Truecaller's board has decided to resume share buybacks
The Board of Truecaller has decided to utilize the mandate given by the Annual General Meeting on the 26th of May 2023 to buy back B-shares. The purpose of the buy backs is to give the board of directors the opportunity to continuously adapt the company’s capital structure and thereby contribute to increased shareholder value, to be able to exploit attractive acquisition opportunities by fully or partly financing future acquisitions of companies, with the company’s own shares, and for financing and/or securing the delivery of series B shares in long-term incentive programs approved by the general meeting.
The program will be initiated at the earliest today the 7th of June and will last until the 2024 Annual General Meeting at the latest.
Reporting of repurchased shares will be carried out in accordance with applicable rules.
The repurchase program is subject to the following terms:
- The share repurchases shall be made on Nasdaq Stockholm in accordance with its Rulebook for Issuers of Shares (below the “Rulebook”)
- The share repurchases shall commence no earlier than today the 7th of June 2023, and shall end no later than the 2024 Annual General Meeting
- The share repurchases are to be carried out on one or more occasions, at a price per share within the registered span of share prices on the stock exchange at the particular time, (i.e. the interval between the highest buying price and the lowest selling price) on Nasdaq Stockholm
- The share repurchases may only be made in accordance with the restrictions regarding volume for acquisitions of own shares stated in the Rulebook
- The total number of shares that may be repurchased (including previous buy-backs) may correspond to a maximum of 10 percent of the number of outstanding shares in the company on the day of the 2023 annual general meeting, which corresponds to 37,905,971 shares.
- The shares are to be paid for in cash
