Announcement according to article 119 section 9 BörseG
Vienna (pta015/03.10.2022/10:05) - On the basis of the existing authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting, the Management Board of PORR AG ("PORR" or the "Company") has today passed a resolution to carry out a share buyback programme for the purpose of acquiring shares for no specific use (zweckfreier Erwerb) in accordance with section 65 para 1 (8) of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz, "AktG") and, in the course of this, to buy back own shares up to a maximum of 785,565 shares or up to 2% of the share capital of the Company at a price between EUR 1.00 and a maximum of 10% above the average, unweighted stock exchange closing price of the ten trading days preceding the buyback. Including the own shares already held (216.495 shares), this is up to around 2,6 % of the current share capital. The maximum capital requirement for this purpose is EUR 10 million.
The buyback shall take place exclusively on the Vienna Stock Exchange as well as via multilateral trading systems and shall be used for any purpose permitted under section 65 para 1 (8) AktG – also for the purpose of fulfilling possible future employee participation programmes (Mitarbeiterbeteiligungsprogramme) of PORR.
The basis for this resolution on a buyback programme is the authorization resolution of the 142nd Annual General Meeting of 17 June 2022 to acquire own shares pursuant to section 65 para 1 (4) and (8) as well as para 1a and para 1b AktG both on and off the stock exchange in an amount of up to 10% of the share capital, also excluding the shareholders' proportionate right to sell (quotenmäßiges Andienungsrecht).
A credit institution was mandated to execute the share buyback. The credit institution has to take its decision on the timing of the buyback of Company shares independently of and not influenced by PORR AG and comply with the conditions for trading (Handelsbedingungen) set out in Article 3 of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 of 8 March 2016.
