Amsterdam, April 23, 2025
SBM Offshore announces the completion of its EUR130 million share repurchase program initiated in 2024, and the commencement of a EUR141 million (US$150 million equivalent1) share repurchase program, as announced on February 20, 2025 and effective from April 24, 2025.
EUR141 million share repurchase program
The objective of the EUR141 million share repurchase program is to reduce share capital and, in addition, to provide shares for regular management and employee share programs (maximum US$25 million). The remainder of the repurchased shares will be cancelled. The share repurchase program is expected to be completed by February 26, 2026 and will be executed under the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting of the Company on April 9, 2025.
The share repurchase program will be executed under the terms of an engagement letter with a third party, performed in compliance with the safe harbor provisions for share repurchases, and therefore transactions may be carried out during closed periods.
In accordance with the European Market Abuse Regulation, the Company will inform the market of the progress made in the execution of this program through weekly press releases and updates on its website.
