Truecaller Completes Significant Share Buyback in Week 32 of 2025
In a strategic move to enhance shareholder value, Truecaller AB has successfully repurchased a total of 150,000 of its own B shares from August 4 to August 8, 2025. This transaction is part of a broader share buyback program that was officially initiated by the company's board of directors previously on May 30, 2025. The total shares acquired during this designated week represent about 0.04% of Truecaller's outstanding capital, reflecting a calculated approach to managing its equity structure.
Overview of the Share Buyback Program
Since the commencement of the buyback program, Truecaller has reclaimed 725,000 shares, amounting to around 0.20% of its outstanding equity. This buyback initiative underscores Truecaller’s intent to optimize its capital structure and return value to its shareholders. The program is set to continue until the Annual General Meeting (AGM) in May 2026, during which the board seeks to enhance its ownership without exceeding ten percent of the total outstanding shares at the time.
The B shares, which are characterized by voting rights, have gained attention in the market, especially with Truecaller’s share trading on Nasdaq Stockholm since October 8, 2021. The management is optimistic that this strategy will strengthen investor confidence and stabilize its market presence amid the evolving economic landscape.
