On 26 November 2025 UIE launched two parallel share buy-back programmes—a 'Safe Harbour' programme and a 'Block Trade' programme—aiming to repurchase up to 645,000 shares, representing about 2% of the company’s share capital, before the end of 2026 (Company Announcement No. 10/2025); the company states that details of transactions executed under the programmes are enclosed.
On 26 November 2025 UIE announced two parallel share buy-back programmes — a 'Safe Harbour' programme and a 'Block Trade' programme — with a combined intent to repurchase up to 645,000 shares, equal to roughly 2% of the company's share capital, to be completed before the end of 2026 (Company Announcement No. 10/2025). The company states that details of transactions executed under the programmes are enclosed, indicating that at least some purchases have already been made under the authorizations. A repurchase of ~2% is modest in scale and therefore likely to be only mildly accretive to per-share metrics absent larger reductions or operational improvement; the announcement nonetheless conveys a management signal favoring capital return and active balance-sheet management. Given the dual structure, block trades could enable faster, discrete reductions in float while the safe-harbour route supports ongoing systematic purchases, both of which can provide near-term support to the share price and reduce free float volatility. Key monitoring points for investors are the execution pace, average execution price relative to the market, and disclosures about funding; because the program is limited in size and spread over more than a year, its market impact is expected to be limited despite the positive tone.
