Program Details and Regulations
The share buy-back program is executed under the guidelines set forth by European regulations designed to combat market abuse. Specifically, it complies with Regulation (EU) No 596/2014, which governs such activities within the EU market. The objective of the program is to undertake share repurchases within a specified time frame while ensuring transparency and adherence to regulations.

The overall value earmarked for these buy-backs is capped at DKK 300 million, a significant allocation intended to support the company’s investments and market positioning.
Accrued Transactions
As part of this ongoing program, a series of transactions have been conducted, which have contributed to a continuing increase in the number of shares repurchased by Royal Unibrew. This accumulation of shares not only optimizes capital allocation but also enhances the ownership percentage held by the company itself.
