According to the company, the cancellation reduces the number of issued Sampo A shares but does not affect the share capital. The cancelled amount represents 0.76 percent of Sampo's total shares before the cancellation.
Following the cancellation, Sampo's total number of shares stands at 2,670,754,027, consisting of 2,669,754,027 A shares and 1,000,000 B shares, with total voting rights of 2,674,754,027.
The company noted that since initiating its first share buyback programme in October 2021, it has repurchased and cancelled 347 million shares, equivalent to 12.5 percent of the total number of shares prior to the first programme.
The cancellation was executed in accordance with a decision by Sampo's Board of Directors, as stated in the company's announcement.
