5 November – The Board of Directors of SmartCraft Group AB (publ) (“SmartCraft” or the “Company”) has resolved to launch a synthetic share buyback programme. The programme will be carried out through an agreement with DNB Carnegie Investment Bank AB (publ) (”DNB Carnegie”) and may comprise a maximum amount of SEK 120 million and no more than 6,990,277 ordinary shares in SmartCraft.
The maximum number of shares under the programme corresponds to approximately 4.3 per cent of the Company’s currently outstanding shares.
The programme is being implemented pursuant to the authorisation granted by the Extraordinary General Meeting held on 29 April 2026. Under the authorisation, the aggregate number of ordinary shares underlying synthetic repurchases, together with shares already held by SmartCraft, may not at any time exceed 10 per cent of the total number of shares in the Company.
The purpose of the programme is to enable SmartCraft to continuously adjust its capital structure and thereby contribute to increased shareholder value.
The synthetic share buyback programme forms part of SmartCraft’s capital allocation framework. The Company intends to maintain flexibility to invest in organic growth and selective acquisitions while returning capital to shareholders when considered appropriate.
The programme will be conducted on the following terms:
The Board of Directors intends to propose that the repurchased shares under the synthetic share buyback programme be redeemed through a reduction of SmartCraft's share capital at an upcoming General Meeting.
