Schibsted ASA (SCHA/SCHB) - Initiation of first tranche of share buyback

9.9.2024 09:02:56 CEST | Schibsted | Additional regulated information required

to be disclosed under the laws of a member state

With reference to the capital return package announced on 22 March 2024,

Schibsted ASA ("Schibsted Marketplaces" or the "Company") has on 9 September

entered into a non-discretionary agreement with BNP Paribas to carry out a share

buyback on behalf of the Company.

The share buyback programme is the first out of two tranches, covering purchases

of up to a maximum value of NOK 2 billion. The purchases will be split 50/50 in

nominal terms between A and B shares, buying up to NOK 1 billion for each of the

share classes. The buyback programme will commence on 9 September 2024 and is

planned to be finalised within 2 May 2025. Under the programme, the minimum

price that can be paid per share is NOK 50 and the maximum price is NOK 500.

However, the maximum number of shares to be repurchased under the programme is

capped at 11 million A shares and 11 million B shares. NOK 2 billion is

equivalent to approximately 3% of the issued shares in Schibsted (total issued

shares are approx. 239 million) at the current share price level.

The buyback will be carried out in accordance with the authorisation granted to

the Board of Directors by the Company's Annual General Meeting ("AGM") held on

26 April 2024. The authorisation is valid until the Company's AGM in 2025. For

further information, please see the minutes of the AGM at:

BNP Paribas will make its trading decisions independently of the Company. The

execution of any repurchases will depend on market conditions, and the Company

may resolve to terminate the buyback programme before the threshold set out

above is reached.

The purpose of the buyback is to reduce the capital of the Company. Apart from

some shares repurchased under the programme which will be used in the Company's

employee share saving plan and long-term incentive plans, the Company will seek

approval by the Company's AGM for cancellation of the remaining shares

repurchased under the programme.

The share buyback programme is carried out in accordance with the Market Abuse

Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 ("MAR") and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No

2016/1052 ("Safe Harbour Regulation").

This information is made public by Schibsted pursuant to the EU Market Abuse

Regulation and subject to the disclosure requirements pursuant to Section 5-12

of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act.

Schibsted currently owns a total of 2,423,946 A-shares and 3,026,170 B-shares.
