The shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on 19 May 2021 authorized the Board of Directors to undertake a buy-back program. Based on this authorization, Tethys Oil’s Board of Directors decided to initiate a share buy-back program subject to the limitations outlined below, which was announced on 9 September 2021. The main reason for the buy-back program is to give the company flexibility regarding its equity and thereby optimize the capital structure of the company. Repurchased shares may also be used as payment for, or financing of, acquisitions of companies or businesses or in connection with handling of incentive programs. The buy-back program is being implemented in accordance with the EU Market Abuse Regulation No 596/2014 (“MAR”) and Commission Delegated Regulation No 2016/1052 (“Safe Harbour Regulation”). The repurchase of shares may only be effected on Nasdaq Stockholm, on one or several occasions before the Annual General Meeting 2022, and within the registered price interval at any given time, i.e. the range between the highest bid price and lowest selling price, and otherwise in accordance with the conditions for repurchases set out in the Nasdaq Stockholm Issuer Rules and in accordance with MAR and the Safe Harbour Regulation. Purchases may be made by a maximum of so many shares that the company’s holding of own shares after the purchase amounts to a maximum of one-tenth of all the shares in the company.
