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.

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.
