Amsterdam, 25 February 2019 - Arcadis (EURONEXT: ARCAD), the leading global Design & Consultancy firm for natural and built assets, today announced the start of a share buyback program over the next four months to repurchase up to 850,000 shares in order to cover obligations from employee incentive plans. Arcadis will hold the repurchased shares as treasury shares until they are distributed to its participants.
The share buyback program will be executed within the parameters of the exemption for buyback programs provided by Article 5 of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052, and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Buyback will be within the limitations of the authorities granted by the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders including, but not limited to the current limitation that the repurchase price is at a price that is equal to at least the nominal value of the ordinary shares, and at most the listed share price plus 10%. For this purpose, the listed share price is calculated as the average of the share closing price according to the Daily Official List of Euronext N.V., Amsterdam, on each of the five trading days preceding the date on which the shares are acquired.
The share buyback program will be executed by an intermediary to allow for share buybacks in the open market during both open and closed periods. Overviews of all transactions under this program will be published in press releases and on the website of Arcadis on a weekly basis (https://www.arcadis.com/en/global/investors/).
