On April 23, 2025, SBM Offshore revealed the successful completion of its €130 million share repurchase program, initiated in March 2024. The program involved repurchasing a total of 7,978,332 shares at an average price of €16.29 per share. This program was funded through the company’s own resources and primarily aimed at reducing its capital while supporting its management and employee share programs.

New €141 million share repurchase program

In parallel, SBM Offshore announced the commencement of a new €141 million ($150 million USD) share repurchase program, effective from April 24, 2025. The main objective of this program is to reduce capital, but it will also be used to provide shares for regular management and employee programs, for a maximum amount of $25 million USD. The remainder of the repurchased shares will be cancelled. This program is expected to be completed by February 26, 2026.

Execution of the program and repurchase conditions

The program will be executed under the terms specified in an engagement letter with a third party, in compliance with the safe harbour provisions for share repurchases. Transactions may be carried out during closed market periods. SBM Offshore will update the market on the progress of the program through weekly press releases, as well as via updates on its website.
