Festi hf.: Buy-back Program

The Annual General Meeting of Festi held 22 March 2021 empowered the Board of Directors, pursuant to Article 55 of the Company Act No 2/1995, to purchase upto 10% of the company‘s shares on its behalf. The purpose of the program is to decrease the number of issued shares.

The Board of Directors of Festi has on the basis of the mandate issued by the Annual General Meeting adopted a decision on the execution of a buy-back program. The aim is to buy back own shares for the maximum amount of 3,500,000 shares or 1.08% of issued shares, the total amount of the buy-back however not exceeding 750,000,000 ISK in total purchase price.

The buy-back will be executed in stages, with the maximum amount of shares set at 250,000 shares equivalent to 18% of the average daily trade in the company‘s shares on Nasdaq OMX Iceland in August 2021. The share price shall not exceed the highest price in the last independent trade or highest existing bid in the Nasdaq OMX Iceland trading venue, which ever is higher.

The buy-back program will start on Monday 20 September 2021 and remain in force until 15 October 2021 unless the conditions on the maximum amount will be met before that time.
