STOREBRAND ASA - Initiation of Share Buyback Program of NOK 500 million

STOREBRAND ASA - Initiation of Share Buyback Program of NOK 500 million

As announced at the presentation of the half year results on 14 July 2022,

Storebrand ASA commences a share buyback program today, 18 July 2022, for a

maximum of NOK 500 million. The amount is equivalent to approx. 1.4% of the

share capital in Storebrand ASA, given the last closing price of NOK 75.52. The

share buyback program will end no later than 30 November 2022.

The share buyback program has been resolved by the Board of Directors of

Storebrand ASA and is in accordance with the authorisation granted to the Board

by the Annual General Meeting of Storebrand ASA on 6 April 2022, and the

approval received from the Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority on 17 June

The share buyback program will be carried out by way of repurchases in the

market. Storebrand is entering into a non-discretionary agreement with a third

party who will make its trading decisions independently of, and uninfluenced by,

Storebrand.

In accordance with the authorisation from the Annual General Meeting, the

minimum price that can be paid per share is NOK 5, and the maximum price is NOK

150. The maximum number of shares that can be purchased is 45 906 266 shares.

The shares repurchased under the buyback program will be redeemed (i.e.

cancelled), subject to the approval by Storebrand ASA's General Meeting in 2023.

The background for the buyback program is to return excess capital to

shareholders. According to Storebrand's capital management framework, the Board

intends to conduct a share buyback program when the solvency margin is

sustainably above 180% without material use of transitional capital.

Transactions will be conducted in accordance with the Market Abuse Regulation

(EU) No 596/2014 ("MAR") and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 2016/1052

("Safe Harbour Regulation") as further set out i.a. in the Norwegian Securities

Trading Act of 2007 and the Oslo Stock Exchange's Guidelines for buy-back

programs and price stabilisation dated February 2021.

Transactions will be reported on a weekly basis.
