Company announcement 1/2022
4 January 2022
With reference to company announcement no. 21/2021 dated 5 November 2021, The Board of Directors of HusCompagniet A/S ("HusCompagniet") has decided to initiate a share buyback programme of up to DKK 40 million for the purpose of returning value to the shareholders and meet obligations relating to HusCompagniets incentive programmes. The programme will run for the period 4 January 2022 – 31 March 2022, and any shares not used for incentive programmes will be proposed cancelled. No dividend is expected to be paid out on any treasury shares.
Including the share buyback programme of DKK 180 million completed in August 2021, the Board of Directors is expected to propose that about 9% of the share capital be cancelled in a share capital reduction, subject to approval at the Annual General Meeting on 8 April 2022.
The share buyback programme will be executed in accordance with EU Market Abuse Regulation, EU Regulation no. 596/2014 of 16 April 2014 and the provisions of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 of 8 March 2016 (the "Safe Harbour Regulation"). This implies, among other things, that a third-party bank will manage the share buyback independently of HusCompagniet. The share buyback will be completed under the authorisation granted for the purpose of acquiring own shares.
A company announcement of any transactions under the programme will be published every week, starting 10 January 2022, throughout the duration of the programme.
As of today, 4 January 2022, HusCompagniet holds 1,683,058 treasury shares, corresponding to 8.4% of HusCompagniets share capital. The treasury shares are held for the purpose of cancellation and HusCompagniets commitments under RSU incentive programmes.
