Karnov launches SEK 750m share buyback to streamline capital structure

An announcement from Karnov Group AB ( (SE:KAR) ) is now available.

Karnov Group AB’s board has approved two share repurchase programmes for its series A ordinary shares, authorising buybacks of up to SEK 750 million in total as part of a broader effort to optimise its capital structure and enhance shareholder value. The programmes, running until the 2027 annual general meeting, cap the company’s total holding of its own shares at 10% of outstanding stock and will be executed on regulated markets under Nasdaq Stockholm’s rulebook.

One programme will be conducted directly by Karnov on Nasdaq Stockholm within prescribed price limits, while the second will be managed by an independent investment firm or credit institution under the EU’s Market Abuse and Safe Harbour regulations, with all purchases settled in cash. Karnov, which currently holds about 2.2 million of its own shares out of nearly 100 million issued, will report completed buybacks in line with regulatory disclosure rules, signaling a continued commitment to capital return and balance sheet discipline for investors.
