The objective of the share repurchase programme is to optimise the company's capital structure and thus create increased value for the shareholders.

The maximum amount for which shares may be acquired may not exceed SEK 500 million. The maximum number of shares that may be acquired is such that Vitrolife Group's holding of own shares at any time does not exceed 10 per cent of the total number of shares in the company. Acquisitions shall be made in accordance with the price limitations set out in Nasdaq Stockholm's Rulebook for Issuers, which states that shares may not be purchased at a price higher than the higher of the price of the last independent trade and the highest current independent purchase bid on Nasdaq Stockholm. Acquisitions may not be made at a price lower than the lowest price at which an independent purchase can be made. The shares shall be paid in cash.
As of the date of this press release, the total number of shares in the company is 135,447,190. As of the date of this press release, Vitrolife Group holds 24,568 own shares in treasury.
The share repurchase will be carried out in addition to the ordinary cash dividend of SEK 1.10 per share for the 2025 financial year, as resolved by the Annual General Meeting on 5 May 2026. The company’s dividend policy, under which 30–50% of net income over time is to be distributed to shareholders, remains unchanged.
Completed acquisitions will be reported in accordance with applicable rules.
