Fed Governor Adriana Kugler to resign
ESPOO - Nokia Oyj (NYSE:NOK) has successfully completed its share repurchase program that was initiated on November 22, 2024. The purpose of the buyback was to offset the dilutive effect of the acquisition of Infinera (NASDAQ:INFN). During the period between November 25, 2024, and today, Nokia repurchased 150 million of its own shares (FI0009000681) at an average price of approximately €4.69.
The company plans to cancel the acquired shares in April 2025. The buybacks under this program reduced the company’s distributable reserves by about €703 million. Following the repurchases, Nokia now holds a total of 220,509,131 of its own shares.
The shares were acquired through directed buying in public trading on the regulated market of Nasdaq Helsinki and in certain multilateral trading facilities, outside the proportionate ownership of Nokia’s shareholders.
