EADS Appoints Broker To Manage Share Buyback Programme
EADS has entered into an agreement for the independent management of its 18-month share buyback programme with a broker (“Investment Services Provider”) under the “safe harbour” regulations of the French Autorités des marchés financiers (AMF).
Under this mandate, EADS has instructed the broker to purchase on EADS’ behalf a number of EADS shares not exceeding 43 million from 17 April 2013 to 31 July 2013.
Going forward and subject to market conditions, EADS intends to implement similar mandates as applicable until the end of the share buyback programme decided by the EADS Board of Directors on 2 April 2013 (as described in the EADS press release dated 2 April 2013).
