Milan, May 11 2022 - Davide Campari-Milano N.V. ('Campari' or the 'Company') announces, pursuant to article 2 of the Delegated Regulation (EU) no. 1052/2016 (the 'Delegated Regulation'), the launch of a share buyback programme under article 5 of Regulation (EU) no. 596/2014 (the 'Programme').
The Programme is intended to meet the obligations arising from stock option plans and other share-based incentive plans, currently in force or to be adopted, the beneficiaries of which are (or will be) employees or members of the administrative and/or or management bodies of either the Company or other Campari Group's companies. The Programme will be implemented in accordance with the resolution adopted by the Company's General Meeting held on April 12, 2022, which authorized the Board of Directors to acquire, in one or more transactions, a maximum number of shares in the capital of the Company which, when added to the treasury shares already held by Campari, will not exceed the legal limit, for a period of 18 months from April 12, 2022, to October 12, 2023 (the 'Authorization'). The Authorization has also set out that purchases shall take place for (i) a minimum price, excluding expenses, of the nominal value of Campari's shares, and (ii) a maximum price of an amount equal to 10% above the opening price on the day of acquisition of the share concerned.
In any case, as set forth in the Delegated Regulation, the shares will not be purchased at a price higher than the higher of the price of the last independent trade and the highest current independent bid on the market on the trading venue where the purchase is carried out. The Programme will be carried out (also in relation to the volume of shares to be purchased) in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations including the Delegated Regulation, and the Regulation (EU) no. 596/2014
The main features of the Programme are as follows:
Moreover, in line with the first sustainability initiatives linked share buyback programme, successfully completed in January 2022, the newly launched programme also includes a contractually-agreed reward mechanism. An amount deriving from the outperformance1 in the purchase cost of the shares during the Programme will be allocated by Campari Group to an energy efficiency project, namely a new installation of photovoltaic panels at its production site in Jamaica. This initiative will further contribute to the decarbonization agenda already undertaken by the Group in this area. Campari Group once again confirms its strong commitment to the responsible use of resources and reduction of the environmental impact of its production activities, being Environment one of the four pillars of Campari Group's sustainability roadmap.
Any subsequent changes to the Programme will be promptly disclosed to the public by the Company in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
