SEB completes latest share buyback programme and initiates new programme

SEB has completed its latest share buyback programme, under which SEK 1.25 billion of Class A shares has been repurchased. 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 29 April 2026, SEB announced a SEK 1.25 billion share buyback programme for capital management purposes. The repurchases of shares began on 30 April 2026 and ended on 13 July 2026. During this period, SEB repurchased 6,606,166 of its own Class A shares at an average price per share of SEK 189.22, for a total purchase amount of SEK 1.25 billion. 

SEB has received approval from the Swedish FSA to buy back shares for an amount of SEK 1.25bn. On 14 July 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 16 July 2026 and end on 20 October 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. 

As of 30 June 2026, the total number of issued shares in SEB amounted to 1,985,461,084 and SEB held 35,926,433 own shares.
