As part of its strategy, “Leading the Transformation”, the Executive Board of Deutsche Börse AG has decided to refine its capital allocation principles. Going forward, the company intends to complement the dividend distribution with regular annual share buybacks. The volume and timing of the share buybacks will be decided on an annual basis, with the volume being subject to the expected level of excess liquidity. This refinement reflects the company’s continued strong growth outlook and the expected increase in operating leverage.
In this context, the Executive Board has resolved to implement a share buyback program of €500 million in 2026 (excluding incidental acquisition costs).
The share buyback program is based on the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting of Deutsche Börse AG on 14 May 2024 to buyback own shares. The share buyback will be carried out in accordance with the safe harbour rules set out in Article 5 of the EU Market Abuse Regulation (Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014). The repurchased shares are to be cancelled.
