Bekaert announces the seventh tranche of its Share Buyback
Program
Bekaert closed the sixth tranche of the buyback program on 21
July 2023. In total, between 10 May 2023 and 21 July 2023,
the company repurchased 609 016 ordinary shares for an aggregate
consideration of € 25.5 million. Under the first six
tranches of the buyback program the company repurchased
4 822 803 ordinary shares for an aggregate consideration
of € 172.8 million.
Bekaert announces today that it will start the seventh tranche
of its buyback program, for a total maximum consideration of up to
€ 30 million (the Seventh Tranche), on 28 July 2023. It is intended
that, subject to market conditions, the Seventh Tranche will be
completed prior to the release of the Q3 trading update, scheduled
for 17 November 2023.
In response to the low trading volume in the equity market as a
whole and in order to help increase the number of shares available
for repurchase, Bekaert has decided to pause the liquidity
agreement with Kepler Cheuvreux, which was due to finish on 1
September 2023.
Bekaert has appointed Kepler Cheuvreux SA as independent
intermediary to repurchase the shares on its behalf and to make
trading decisions under the Seventh Tranche independently of
Bekaert.
As announced previously, the purpose of the buyback program is
to reduce the issued share capital of the company and all shares
repurchased as part of this arrangement will be cancelled. So far,
4 600 889 treasury shares were cancelled.
During the Seventh Tranche, Bekaert will regularly publish press
releases with updates on the progress made, as required by law.
This information will also be available on the investor relations
pages of our website.
