Under the share buy-back programme, NORDEN will purchase treasury shares for up to a total of USD 30 million (approximately DKK 170 million).

The third phase of the share buy-back programme will have a value of up to DKK 50 million and is expected to run until 12 November 2013. The following phases, which may bring the value of the total share buy-back up to a total of USD 30 million, are expected to be decided upon and announced in connection with publication of the Company’s interim reports.
