Wolters Kluwer today reports that it has repurchased 218,400 of its own ordinary shares in the period from August 30, 2018up to and including September 5, 2018 for €12.0 million and at an average share price of €54.79.
These share repurchases are part of the three-year share buyback program (2016-2018) originally announced on February 24, 2016. This program was subsequently expanded to include additional repurchases intended to mitigate dilution caused by non-core divestments made in 2017 and early 2018. This buyback program includes repurchases made to offset annual incentive share issuance.
