The latest announcement is out from Erste Group Bank ( (EBKOF) ).
Erste Group Bank AG has approved a framework programme enabling Austrian savings banks within its credit institution group to dispose of up to 10,000,000 Erste shares classified as own shares, corresponding to about 2.4% of share capital. The programme, effective from 25 May 2026 to 17 April 2031, covers ordinary voting bearer shares and allows sales both on and off the stock exchange, with price limits set between EUR 2 and no more than 50% above the 20-day volume-weighted average price.
The bank states that the disposal programme will have no impact on the listing of Erste Group Bank AG shares, and no share options are to be granted in connection with this authorisation. By formalising a long-term framework for the controlled sale or transfer of own shares held by affiliated savings banks, Erste enhances flexibility in capital management while providing transparency to investors about potential share disposals over the coming years.
The most recent analyst rating on (EBKOF) stock is a Buy with a EUR121.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Erste Group Bank stock, see the EBKOF Stock Forecast page.
