Ageas announces new share buy-back programme

Ageas’s Board of Directors has decided to initiate a new share buy-back programme of its outstanding common stock for an amount of EUR 200 million. This follows the shareholders’ authorisation granted in May 2024. The share buy-back programme is scheduled to run from 16 September 2024 until 31 July 2025.

The programme will be executed adhering to industry best practices and will comply with relevant buy-back rules and regulations. To this end, Ageas will mandate an independent broker to conduct the purchases on the open market via Euronext Brussels on its behalf. The bought back shares will be held as treasury shares.

Ageas will keep the market fully informed of the progress of the programme in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements.
