The Company may buy back shares in order to develop its capital structure, finance and implement any corporate acquisitions or other transactions, implement share-based incentive plans, or otherwise dispose of or cancel them.

The Company may buy back shares, based on 

  1.    A bid submitted to all shareholders on equal terms and conditions in proportion to their current holdings in Company shares and at the same price, decided by the Board of Directors; or
  2.   Public trading on marketplaces whose rules and regulations allow the Company to trade in its shares. In such a case, the Company buys back shares through a directed purchase, that is, in a proportion other than its shareholders’ holdings in Company shares, with the consideration for the shares based on their publicly quoted market price.

The Board proposes that the authorization be valid until April 30, 2013. This authorization shall supersede the buyback authorization granted at the AGM of March 31, 2011.

The Board proposes that this authorization be used to finance and implement any prospective corporate acquisitions or other transactions, to implement the Company’s share-based incentive plans or for other purposes determined by the Board.  

The Board proposes that the authorization also grant the Board the right to decide on all terms and conditions governing said share issue and the granting of said special rights, including subscribers or the grantees of said special rights and the payable consideration. Moreover, the authorization also includes the right to waive shareholders’ pre-emptive subscription rights, thus enabling private placement of shares. The Board’s authorization covers both the issue of new shares and the transfer of any treasury shares possibly held by the Company.

The Board proposes that the authorization be valid until April 30, 2013. This authorization shall supersede the authorization to decide on a share issue and on the granting of special rights giving entitlement to shares granted in the AGM of March 31, 2011.
