Share buyback programme

 

Baltic Classifieds Group PLC, (LSE: BCG), the leading online classifieds group
in the Baltics, notes that it is approaching completion of its existing share
buyback programme of 50,039,240 shares announced on 30 September 2022 (the
"Buyback Programme").

 

BCG obtains authority each year at its Annual General Meeting to purchase its
own shares. The authority obtained at the Annual General Meeting in September
2025 (the "2025 AGM") allowed BCG to purchase a maximum of 48,435,267 shares.
As at 21 April 2026, the Company retains authority to purchase 15,683,569
shares, which it intends to utilise in full.

 

As at 21 April 2026, the Company has purchased 44,872,759 shares under the
Buyback Programme, with 5,166,481 shares remaining to be purchased. As a
result, BCG will now extend the Buyback Programme to include the shares
remaining under the 2025 AGM authority. The share buyback programme extension
will be for a maximum amount of €45 million and will end upon the 2025 AGM
authority to purchase its own shares being fully utilised.

 

Based on current market conditions and the trajectory of recent buyback
activity, BCG expects to complete the maximum purchases permissible under its
2025 AGM authority in June 2026. As the Company's next Annual General Meeting
is scheduled to take place in September 2026, the Board intends to seek an
incremental one-off authority to continue its share buyback programme during
the intervening period by convening a General Meeting. A notice convening the
General Meeting will be published in due course with further information.

 

The purpose of the share buyback programme is to reduce the Company's share
capital and return capital to shareholders. It is intended that shares
purchased under this programme will be immediately cancelled.

 

The share buyback programme will be conducted in accordance with the Company's
general authority to repurchase shares, the UKLA Listing Rules and relevant
conditions for trading, restrictions regarding time and volume, disclosure and
reporting obligations, and price conditions.
