Telenor ASA has mandated DNB Carnegie, part of DNB Bank ASA, to execute a share buyback of up to NOK 92 million, or a maximum of 1,840,000 shares, between 2 and 6 March 2026. The repurchased shares will fund the group’s general employee share purchase plan and an executive compensation scheme using restricted shares, drawing on an existing AGM authorisation allowing up to 10 million shares in such programmes.
