Share buyback
16 Jan, 2013 07:00 CET
Telenor has on 15 January 2013 purchased 420,000 own
shares at an average price of NOK 116.70 per share.
After this transaction, Telenor owns a total of
17,997,374 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.
For further information about the share buyback
programme Telenor refers to the Oslo Stock Exchange
notification made on 24 July 2012 (available from
www.newsweb.no).
