- ams AG (SIX: AMS), a
leading worldwide supplier of high performance sensor solutions, announces that
the Management Board has decided to launch a share repurchase program comprising
up to 5% of the issued share capital. Based on the current outstanding number of
274,289,280 bearer shares, the maximum repurchase volume amounts to 13,714,464
bearer shares.
In line with the resolution by the Annual General Meeting on 5 June 2019, the
purpose of the new share repurchase program is to repurchase the necessary
shares to service obligations under long-term employee incentive programs taking
into account that under Austrian corporate law treasury shares are not entitled
to subscription rights in the context of a rights issue.
The repurchase of own shares shall be executed via the ordinary trading line on
SIX Swiss Exchange at market price. The repurchase program will commence on 8
April 2020 and will be upheld until 4 December 2021 at the latest. ams retains
the right to terminate the program at any time and has no obligation to purchase
own shares under this share repurchase program. The requirements set forth by
the Circular No 1 of the Swiss Takeover Board are complied with. Bank Vontobel
AG, Zurich (Switzerland), has been mandated to execute the share repurchase
program.
