On October 28, 2022, Safran (Euronext Paris: SAF) announced that it would repurchase up to 9.4 million of its own shares (c. 2.2% of its capital) with a view to eliminating the potential dilution risk related to its convertible bonds maturing in 2027. Since then, Safran already repurchased 6.9 million shares to this end.
On April 7, 2023, Safran has entered into an agreement with an investment services provider for the implementation of a new tranche of this repurchase to meet its obligations arising from its convertible bonds maturing in 2027. According to this agreement, Safran will acquire up to Euro 350 million worth of ordinary shares from April 11, 2023 and no later than June 9, 2023.
This operation will be carried out in accordance with the share buyback authorization granted on May 25, 2022 by the shareholders’ General meeting that has set the maximum purchase price at Euro 165 per share, then, as the case may be, in accordance with a new buyback program at a maximum price of Euro 175 per share that will be submitted to the authorization of the shareholders’ General meeting on May 25, 2023.
