The main shareholder, the Lauritzen Foundation, which owns 42.8% of DFDS, has committed itself to participating pro rata in the share buy-back programme with a view to ensuring that the current percentage free float (when adjusted for DFDS' own shares) is not reduced.

The pro rata buy-back from the Lauritzen Foundation is planned in such a way that daily the Lauritzen Foundation will sell an amount of DFDS shares at a price calculated according to the volume-weighted average purchase price for the shares bought according to the share buy-back programme on the relevant day of trading.
