The Board of Directors of Castellum has today, through utilization of the authorization granted by Castellum's Annual General Meeting held on 29 April 2026, resolved to initiate two share buy-back programmes, for a maximum aggregate amount of SEK 3.0 Bn.
"The amount is equivalent to 60 per cent of the proceeds from the divestment to Alecta of SEK 5.0 Bn. Capital distribution of part of the proceeds from the divestment to Wihlborgs will be decided upon at a later date," says Pål Ahlsén, CEO of Castellum.
"By using two parallel share buy-back programmes, we gain greater flexibility," says Christoffer Strömbäck, CFO of Castellum.
