This transaction, part of a broader buyback program announced on November 22, 2024, was conducted across several marketplaces, including XHEL and CEUX, with the total cost amounting to €18,943,677.

The buyback program, which Nokia’s Board of Directors initiated to mitigate the dilutive impact of shares issued to Infinera (NASDAQ:INFN) Corporation shareholders and certain stock-based incentives, commenced on November 25, 2024.

Following the latest transaction, Nokia now holds 179,424,434 of its own shares. The repurchases are carried out in compliance with the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) 596/2014 (MAR), the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052, and the authorization granted by the Nokia Annual General Meeting on April 3, 2024.
