Lindt & Sprüngli Concludes Early Buyback, Introduces New Program

Chocoladefabriken Lindt & Sprüngli AG announced the completion of its share buyback program ahead of schedule. The initiative, which began on August 2, 2024, ended on April 9, 2026. This program resulted in the repurchase of 601 registered shares and 39,420 participation certificates, amounting to CHF 499,305,010. These transactions were carried out via separate trading lines on the SIX Swiss Exchange.

During the general meeting on April 16, 2025, a decision was made to reduce capital by canceling a portion of the shares and certificates. Further reductions will be proposed in upcoming meetings. Lindt & Sprüngli will introduce a new buyback program up to CHF 1 billion, beginning in May 2026, with a duration of up to three years, using similar trading channels as the previous program.
