Vend Marketplaces ASA ( (GB:0R9I) ) has provided an announcement.

Vend Marketplaces ASA has continued executing its share buyback programme, purchasing 300,000 shares between 30 March and 1 April 2026 at an average price of NOK 237.36, across trading venues including Oslo Børs, CBOE, Aquis and Turquoise. Following these transactions, the company has repurchased a total of 7,542,983 shares for about NOK 1.96 billion under the programme and now holds 7,821,935 treasury shares, representing 3.58% of its outstanding share capital, signalling ongoing capital return to shareholders and active balance sheet management.

The buyback, originally announced in November 2025 with a planned maximum value of NOK 2 billion and scheduled to run until late June 2026, is now effectively near its stated ceiling. This development underlines Vend’s willingness to deploy significant cash to support its share price and optimize its capital structure, a move that may be welcomed by investors seeking enhanced earnings per share and a tighter free float in the Nordic marketplaces group.
