Sampo launches €350M share buyback program to return capital and reduce shares.

Sampo's board has approved a €350 million share buyback program, allowing the purchase of up to 45 million A-shares, about 1.69% of total shares. The program runs from May 7 to October 30, 2026, aiming to return capital to shareholders and reduce share count by cancelling bought-back shares. The buybacks will be conducted on several stock exchanges under strict price limits and regulatory compliance. The board may expand the program later if additional capital is raised from selling old financial investments.
