LeoVegas had already announced that it would buy back its shares

In early December, LeoVegas’ board of directors decided to exercise the authorization to repurchase own shares granted by the company’s General Meeting held on May 11, 2021.

The purpose of the buyback is to optimize the company’s capital structure and create value for shareholders, reducing the number of shares outstanding. The repurchased shares can also be used as payment for potential future purchases.

The share buyback program is being initiated in accordance with the authorization granted by the shareholders at the Annual Meeting, aiming at the buyback of up to 10% of the total number of shares of the company before the 2022 meeting. This implies that a maximum of 10,165,297 shares may be owned by the company.
