Dampskibsselskabet NORDEN A/S – Weekly report on share buy-back
On 15 May 2013, NORDEN initiated the second phase of a share buy-back programme in accordance with EU Commission Regulation no. 2273/2003 (the Safe Harbor method), which ensures that the Company is protected against violation of insider legislation during the share buy-back.
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 first phase of the share buy-back programme ran from 8 April 2013 to 6 May 2013 and had a value of DKK 20 million. The second phase of the share buy-back programme will have a value of up to DKK 50 million and is expected to run until 13 August 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.
