Arise initiates new share buyback program

On 7 May 2024, Arise AB (below “Arise” or “the Company”) announced that the Board of Directors, based on the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting 2024, had resolved to initiate a buyback program. Within the framework of this buyback program, ordinary shares were repurchased for a total amount of approximately SEK 50 million. The Board of Directors has now decided to re-exercise the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting 2024 to repurchase the Company’s own ordinary shares for an amount of up to SEK 50 million.

Repurchases of Arise’s ordinary shares will be carried out on Nasdaq Stockholm in accordance with its Rulebook for Issuers, the EU Market Abuse Regulation (“MAR”) and the EU Commission’s Delegated Regulation 2016/1052 (the so-called “Safe Harbour Regulation”). Repurchases of shares will be managed by Kepler Cheuvreux, who will make its trading decisions regarding the timing of the repurchases of Arise’s shares independently of Arise.

“The company is in a very strong position and is taking the opportunity to contribute to increased shareholder value by buybacks. With our new, more flexible and cost-efficient financing in place, combined with fundamentally profitable operations as well as potential to realise values from our strong project portfolio, we are able to do this without any negative impact on our targets for profitable growth”, says CEO Per-Erik Eriksson.

The buyback program is subject to the following terms:

• The total number of shares that may be repurchased will be limited so that Arise’s holding of its own shares at no time exceeds 10 percent of the total number of ordinary shares outstanding. The Company’s intention is to repurchase own shares corresponding to an amount of up to a total of SEK 50 million.
• Repurchases of shares on Nasdaq Stockholm are to be made at a per-share price within the registered interval of the going rate at any given time, which denotes the interval between the highest purchase price and the lowest selling price.
• Repurchases of shares will commence earliest on 31 January 2025 to no later than the date of Arise’s Annual General Meeting in 2025, whereafter the buyback program may be extended in accordance with the resolution of the Annual General Meeting.
• Payment of the shares will be made in cash.

The purpose of the repurchase of the ordinary shares is to adapt the Company’s capital structure to its capital requirements over time, and thereby contribute to increased shareholder value. The intention is currently that the ordinary shares that have been repurchased will then be cancelled by resolutions at future General Meetings.

The total number of shares outstanding in the Company is 42,713,301 ordinary shares. Arise currently holds 1,293,988 shares.
