The Board of Directors has resolved to utilise the authorisation granted by the 24 March 2026 Annual General Meeting to initiate a new SEK 1.25 billion buyback programme of Class A shares.
On 28 April 2026, the Board of Directors resolved to utilise the authorisation granted by the Annual General Meeting held on 24 March 2026, to initiate a new SEK 1.25 billion buyback programme of Class A shares. The share buyback programme is expected to commence on 30 April 2026 and end on 13 July 2026, at the latest. A maximum number of shares may be repurchased so that SEB's total holding at any time does not exceed 10 per cent of SEB's total number of issued shares. Repurchased shares are expected to be cancelled.
The share buyback programme will be managed by an independent financial investment firm, which will make its trading decisions regarding the timing of the share repurchases independently of, and without influence by, SEB. Share repurchases shall take place on Nasdaq Stockholm Stock Exchange in accordance with the Nordic Main Market Rulebook for Issuers of Shares - NASDAQ Stockholm (Supplement D) and in accordance with the Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council on market abuse (MAR) and the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 (the Safe Harbour Regulation). Share repurchases under the share buyback programme may periodically be halted for SEB's repurchases of own shares for SEB's long-term incentive programme.
As of 24 April 2026, the total number of issued shares in SEB amounted to 1,985,461,084, of which SEB held 31,938,815 Class A shares.
Information about the repurchases under the share buyback programme is published weekly on SEB's website, www.sebgroup.com.
