Bank added to GDR buyback programme
28.02.2022
Globaltrans Investment PLC (the “Company” and together with its consolidated subsidiaries “Globaltrans” or the “Group”; LSE/MOEX ticker: GLTR) today announces that it has entered into an agreement with Renaissance Capital to conduct its buyback programme (“the Programme”) on the Company’s behalf and, if required, to make trading decisions concerning purchases under the Programme independently of the Company.
The Programme is for the Company's Global Depositary Receipts ("GDRs") listed on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange and the Moscow Exchange and is executed under the authority that was granted by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) held on 29 April 2021. This authority lasts for a period of twelve months from that date and permits the Company to repurchase a total number of GDRs not to exceed 5% of the Company’s share capital (equivalent to 8,937,046 shares, with each GDR representing one ordinary share). The actual number of GDRs repurchased by the Company will depend on market conditions.
Purchases will be carried out in compliance with the relevant conditions for trading, as well as restrictions regarding pricing, timing and volume, and may take place in multiple instalments over the course of the Programme. Details of any such purchase will be released via the Regulatory News Service of the London Stock Exchange and published on the Company's website. In line with relevant legislation, GDRs repurchased by the Company may be held in treasury for up to two years.
