Share Buyback 2008


April 10, 2008 - The share buyback of SMARTRAC N.V. has been concluded. The buyback program started on February 4, 2008, and was conducted via the stock exchange. SMARTRAC had authorised a bank to conduct the share buyback.

In the course of the share buyback, an overall number of 220,170 shares have been bought back at an average price of approximately EUR 34.06 per share with a total value of EUR 7,499,762.22. This means that SMARTRAC currently keeps under its own stock close to 2.14 percent of a total of 13,500,000 issued shares of the company. This includes shares from a previous share buyback.

The SMARTRAC Management Board intends to utilise the shares from the buyback in the context of acquisitions as well as for the company’s own employee share programs.

According to a decision made at the SMARTRAC Annual General Meeting on June 22, 2007, the Management Board is authorized to repurchase and acquire up to a maximum of 10 percent of the company’s issued share capital. With the current share buyback, the Management Board will make use of this authorisation.

The share buyback took place in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No. 2273/2003 of 22 December 2003 implementing Directive 2003/6/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards exemptions for buy-back programmes and stabilisation of financial instruments.
