As a result of the aforementioned market transactions, the Company repurchased in total 227,563 own shares under the Share Repurchase Program 2020 for an aggregate amount of €7.7 million. The repurchased shares under this program will be used to cover future obligations under the Company's share option plans or will be cancelled to the extent the repurchased shares would exceed such obligations. Telenet will continuously monitor both its current and future obligations under such plans in view of keeping an adequate level of treasury shares.

The Company currently holds 4,740,705 own shares (previous update: 4,622,777 own shares), representing 4.13% of the total number of outstanding shares (previous update: 4.03%).

1 As per the decision of the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of April 24, 2019, the Company is only authorized to acquire its own shares against a purchase price between 80% and 120% of the average of the closing prices on Euronext Brussels during a period of 30 calendar days prior to the acquisition. As acquisitions within these criteria were not possible on March 12, 2020 and March 13, 2020, no share repurchases occurred during these days.
