The board of directors of Evolution Gaming Group AB (publ) has, based on the authorisation from the annual general meeting 2019, resolved that the company shall acquire own shares on Nasdaq Stockholm. The purpose of acquisitions of own shares shall be to improve the capital structure of the company by reducing the capital, and thereby creating added shareholder value.

The repurchase programme will be implemented in accordance with the EU Market Abuse Regulation No 596/2014 (“MAR”) and Commission Delegated Regulation No 2016/1052 (“Safe Harbour Regulation”).

Terms and conditions for acquisitions of own shares

  • The maximum amount for which shares may be acquired may not exceed EUR 10 million.
  • Acquisitions shall be made at a price within the registered price interval of the share at any given time.
  • Acquired shares shall be paid in cash.

Total number of shares in the company and the company’s holding of own shares
In accordance with the authorisation from the annual general meeting 2019 the company’s holding of own shares shall not at any given time exceed 10 per cent of all shares in the company. As of today, the total number of shares in the company is 181,622,725 shares. The company does not hold any own shares, which means that a maximum amount of 18,162,272 shares may be repurchased under the authorisation.
