnostics and life sciences, today announced that it has cancelled 400,000 of its own shares, representing 3.53% of the share capital, pursuant to the authorisation granted by the 10th resolution of the Annual General Meeting held on June 13, 2023. Due to the financial market processing times, this cancellation will take effect on July 12, 2023.

The share capital now amounts to €3,501,814.72, divided into 10,943,171 shares. Following this cancellation, Eurobio Scientific still directly holds 709,443 of its own shares (6.48% of the share capital following the capital reduction), in addition to the shares held under the liquidity contract (23,922 shares as of June 30, 2023).

The 400,000 shares cancelled were allocated to cover free share plans for Group employees and were reallocated for cancellation.

The remaining treasury shares may be used in line with the Group’s stated objectives for the use of treasury shares :

  • covering free share plans for Group employees,
  • share transfer in connection with company acquisitions, and
  • share cancellation.

While maintaining the possibility of implementing the first two objectives, this treasury share cancellation enables the company to continue its share buyback program.

All cancelled shares had been bought back under Eurobio Scientific's share buyback programs in accordance with the authorisations granted by the General Meetings held on June 27, 2019, in its 12th resolution, and June 23, 2020, in its 6th resolution.
