The Board of Directors of Byggmax Group AB ("Byggmax" or the "Company") has decided to exercise the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting on May 6, 2021 and initiate repurchases of own shares. The maximum amount for which shares may be repurchased may not exceed SEK 200 million.
Byggmax currently has a strong financial position. Despite investments in organic growth, addon acquisitions and dividends to shareholders, cash flow from operations has further strengthened the company's financial position, compared to the same period last year (second quarter). The introduction of a share buy-back program aims to adapt the company's capital structure and contribute to increased shareholder value. Byggmax will also after the repurchase of own shares have a strong financial position that enables the company's growth strategy going forward.
The buy-back program is being carried out in accordance with the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 ("MAR") and the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 2016/1052 (the "Safe Harbour Regulation"). The buy-back program will be managed by an investment firm or credit institution that makes its trading decisions regarding the timing of the buy-backs of the Company's shares independently of and without influence from Byggmax.
It is the Board's intention to propose that the repurchased shares will be withdrawn through a reduction in the share capital.
Reporting will take place to Nasdaq Stockholm in accordance with current rules. The transactions will also be published on the Company's website.
The Company's current holding of own shares is 0. The total number of outstanding shares in the Company is 60,999,045.
