Sampo Calls AGM With Dividend Plan and Major Buyback Mandate

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

Sampo plc has convened its Annual General Meeting for 22 April 2026 in Helsinki, offering shareholders both in-person participation and the option to vote in advance, while also providing a non-voting webcast of the proceedings. The meeting will review the 2025 financial statements and sustainability reporting, with the board seeking shareholder approval for governance-related items, including discharge of liability and adoption of the remuneration report.

The board proposes a dividend of EUR 0.36 per share for the 2025 financial year, alongside modest increases in board and committee fees and a requirement that directors invest half of their net annual fees in Sampo A shares to align interests with shareholders. The nomination committee recommends re-electing seven current directors, introducing Andreas Brandstetter as a new member, and keeping the board at eight members, while the audit committee backs the reappointment of Deloitte as both auditor and sustainability assurance provider and the board seeks a substantial share buyback mandate of up to 250 million A shares for cancellation, potentially enhancing capital efficiency and shareholder value.
