Today Barco announces that, based on the shareholder authorization granted by the Extraordinary General Meeting of 24 April 2014, the company will launch a first share buyback program.
The share buyback program will run for 6 months and will start on 8 may 2014. Barco has mandated an independent broker to execute the program on its behalf and to purchase own shares of Barco N.V. for a maximum amount of twelve (12) million euro.
During the course of the program, the company will inform the market about the purchased shares at regular intervals and in accordance with the applicable regulations.
The company currently owns 5.5% of its shares which it uses for stock options plans as part of its employee incentive plan.
The company wants to use repurchased shares to replenish the pool of own shares for future stock option plans, to annul shares to increase shareholder's return or to use shares to finance acquisitions. The company announced not to exceed 10% of shares held in treasury and will cancel excess shares held in treasury to safeguard this commitment.
Barco, a global technology company, designs and develops networked visualization products for a variety of selected professional markets.
