Pexip Holding ASA - Initiation of Share Buyback Program
Oslo, May 31, 2021: Pexip Holding ASA ("Pexip" or the "Company") has decided to
initiate a buyback of its own shares in the market for a total amount of NOK 88
million.
Pexip has an ongoing employee stock option program through which share issues in
2021 have raised NOK 88 million to the Company. Pexip has sufficient cash
reserves, stemming from the IPO in 2020 and from operations, to fund the
communicated growth investments without the need for the excess funding coming
from employee share option exercises, and will instead use these funds to buy
back shares. Pexip will use the shares acquired in this buyback program to
fulfil its obligations in future share option exercises.
The buyback program will be conducted in accordance with the authorization
provided by the annual general meeting (AGM) to the board of directors ("The
Board") on May 20, 2021. According to the authorization the Board is authorized
to acquire shares in the Company on behalf of the Company with an aggregate
nominal value of up to NOK 155,700. The authorization is valid until the AGM in
2022, however no longer than until June 30, 2022.
The program will be initiated June 1, 2021 and end the earlier of such time as
the buyback has been completed and June 29, 2021. Under the authorization from
the AGM, the consideration per share may not be less than NOK 1 and may not
exceed NOK 200. All acquisitions under the buyback program will be executed on
Euronext Oslo Børs. Pexip has engaged Arctic Securities and Pareto Securities to
carry out the share buyback program on its behalf.
The execution of any repurchases will depend on market conditions, the buyback
program may be discontinued at any time and the Company may resolve to terminate
the buyback program before the threshold set out above is reached. Pexip holds
15,070 own shares as of the date of this announcement.
