AFYREN launches a share buyback program
Clermont-Ferrand/Lyon, January 17, 2024, at 5:45 pm CET - AFYREN, a greentech company that provides manufacturers with low-carbon, bio-based products through its unique fermentation technology based on a completely circular model, today announced that it will implement a share buyback program for a maximum amount of 300,000 euros.
The Board of Directors of AFYREN, in its meeting of December 12, 2023, decided to implement this share buyback program. In a context of low share price, this program will reduce shareholders' dilution from the allocation of shares to corporate officers and employees, with no significant cash impact.
AFYREN is launching this share buyback program in accordance with the 6 th resolution approved by the General Meeting of Shareholders of June 21, 2023 1 .
To implement this share buyback program, AFYREN has given Natixis Corporate & Investment Banking a mandate to acquire shares, on the dates it deems appropriate, for a maximum amount of 300,000 euros.
The description of the share buyback program is available on AFYREN's website, in the Documentation > Other regulated information section.
