Truecaller B Share Buybacks Exceed 5% Threshold in July 2026
Truecaller Expands Share Buyback Program in July 2026
In a significant move that underscores its commitment to enhancing shareholder value, Truecaller AB (publ) announced the repurchase of 5,270,000 of its own B shares in the week spanning July 20 to July 24, 2026. This action marks a pivotal moment for the company, as it has exceeded the 5% ownership threshold of all shares in the company.
Details of the Buybacks
The total share repurchased represents 1.56% of Truecaller’s outstanding capital. The initiative comes following the authorization given to the Board of Directors at the 2026 Annual General Meeting, allowing them to buy back B shares until the 2027 AGM. This provision enables the Board to ensure that Truecaller does not hold more than 10% of its own shares at any time.
This buyback program commenced on June 15, 2026, and aligns with the guidelines set forth by the financial regulatory authorities in Sweden. The details of the share acquisitions for the week are as follows:
