The board of directors of Evolution AB (publ) has resolved on acquisitions of own shares
Evolution AB (publ) ("Evolution") has, based on the authorisation from the annual general meeting 2024, resolved that the company shall acquire own shares in accordance with its capital allocation framework. The purpose of the acquisition of own shares is to optimise and improve the capital structure of the company by reducing the capital, thereby creating added shareholder value.
Pursuant to Evolution's capital allocation framework, excess capital can be distributed through the repurchase of own shares. On 18 July 2024, the company announced a repurchase programme of EUR 400 million which, as announced on 23 October 2024, has been completed.
Against this background, the board of directors of Evolution has, based on the authorisation from the annual general meeting 2024, resolved that the company shall acquire its own shares on Nasdaq Stockholm or another regulated market before the annual general meeting 2025. The maximum amount for which shares may be repurchased under this repurchase programme is EUR 500 million. The board of directors also intends to seek an authorisation from the annual general meeting 2025 to resolve on repurchases of own shares and, provided that the authorisation is approved by the annual general meeting, to utilise the authorisation to carry out any repurchases that could not be completed before the annual general meeting 2025.
The repurchase programme will be implemented in accordance with the EU Market Abuse Regulation No 596/2014 ("MAR") and the Commission Delegated Regulation No 2016/1052 ("Safe Harbour Regulation"). Acquisitions of shares shall be made by an investment firm or a credit institution which shall make its trading decisions concerning the timing of the purchases of shares independently of Evolution.
According to the board of directors' resolution, any acquisition of own shares shall be made on Nasdaq Stockholm or another regulated market, in accordance with Nasdaq Stockholm's Rule Book for Issuers, or otherwise applicable rules, and the following terms and conditions:
In accordance with the authorisation from the annual general meeting 2024 the company's holding of own shares shall not at any given time exceed 10 per cent of all shares in the company. As of today, the total number of shares in the company is 211,833,204 shares. The company currently holds 5,270,961 treasury shares, which means that a maximum amount of 15,912,359 shares may be repurchased under the authorisation.
Completed acquisitions of own shares will be reported in accordance with applicable laws and regulations as well as Nasdaq Stockholm's Rule Book for Issuers.
