Share Buyback Transaction Details
November 1 - 7, 2018
November 8, 2018 – Wolters Kluwer today
reports that it has repurchased 256,339 of its own ordinary shares
in the period from November 1, 2018, up to and
including November 7, 2018, for
€12.8 million and at an average share price of €50.01.
These repurchases are part of the three-year share buyback
program (2016-2018) originally announced on February 24, 2016. This
program was subsequently expanded to include additional repurchases
intended to mitigate dilution caused by non-core divestments made
in 2017 and early 2018. The buyback program also includes
repurchases made to offset annual incentive share issuance.
The cumulative amounts repurchased under this three-year program
are now as follows:

As previously stated, we are on track and committed to complete
a total of €550 million in share buybacks in the year 2018. For the
period starting November 1, 2018, up to and including December 27,
2018, we have engaged a third party to execute €100 million of
buybacks on our behalf, within the limits of relevant laws and
regulations (in particular Regulation (EU) 596/2014) and the
company’s Articles of Association. Repurchased shares are added to
and held as treasury shares and will be used for capital reduction
purposes or to meet obligations arising from share-based incentive
plans.
