Brenntag SE resolves on share buyback program with a total volume of up to EUR 750 million

With the approval of the Supervisory Board, the Management Board of Brenntag SE today resolved to launch a share buyback program. In the course of this share buyback shares in a volume amounting to up to EUR 750 million (plus incidental expenses) are to be bought back. On the basis of the current share price of EUR 71.58 per share (as of March 6, 2023), this corresponds to up to 10,477,787 shares, i.e. 6.8% of the company’s share capital. The share buyback program will be initiated in March 2023 and be conducted over a period of up to 12 months. The share buyback is based on the authorization granted by the General Shareholder’s Meeting on June 9, 2022.

The acquired shares may be used for all purposes authorized by the General Shareholder’s Meeting on June 9, 2022, including the cancellation of the shares. The share buyback will be based on the provisions of Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 of April 16, 2014, as last amended, and the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 of March 8, 2016. Further details will be published before the start of the share buyback program. Brenntag SE reserves the right to cancel the program at any time.
