Sampo plc acquired 327,825 of its own A shares on August 8, 2025, at a weighted average price of 9.84 EUR. This is part of a share buyback program of up to 200 million EUR, approved by the company's annual general meeting on April 23, 2025. Sampo now owns 656,897 shares, representing 0.02% of the total number of shares.

Sampo plc has continued its share buyback program, acquiring 327,825 of its own A shares on August 8, 2025. The transaction, executed at a weighted average price of 9.84 EUR, is part of a larger share buyback program authorized by the company's annual general meeting on April 23, 2025. This buyback program aims to return excess capital generated in 2024, with a total budget of up to EUR 200 million [1].

The acquisition of 327,825 shares brings the total number of shares Sampo plc owns to 656,897, representing 0.02% of the company's total shares. The buyback program is designed to reduce Sampo's capital and enhance its balance sheet efficiency. The shares are being acquired through public trading on multiple exchanges, including Nasdaq Helsinki, CBOE, Turquoise, and Aquis [2].

Morgan Stanley has been appointed as the lead manager for the share buyback program, which operates independently within the announced parameters. The purchase price per share will not exceed the highest price paid for Sampo shares in public trading on the repurchase day or the five-day volume-weighted average price. The minimum purchase price is set at 20% below the lowest trading price during the authorization period [3].

Sampo's commitment to capital management and efficient balance sheet operations is evident in this strategic move. The company retains the option to increase the buyback program if it successfully generates additional excess capital through the disposal of legacy assets during the second half of the year [4].
