Report this content

SimCorp A/S (“SimCorp”) has today initiated a share buyback programme for up to EUR 5.0 million, to be executed during the period from 29 May 2012 to 27 August 2012.

The buyback programme is being launched in accordance with the authorisation granted by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on 29 March 2012 to repurchase of up to 10% of the SimCorp’s share capital in the period until the next annual general meeting.

The buyback programme will be structured in compliance with the rules of Commission Regulation No. 2273/2003 of 22 December 2003, which provides protection against violation of insider trading legislation in connection with the execution of the buyback.

SimCorp has appointed Danske Bank A/S as lead manager of the buyback programme for EUR 5.0 million. Under the agreement Danske Bank A/S will purchase shares on behalf of SimCorp and will make its trading decisions independently of, and without influence by, SimCorp.

The buyback programme is subject to the following terms:

  • The purpose of the programme is to reduce the share capital of SimCorp and to meet the obligations arising from SimCorp’s incentive scheme
  • Total purchases of own shares will be limited to a total market value of EUR 5.0 million
  • Maximum number of shares that can be bought is 1,000,000 shares of DKK 1 each
  • Execution of the buyback will take place from 29 May 2012 to 27 August 2012
  • Maximum number of shares to be purchased in SimCorp per daily market session will be the equivalent to 25% of the average volume of SimCorp shares traded on NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen during the preceding 20 business days
  • During the life of the buyback programme no shares will be purchased at a price exceeding the higher of the following two prices on NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen:

                1. The price of the last independent trade, and
                 2. The highest current independent bid
