Author: Addison Perry Updated: 06-30-2025 02:45 AM

Columbus A/S Launches New Share Buyback Initiative

The Board of Directors at Columbus A/S has made a significant decision to initiate a share buyback program totaling up to DKK 16 million. This strategic move comes with authority granted during the company's Annual General Meeting, allowing the buyback of up to 10% of its share capital until 29 October 2026.

Objectives of the Share Buyback Program

The primary aim of the share buyback program is to lower the overall share capital of Columbus A/S while also maintaining a framework to manage obligations arising from share-based incentive schemes. At the upcoming Annual General Meeting planned for April 2026, the Board aims to propose the cancellation of any acquired shares under this initiative, unless required to meet incentive obligations.

Timeline and Execution Details

The share buyback program is set to commence on 30 June 2025 and will continue until 11 March 2026, both dates inclusive. Throughout this timeframe, Columbus A/S can purchase shares worth up to DKK 16 million, in compliance with the ‘Safe Harbour’ Regulation as outlined in articles from the European Parliament and Commission Delegated Regulation.

Terms of the Share Buyback

To ensure a seamless execution, Columbus A/S has appointed Nordea Danmark, a subsidiary of Nordea Bank Abp from Finland, as the lead manager. This appointment allows for independent buyback actions without interference from Columbus A/S.
The program allows for the acquisition of a maximum of 1.6 million shares, representing approximately 1.24% of Columbus A/S's current share capital.
In accordance with market standards, shares will not be bought at prices more than 10% above the last quoted market price at the time of acquisition.
The purchase price for shares must not exceed either the price of the last independent trade or the highest independent bid available.
In terms of daily trading limits, the maximum number of shares that can be bought on any single day will not exceed 25% of the average daily trading volume of Columbus A/S's shares over the preceding 20 trading days.

Transparency and Regular Updates

Throughout the duration of the share buyback program, Columbus A/S will publish a weekly company announcement containing details of the transactions executed under this program, ensuring transparency with shareholders.
