4min read Sydbank's share buyback programmes have been a notable feature of its capital management strategy in recent years. The bank's most recent programme, initiated in March 2024 with a planned expenditure of DKK 1.2 billion, is set to be completed by January 2025. This programme, like its predecessors, aligns with Sydbank's long-term objective of reducing its share capital, thereby enhancing shareholder value.
In week 47 of 2024, Sydbank's share buyback programme saw significant activity, with the bank acquiring a substantial number of shares at favourable prices. The transactions, executed in compliance with the Safe Harbour rules, reflect Sydbank's commitment to strategic capital management and investor relations.
The following table illustrates the transactions made by Sydbank during week 47 of its share buyback programme:
| Number of Shares | VWAP | Gross Value (DKK) | Accumulated, Most Recent |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 2,798,000 | 984,889,190.00 | 18 November 2024 |

These transactions have brought Sydbank's total holdings of own shares to 2,872,080, representing 5.26% of the Bank's share capital.
The decision to initiate these buybacks is likely influenced by a combination of factors, including Sydbank's financial performance, market conditions, and regulatory constraints. By reducing its share capital, Sydbank aims to improve its capitalization ratio and enhance shareholder returns. However, investors should remain cognizant of the bank's risk profile and capitalization ratio, as buybacks may impact these metrics.
In conclusion, Sydbank's share buyback programme, particularly its transactions in week 47, reflects the bank's strategic approach to capital management and investor relations. By adhering to regulatory guidelines and monitoring market conditions, Sydbank is well-positioned to continue enhancing shareholder value through these programmes.
