Introducing the Share Buyback Program
On February 5, Pandora unveiled a new share buyback initiative intended to manage its share capital effectively. This step is part of their commitment to uphold market regulations.
Objectives of the Program
The primary aim of this buyback program is twofold: to reduce the overall share capital of Pandora and fulfill obligations that arise from various company incentive schemes. This strategy enhances shareholder confidence and promotes a shared interest in the company’s growth.
Execution of the Buyback
Pandora plans to buy back shares worth up to DKK 4.0 billion, spanning from February 6, 2025, to January 30, 2026. The initial phase has an allocated budget of DKK 1.3 billion, which will begin on February 6, 2025, and is expected to conclude by June 6, 2025. Nordea has been designated as the sole lead manager for this initial tranche of purchases.
Recent Transactions Under the Buyback
As part of this program, several transactions have already taken place, thereby increasing Pandora's treasury stock. Notable transactions include:
- On March 3, 2025, 20,000 shares were acquired at an average price of DKK 1,246.11.
- On March 4, 2025, 18,000 shares were purchased at DKK 1,215.40.
- March 5, 2025 saw the acquisition of 32,000 shares at an average price of DKK 1,205.39.
- On March 6, 2025, 11,500 shares were repurchased at DKK 1,175.80.
- Finally, 750 shares were bought on March 7, 2025 at DKK 1,161.00.
As a cumulative summary, Pandora has acquired a total of 317,943 additional shares worth DKK 401,591,534 since the initiation of this buyback program. This brings their treasury stock to an impressive 3,600,293 shares, representing approximately 4.4% of the total share capital.
