What the Numbers Show

The concentration of buying volume on July 29 (55.4% of the weekly total) suggests targeted execution rather than passive accumulation throughout the week. The weighted average price remained stable between EUR 9.58 and EUR 9.67 daily, indicating disciplined execution within a narrow band. With 0.76 per cent of shares now held in treasury, Sampo maintains a relatively modest buyback position relative to its total equity base, leaving significant capacity remaining under the EUR 350 million mandate.

The share repurchase programme was announced on May 6, 2026, with a maximum ceiling of EUR 350 million. It commenced on May 7, 2026, operating under the authorization granted by Sampo’s Annual General Meeting on April 22, 2026. All transactions were conducted in compliance with the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) 596/2014 (MAR) and the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052. Morgan Stanley Co. International plc acted as the broker for these transactions.

Trading activity was distributed across four major markets: Nasdaq Helsinki (XHEL), Nasdaq Stockholm (CEUX), Nasdaq Copenhagen (TQEX), and the London Stock Exchange (AQEU). Nasdaq Helsinki remained the primary venue for volume, accounting for the majority of the weekly purchases. The weighted average price remained stable throughout the week, fluctuating narrowly between EUR 9.59 and EUR 9.65 across different trading days and venues.

Following the completion of week 30 transactions, Sampo plc’s total treasury holding of its own A shares increased to 18,456,665 shares. This aggregate holding represents 0.69 per cent of the total number of shares in Sampo plc. The company continues to monitor market conditions to execute further purchases within the remaining limits of its EUR 350 million programme.

What the Numbers Show

The distribution of trading volume highlights Sampo’s reliance on domestic liquidity for large-scale repurchases. Nasdaq Helsinki accounted for approximately 55.5 per cent of the total weekly volume (751,121 shares), while Nasdaq Stockholm contributed roughly 36.6 per cent (495,459 shares). The combined activity on these two exchanges constituted over 92 per cent of all trades executed during the week. This concentration suggests that while the programme is pan-European, execution efficiency remains highest in Finland and Sweden, likely due to deeper order books and lower transaction costs for larger block sizes in these venues.
