Investors
The Board of Directors’ view is that share repurchase programs provide a flexible and sustainable increase in the value created for MTG’s shareholders while enabling MTG to continue pursuing its strategic M&A objectives. The share repurchases are well supported by MTG’s healthy levels of cash generation and strong financial position. The total SEK 400 million which the Board intends to repurchase until the 2025 AGM is of similar size to the total amount of shares repurchased between the 2023 and 2024 General Meetings.
The repurchased shares shall be cancelled through a reduction of the group’s share capital, which requires an approval from the Annual General Meeting. The Board of Directors intends to seek such approval at the 2025 Annual General Meeting. The value of the program (if utilized in full) equals approximately 3.4% of MTG’s current market cap (calculated on the basis of all MTG A and B shares, excluding shares held in treasury).
The share repurchase program will be carried out in accordance with the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 (”MAR”) and the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 2016/1052 (the “Safe Harbour Regulation”). The share repurchase program will be managed by Kepler Cheuvreux, who will make its trading decisions regarding the timing of the repurchase of MTG’s shares independently of MTG.
The share repurchase program is subject to the following terms:
