Share buyback
10/2/2012 1:00 AM EST
Telenor has on 1 October 2012 purchased 465,406 own shares
at an average price of NOK 112.11 per share. After this
transaction, Telenor owns a total 8,087,108 own shares.
The transaction is part of the share buyback programme
announced by Telenor Group on 24 July 2012. The buyback
programme comprises around 47 million shares, of which close
to half will be repurchased in the market. The rest will be
purchased from the Kingdom of Norway through the Ministry of
Trade and Industry on a proportionate basis, so that the
Ministry's current ownership interest in Telenor of 53.97%
will remain unaffected.
