EUR141 million share repurchase program
The objective of the EUR141 million share repurchase program is to reduce share capital and, in addition, to provide shares for regular management and employee share programs (maximum US$25 million). The remainder of the repurchased shares will be cancelled. The share repurchase program is expected to be completed by February 26, 2026 and will be executed under the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting of the Company on April 9, 2025.
