August 8, 2024
SBM Offshore is pleased to announce that the EUR65 million (c. US$70 million) share repurchase program effective from March 1, 2024 (the “Structural Buyback”), has been increased by an additional amount of EUR65 million (c. US$71 million equivalent1) effective from August 8, 2024 (the “Incremental Buyback”).
To date, share repurchases for an aggregate purchase price of EUR37.5 million have been completed under the Structural Buyback, representing approximately 58% completion of the program. The objective of the Structural Buyback is to reduce the Company’s share capital. All shares purchased will therefore be cancelled. The program is expected to be completed within 2024.
The objective of the Incremental Buyback is to reduce share capital and, in addition, to provide shares for regular management and employee share programs. The Incremental Buyback is expected to be completed by end of April 2025 and it will be accomplished under the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting of the Company on April 12, 2024.
The execution of the share repurchase program will be done under the terms of an engagement letter with a third party, performed in compliance with the safe harbor provisions for share repurchases, and therefore transactions may be carried out during closed periods.
In accordance with the European Market Abuse Regulation, the Company will inform the market of the progress made in the execution of this program through weekly press releases and updates on its website.
