It should be noted that the share buyback programme authorized by shareholders at the ordinary Annual General Meeting held on 28 October 2021 and the European Central Bank on 11 November 2021 was completed on 14 June 2022. The rationale for the buyback was to finance possible acquisitions, to implement share-based compensation schemes for Group staff, for sale on the market or OTC, and/or cancellation. Mediobanca has bought back a total of 25,871,097 shares, or 2.99% of its share capital, for a total outlay of €241.4m.
Today’s cancellation generates an increase of 2% in the per share values as at 30 June 2022: thus, EPS rises from €1.05 to €1.07, and TBVPS from €10.6 to €10.8.
