Airbus launched the second tranche of its share buyback programme on November 25, 2024. The second tranche will result in 2.1 million shares being repurchased, with it expected to end no later than January 24, 2025.
The share buyback programme had initially been announced in September 2024. The programme was undertaken to support its future employee share ownership plan activities and equity-based compensation plans.
The programme is being executed in multiple tranches in the open market through March 31, 2025, for a maximum of approximately 4.3 million shares. The first tranche of the programme was completed on October 4, 2024, with 2.1 million shares repurchased.
Airbus has mandated an undisclosed investment firm to manage the execution of the second tranche.
The company's shares are listed on the Paris Stock Exchange, the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, and the Spanish stock exchanges in Barcelona, Bilbao, Madrid, and Valencia.
