Company share-plan-related repurchase of 350,000 shares

On November 9, 2023, SBM Offshore will start the repurchase of 350,000 of its own ordinary shares to meet obligations from regular management and employee share programs. At yesterday’s closing price on Euronext Amsterdam, the program would cost approximately EUR4.1 million (c. USD4.4 million). 

The repurchase program is expected to be completed up to and including December 29, 2023 or sooner if the maximum number of repurchased shares is reached earlier, pursuant to the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting of the Company on April 13, 2023.

The execution of the share repurchase program will be done under the terms of an engagement letter with a third party, performed in compliance with the safe harbor provisions for share repurchases. Accordingly, transactions may be carried out during closed periods.

In accordance with the European Market Abuse Regulation, the Company will inform the market of the progress made in the execution of this program through weekly press releases and updates on its website.
