PostNL commences €250 million share buyback programme

The Hague, the Netherlands, 1 March 2022 – PostNL today commences the execution of the share buyback programme with a value of maximum €250 million announced on 25 January 2022. The execution of the first tranche of the programme, of between €160 million and €170 million, with a maximum of 51 million shares, is expected to be completed no later than October 2022. The second tranche will be executed in 2023.

The first tranche of the share buyback programme will be executed within the limitations of the existing authority granted by the Annual General Meeting on 20 April 2021, and will be carried out in compliance with the Market Abuse Regulation. PostNL intends to use any repurchased shares under the programme to cover its obligations under share-based remuneration arrangements and to deliver future dividend that may be partly paid in stock, at the choice of the shareholder. The remaining number of the bought-back shares will be cancelled.

PostNL has engaged BofA Securities Europe SA to start the execution of the share buyback programme on its behalf and to make trading decisions independently of PostNL. In accordance with regulations, PostNL will inform the market about progress made in the execution of this programme through press releases and via its website. The first progress report will be published on 8 March 2022.
