Infortar Announces Share Buy-Back Initiative
Aktsiaselts Infortar has decided to commence a buy-back of up to 250,000 own shares. This decision is in line with the authorization granted during a recent General Meeting of Shareholders. The initiative aims to fulfill the conditions set forth in the company's option plan, ensuring the interests of its stakeholders are well protected.
Buy-Back Program Details
The buy-back program is structured to take place over a five-year period. Infortar has established a maximum acquisition price that cannot exceed fifty percent above the average stock exchange price of its shares in the last thirty trading days prior to each buy-back transaction. This pricing strategy is designed to align with market conditions, ensuring fair value for all parties involved.
Management and Oversight
Infortar's share buy-back program will be managed by SEB Pank AS, a prominent banking institution. SEB Pank is responsible for executing the buy-back transactions on behalf of Infortar, conducting these operations independently. This means that the timing and decisions regarding the purchases will not be influenced by Infortar, allowing for a transparent and regulated buy-back process.
Disclosure and Transparency
To maintain transparency, Infortar will disclose summary data, including daily volumes and the weighted average price of shares bought back. This information will be made available within seven trading days following the completion of transactions. It will be submitted to the Estonian Financial Supervision and Resolution Authority and shared through the Nasdaq Tallinn system, ensuring that investors are kept informed.
Regulatory Framework
Aktsiaselts Infortar's share buy-back is compliant with Regulation (EU) No 596/2014, known as the Market Abuse Regulation. This regulatory framework is crucial for maintaining market integrity while enabling companies like Infortar to engage in buy-back programs. The shares will be acquired through the Nasdaq Tallinn Stock Exchange, underscoring the company's commitment to responsible corporate governance.
