Richemont announces a new programme to buy back up to 10 million ‘A’ shares, representing 1.7 % of the capital and 1.0 % of the voting rights of the Company.

Purchases will be effected through ‘A’ share purchases on SIX Swiss Exchange at prevailing market prices. The ‘A’ shares acquired will not be cancelled and no second trading line will be introduced as a consequence of the buyback programme. The ‘A’ shares to be acquired will be held in treasury to hedge awards to executives and employees under the Group’s long term incentive plan. The initiation of the buyback programme is subject to the authorisation of the Swiss Takeover Board.

Richemont currently holds 4 million ‘A’ shares in treasury. Those shares represent 0.7 % of the capital and 0.4 % of the voting rights of the Company.
