Bank of Åland begins acquisitions of its own
shares
The Board of Directors of the Bank of Åland has decided to begin
acquisitions of the Bank’s own shares, as authorised by the Annual
General Meeting (AGM) on March 30, 2021. The maximum number of
shares that may be acquired on the basis of the Board’s acquisition
decision, in one or more rounds, is 375,000 Series B shares, which
is equivalent to 4.1 per cent of the total number of Series B
shares and 2.4 per cent the total number of shares. The maximum
amount that may be used for the buy-back is EUR 10,500,000. The
Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) has granted
permission for the buy-back of the Bank’s own shares.
The acquisition of shares will begin at the earliest on November
9, 2021 and will end at the latest on March 30, 2022. The shares
will be acquired using unrestricted equity capital in public
trading on the Nasdaq Helsinki Oy (Helsinki Stock Exchange) on the
day of the acquisition. The shares will be acquired and paid for
according to the rules of Nasdaq Helsinki Oy.
The shares will be acquired in order to change the Bank of
Åland’s capital structure, to be used as consideration in
acquisitions of companies or sectoral reorganisations or as part of
the Bank of Åland’s incentive programmes and may otherwise be
transferred onward or kept by the Bank of Åland. There are thus
weighty financial reasons to carry out a targeted acquisition.
The AGM that was held on March 30, 2021 authorised the Board of
the Bank of Åland to approve acquisitions of the Bank of Åland’s
own shares. This authorisation is in force until the next AGM, but
no longer than until September 30, 2021. The authorisation covers
buy-backs of no more than 1,500,000 Series B shares, which is
equivalent to about 10 per cent of all shares in the Bank of Åland
and about 16.4 per cent of all Series B shares in the Bank of
Åland.
