Ericsson Executes Significant Share Buybacks Between May 25 and May 29, 2026
During the period from May 25 to May 29, 2026, Ericsson, officially known as Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson, undertook a significant share buyback initiative involving its Class B shares. This decision aligns with the company’s strategy of enhancing shareholder value and is part of a broader share buyback program that was previously announced on April 16, 2026. Over these five days, Ericsson repurchased a total of 585,379 Class B shares, with the weighed average share price over these transactions being SEK 122.0988.

This total repurchase initiative represents a transaction value of SEK 71,474,085.55 within the specified period. The overarching share buyback program is set to continue until a maximum of SEK 15 billion is reached, running through until March 31, 2027, barring any potential adjustments.
Future Plans for Repurchased Shares
In line with the company’s planned agenda, the Board of Directors intends to propose during the 2027 Annual General Meeting that most of the repurchased shares should be canceled, with the exception of those that will be used to meet obligations related to Ericsson's share-related incentive programs. This move is likely to further solidify shareholder confidence in the long-term vision of the company.
Ericsson is adhering strictly to the Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 on market abuse and the supplementary Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052, which underline the safe harbor conditions guiding these repurchases.
