Reinet Investments SCA REINET INVESTMENTS S.C.A. ANNOUNCES SHARE BUYBACK PROGRAMME
Reinet Investments S.C.A. (the ‘Company’) announced on 18 June 2026 its intention to purchase its ordinary shares at market value for an aggregate maximum amount of € 500 million, subject to a maximum of 16.5 million ordinary shares, over the period up to the Company’s 2027 Annual General Meeting, through a number of successive programmes. The implementation of these programmes commenced with the Company’s 6th share buyback programme, which was completed on 30 July 2026 and resulted in the purchase of 2 500 000 ordinary shares.
In this context, the Company announces today the proposed commencement of its 7th share buyback programme (the “Programme”). The Programme has been approved by Reinet Investments Manager S.A., the general partner of the Company, but remains conditional upon the authorisation to be granted by the Company’s shareholders at the annual general meeting to be held on 13 August 2026 at 2:00 p.m. CEST. Subject to such shareholder authorisation being granted, the Company intends to purchase ordinary shares under the Programme at market price for an aggregate maximum amount of € 250 million, subject to a maximum of 8 millon ordinary shares, over a period commencing on 18 August 2026 and ending on 15 December 2026 at the latest.
Following the completion of the above-mentioned programme, the Company will consider any additional sharebuyback programme in January 2027.
The purpose of the Programme is to return value to the Company’s shareholders. Shares repurchased under the Programme may be used for any legitimate purpose, including as consideration for acquisitions.
The Programme will be executed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange by an intermediary. The Company will not at any time have the right to instruct the intermediary to amend the parameters of the Programme, thereby allowing the intermediary to execute share repurchases in the market during both open and closed periods.
The Programme will be executed within the limits of that authority, including the limitation that the repurchase price must not exceed an amount equal to 110% of the reference price of the ordinary shares on the relevant exchange, the reference price being the weighted average price of such ordinary shares during the five trading days immediately prior to the acquisition of such shares. In addition, buybacks will not be made at a price higher than the higher of the price of the last independent trade and the highest current independent bid on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.
Purchases under the Programme shall not on any trading day on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange exceed 25% of the average daily volume of the shares traded during the 20 trading days preceding the date of purchase.
Concurrently, the Rupert family has declared its intention not to sell any shares during the duration of this Programme.
The Company will publish regular updates relating to the Programme and a further announcement on completion or expiration of the Programme, all of which will also be available at www.reinet.com/investor-relations/company-announcements.html
