An announcement from Vend Marketplaces ASA ( (GB:0R9I) ) is now available.
Vend Marketplaces ASA has launched the first tranche of a share buyback programme of up to NOK 4 billion, split into two NOK 2 billion phases, as part of its capital return strategy to shareholders. The first tranche, conditional on Annual General Meeting approval and regulatory registration, will run from 4 May to 30 October 2026, allowing repurchases within a NOK 50–500 price range and covering up to about 3.8% of issued shares.
Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB will execute the first tranche independently, with the company retaining flexibility to end the programme early depending on market conditions. Most of the repurchased shares are intended to be cancelled to reduce share capital, with a portion reserved for employee share saving and long-term incentive schemes, reinforcing both capital efficiency and alignment with staff incentives.
Following the Annual General Meeting’s decision to redeem 7,298,880 treasury shares, Vend’s share capital will be reduced by NOK 3,649,440 to NOK 105,455,905.50, representing 210,911,811 shares outstanding. The share buyback and capital reduction together signal an active capital management approach that could enhance earnings per share and consolidate the company’s financial and market position, subject to shareholder and board approvals.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:0R9I) stock is a Sell with a NOK232.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Vend Marketplaces ASA stock, see the GB:0R9I Stock Forecast page.
