This share buyback program is part of the shareholder distributions program of around EUR 1.7 billion through year-end 2030. In addition to the multi-year share buyback program, Vopak has enhanced the progressive dividend policy, through which the company intends to increase its dividend per share by 5% or more annually.

Vopak will cancel the repurchased shares subject to the relevant board and shareholder approvals. The share buyback program will be executed pursuant to the safe harbour regime of the Market Abuse Regulation and within the limits of the existing authority granted at the 2025 Annual General Meeting on 23 April 2025, and, subsequently, the authority (if granted) by the 2026 Annual General Meeting on 22 April 2026.
The share buyback program will be executed by an independent intermediary, allowing the execution of open market transactions during open and closed periods.

The share buyback program is separate from any share transactions Vopak may execute to cover obligations under its long-term incentive programs for employees.
The share buyback program may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time. Vopak will provide weekly updates on the progress of the share buyback program through press releases and transaction details on Vopak's website for the duration of the program.
