Invalda INVL, one of the Baltic region's leading asset management groups, will acquire 1,14 per cent of its own shares, paying EUR 557.9 thousand for them (excluding brokerage fees).
Via the Nasdaq Vilnius exchange, investors offered 135 739 shares for the share buy-back which was conducted from 5 May to 19 May. The company had offered to purchase up to 250 thousand of its own shares. Thus each investor will sell 100 per cent of the number of shares they have offered. Settlement for the shares will take place on 23 May.
"The goal of the share purchase was for the price of the shares on the exchange to come closer to their fair value. Such buy-backs may also be initiated in the future," said Alvydas Banys, the Chairman of the Board of Invalda INVL.
A price per share of EUR 4.11 was offered, valuing the whole company at EUR 48.2 million.
