The repurchase program operates under Article 5(2) of Regulation (EU) 596/2014, the Market Abuse Regulation, with the stated purpose "to meet obligations arising from share option programmes, or other allocations of shares, to employees or to members of the administrative, management or supervisory bodies of the issuer or of an associate company" (6-K filing, 2026-08-17).
The program was originally approved by a shareholder resolution dated May 22, 2024, and by the supervisory board, with the company first disclosing the initiative via press release on June 21, 2024 (6-K filing, 2026-08-17).
