SMCP’s Strategic Share Buyback Program
In a significant move aimed at strengthening its employee incentive strategies, SMCP's Board of Directors has taken a proactive step toward implementing a share buyback program. Authorized by the shareholders during the recent General Meeting, this initiative reflects the company's commitment to its workforce.
Details of the Share Buyback Initiative
On March 25, 2025, the Board resolved to grant an irrevocable mandate to an investment services provider. This decision authorizes the repurchase of shares starting from March 28, 2025, and continuing until June 30, 2025. The company has set a cap on the buyback, allowing for a maximum of 400,000 shares to be repurchased at a price not exceeding what was established in the earlier meeting. This structured approach ensures that the buyback aligns with both market conditions and shareholder expectations.
Purpose Behind the Buyback
The shares acquired through this program are specifically intended to support the Group's long-term incentive plan for its employees. By doing this, SMCP aims to enhance employee motivation and retention, thus fostering a culture of commitment and loyalty within the organization.
