Pandora's Strategic Share Buyback Program
Pandora, the renowned global jewelry brand, has embarked on an ambitious share buyback initiative, signifying its ongoing commitment to enhance shareholder value and tighten control over its capital structure. This strategic decision aligns with the company's broader goals, focusing on reducing share capital while also managing obligations associated with incentive programs for employees.

The buyback program announced by Pandora indicates plans to repurchase shares worth up to DKK 4.0 billion. Commencing on February 6, 2025, and scheduled for completion by January 30, 2026, this initiative aims at stabilizing the company's share price.
The first phase involves an allocation of DKK 1.3 billion, and reports show that the initial transactions began on February 6, 2025. To oversee this process, Pandora has entrusted Nordea with the management of the first tranche, ensuring comprehensive support and guidance.
