HKFoods Plc, Stock Exchange Release, 13 February 2026 at 9:00 a.m. EET
The Board of Directors of HKFoods Plc has resolved to commence a share buy-back
program for the company's own Series A shares, based on the authorisation
received from the Annual General Meeting held on 23 April 2025. The repurchased
shares will be used to fulfill obligations related to the company's share-based
incentive schemes, based on which the company has a weighty financial reason for
repurchasing shares otherwise than in proportion to the shares owned by
shareholders.
The total number of shares to be repurchased is maximum 90,000 Series A shares,
which corresponds to approximately 0.1 per cent of all HKFoods shares in the
company. A maximum amount of EUR 400,000 can be used for the buy-back program.
Acquisition of Series A shares will commence no earlier than 13 February 2026
and will end no later than 30 April 2026. The company does not currently hold
own shares.
The shares will be acquired at market price in public trading on Nasdaq Helsinki
Ltd using the company's nonrestricted equity and in compliance with the price
and volume limits applicable under the safe harbor rules.
The acquisition of shares will be conducted in accordance with the Market Abuse
Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 and the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU)
2016/1052, specifically the so-called safe harbor rules.
The company has appointed an independent broker to carry out the buyback
program. The broker will decide independently on the repurchase of shares in
compliance with applicable price and volume limits as well as other terms of the
program.
