RICHEMONT ANNOUNCES THE END OF THE SHARE BUY-BACK PROGRAMME INITIATED IN MAY 2014 AND THE LAUNCH OF A NEW PROGRAMME
Richemont’s three-year share buy-back programme announced on 15 May 2014 ended today.
Under the programme, the Company repurchased a total of 5 185 000 ‘A’ shares, representing
0.9 % of the capital and 0.5 % of the voting rights of Compagnie Financière Richemont SA.
Richemont’s share purchase history can be found on the Company’s website at:
https://www.richemont.com/investor-relations/share-buy-back-information.html
In addition, Richemont announces a new programme to buy-back up to 10 million Richemont
‘A’ shares through the market over the next three years, representing 1.7 % of the capital and
1.0 % of the voting rights of Compagnie Financière Richemont SA.
Purchases will be effected through ‘A’ share purchases on SIX Swiss Exchange at prevailing
market prices. The ‘A’ shares acquired will not be cancelled and no second trading line will be
introduced as a consequence of the buy-back programme. The ‘A’ shares to be acquired will be
held in treasury to hedge awards to executives under the Group’s stock option plan.
Richemont currently holds 9.4 million ‘A’ shares in treasury as a consequence of previous buy-
back programmes, which were also linked to the Group’s stock option plan. Those shares
represent 1.6 % of the capital and 0.9 % of the voting rights of the Company.
