Marel: Share buyback program initiated on Euronext Amsterdam
The Board of Directors of Marel hf. has decided
to initiate a new share buyback program on Euronext Amsterdam for
up to 1,000,000 shares in the Company, or about 0.13% of the total
issued share capital in the Company, for a maximum total purchase
price of EUR 5,590,000. This is in addition to the share buyback
program initiated on Nasdaq Iceland today 1 June, for up to
4,000,000 shares. The purpose of the buyback program is to meet the
Company’s obligations under share incentive programs with
employees. Marel currently holds 14,664,411 own shares which
corresponds to 1.9% of issued share capital in the Company.
The buyback program will be managed by ABN AMRO
Bank N.V., which will make its trading decisions regarding the
purchases and the timing of the purchases independently without
influence of the Company. The execution of the share buyback
program will be according to the provisions of applicable laws,
including Icelandic Act no. 2/1995 respecting Public Limited
Companies, Regulation no. 596/2014 of the European Parliament and
of the Council on market abuse ("MAR"), and the Commission’s
delegated regulation 2016/1052, cf. also Icelandic Act no. 6/2021
concerning measures against market abuse.
The purchase price for shares shall not be
higher than the price of the last independent trade or the highest
current independent purchase bid on Euronext Amsterdam, whichever
is higher. Daily purchase will not exceed 25% of the average daily
volume of 20 trading days preceding the day of purchase on Euronext
Amsterdam. Transactions with own shares according to the buyback
program will be publicly disclosed no later than the end of the
seventh business day following the day of execution of such
transactions. The program will enter into force on 2 June and
remain in force up to and including 2 September 2022 but the
Company is entitled to discontinue the program at any time.
According to an authorization granted by the
Company’s Annual General Meeting in March 2022, the Company
may purchase own shares of up to 10% of the Company’s share
capital. Requirements pursuant to Article 55 of Act No. 2/1995
shall be taken into consideration when own shares are purchased.
The authorization is valid until 16 September 2023.
