Embracer Plans to Launch a Share Buyback Programme
Provided that the Annual General Meeting today authorises the board to buy back shares, Embracer Group AB intends to initiate a share buyback programme of up to SEK 500 Million (~€45.5 million), starting tomorrow, 19 September.
This buyback programme will begin on 19 September 2025 and continue until 2 December 2025 at the latest. "The purpose of the buybacks within the buyback program is to reduce the share capital of Embracer in order to optimize Embracer's capital structure and thereby contribute to increased shareholder value," the announcement reads. "The shares shall be purchased at a price no higher than the higher of the price of the last independent trade and the highest current independent purchase bid on Nasdaq Stockholm and in accordance with the restrictions relating to price in the Safe Harbor Regulation."
The maximum cumulative repurchase amount is SEK 500 million, roughly €45.5 million. The total number of shares in Embracer amounts to 225,119,707, divided on 9,000,000 A shares and 216,119,707 B shares. Embracer currently holds 138,104 of its own B shares. The share price has reacted positively to this announcement, with shares trading at €8.92. The market capitalisation of the Swedish company stands at SEK 20.68 billion (approximately €1.86 billion).
