Sampo Plc ( (GB:0HAG) ) has provided an update.

Sampo’s Board and Audit Committee have submitted proposals to the 22 April 2026 AGM covering auditor appointments and a major share buyback authorisation. The Audit Committee proposes re-electing Deloitte Ltd as both auditor and sustainability reporting assurance provider until the 2027 AGM, with fees paid against approved invoices, maintaining continuity in financial and ESG assurance.

The Board seeks authority to repurchase up to 250 million A shares, about 9.42% of outstanding A shares, with all repurchased stock to be cancelled. The buyback, to be funded from unrestricted equity, would reduce distributable funds but could enhance capital efficiency and shareholder value, and may be executed via market purchases or directed transactions if deemed financially justified.
