ESPOO - Nokia Oyj (HEL:HE:NOKIA) has proceeded with the repurchase of its own shares on March 28, 2025, as part of its ongoing buyback program intended to offset the dilutive effect of shares issued to Infinera (NASDAQ:INFN) Corporation shareholders and certain stock-based incentives. The Finnish telecommunications company reported acquiring a total of 4,666,031 shares across different marketplaces at a weighted average price of €4.90 per share, amounting to a total expenditure of €22,850,954 on the day.

The buyback is executed in compliance with the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) 596/2014 (MAR), the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052, and the authorization granted by Nokia’s Annual General Meeting on April 3, 2024.
