Bavarian Nordic Launches Planned Share Buy-Back Program of DKK 150
Million
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, January 9, 2025 –
Bavarian Nordic A/S (OMX: BAVA) announced today the initiation of a
share buy-back program of up to DKK 150 million as announced on
December 11, 2024. The decision to launch the program is driven by
a better-than-expected performance and improved visibility
pertaining to the Company’s Travel Health business, with synergies
from a number of recent and near-term expected events as described
in the December 11 announcement.
Bavarian Nordic will hold the shares bought back
as treasury stock, for the purpose of adjusting the capital
structure and meeting the long-term obligations relating to the
Company’s share-based incentive programs for the Board of Directors
and Executive Management.
The share buy-back program is initiated pursuant
to the authorization granted at the annual general meeting on April
16, 2024, and in accordance with Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 (as
amended) of the European Parliament and of the Council on market
abuse and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052, which
together constitute the Safe Harbour Regulation.
Bavarian Nordic has appointed Danske Bank A/S as
lead manager to execute the share buy-back in accordance with the
terms of the program and with authorization to make trading
decisions independently and without influence of Bavarian
Nordic.

The share buy-back program will commence on January 9, 2025, and
will be completed by February 5, 2025, at the latest.

the price of the last independent trade, or the highest independent
