KONGSBERG AUTOMOTIVE TO INITIATE THE SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM AS ANNOUNCED AT THE CAPITAL MARKETS DAY IN DECEMBER 2021
Following the successful divestments of Interior Comfort Systems and Light Duty
Cables, and a thorough assessment of expected market conditions, the Board has
resolved to initiate the previously announced share repurchase program.
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED
STATES OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE WOULD BE
UNLAWFUL OR REQUIRE REGISTRATION OR OTHER MEASURES.
Zurich, May 12, 2022: The Board of Directors of Kongsberg Automotive ASA
("Kongsberg Automotive" or "the Company") has resolved to initiate the share
repurchase program that was announced at the capital markets day in December
2021:
· The Company will buy up to 10% of its outstanding shares in the open market,
for a maximum total consideration of up to EUR 30 million, starting on May 16th
2022
· The purpose of the program is to reduce the share capital of the Company.
· Kongsberg Automotive has put in place a non-discretionary agreement with
Danske Bank Group to carry out the purchases. Under this agreement, Danske Bank
Group will manage the program and make its own trading decisions independently
of, and uninfluenced by, the Company.
· The Company will publicly announce information about the transactions
relating to the buy-back program, in a detailed form and in an aggregated form,
no later than by the end of the seventh trading day following the date of
execution of such transactions. The aggregated form will indicate the aggregated
volume and the weighted average price per day and per trading venue. The
information will also be posted on the Company's website.
· The basis for the program is the authorization given to Kongsberg
Automotive's Board of Directors by the Company's annual general meeting on June
10th 2021. The authorization is valid until the annual general meeting ("AGM")
for 2022 on June 2nd. Should the authorization not be renewed by the AGM, the
share repurchase program will be terminated at that time.
