ROCKWOOL A/S Initiates Share Buy-Back Programme
In an exciting step for its shareholders, ROCKWOOL A/S has launched a share buy-back programme, demonstrating its commitment to enhancing shareholder value. This initiative, effective from early February 2025, outlines a plan to buy back shares with a budget of up to 150 million euros over a year.
Understanding the Buy-Back Mechanism
The share buy-back process is regulated by significant EU guidelines designed to ensure transparency and fair practices. Specifically, the programme complies with the EU Commission Regulation No 596/2014 and Delegated Regulation No 2016/1052, which together form the framework of the "Safe Harbour" regulation. This provides a safety net for companies undertaking such transactions, safeguarding investors' interests.
Period of the Buy-Back Programme
This programme commenced on 7 February 2025 and is set to continue until 5 February 2026. During this period, the company will strategically repurchase its shares, demonstrating confidence in its financial health and future growth prospects.
Recent Transactions Overview
Between the 5th and 11th of March 2025, a series of transactions were executed under this programme. Collectively, these transactions showcase a proactive effort from ROCKWOOL to manage its share capital effectively. Here's a snapshot of these activities:
- As of 5 March 2025, ROCKWOOL had accumulated 32,800 B shares at a total value of 90,949,022 DKK.

Future Implications for Shareholders
The ongoing buy-back programme is an indication of ROCKWOOL's robust operational performance and strategic vision. By investing in its own shares, the company is signaling its intrinsic value and potential for growth. This approach can often lead to an increase in share price as the supply of available shares decreases, benefiting existing shareholders.
