IONOS Group SE Initiates New Share Buyback Program

IONOS Group SE has announced the launch of a new share buyback program, with plans to acquire up to 2,200,000 treasury shares. This represents approximately 1.6% of the company's share capital, valued at EUR 140 million. The buyback, amounting to up to EUR 60 million, will take place on the stock exchange and aims to fulfill employee share option programs, though it can be used for other authorized purposes.

The initiative is set to commence shortly and is expected to run until August 25, 2026. It builds upon the authorization from the Extraordinary Shareholder Meeting on January 26, 2023, allowing repurchase of up to 10% of the share capital. To date, IONOS has acquired 4,350,000 treasury shares and currently holds 3,153,361 shares.

The buyback will adhere to Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 and relevant Commission Delegated Regulations. IONOS reserves the right to suspend the program if necessary. Further information will be disclosed prior to the program's initiation.
