Bank of
Georgia Group PLC announces GEL 73.4 million buyback
programme
Bank of Georgia Group PLC (the
"Company" or the
"Group") announces today
that its Board of Directors (the "Board") has approved a GEL 73.4
million buyback and cancellation programme (the "Programme"). The Programme
is consistent with the Group's capital distribution policy to
target a dividend/share buyback payout ratio in the range of 30-50%
of annual profits.
The programme will commence shortly
and end no later than the Company's Annual General
Meeting 2025 (expected to be in May 2025) and the shares will
be purchased in the open market. The purpose of the buyback is to
reduce the Group's share capital, and the cancellation of the
treasury shares repurchased will be executed on a monthly basis.
The Programme will be conducted within certain pre-set parameters,
and in accordance with the general authority to repurchase shares
granted at the 2024 Annual General Meeting, Chapter 9 of the FCA UK
Listing Rules, and the provisions of the Market Abuse Regulation
596/2014/EU and of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU)
2016/1052 (as they form part of UK domestic law). The
maximum number of shares that may be repurchased under the
programme is 4,336,154. The Company has appointed Cavendish Capital
Markets Limited ("Cavendish") to manage the Programme.
During any closed periods the Company and its directors have no
power to invoke any changes to the Programme and it will be
executed at the sole discretion of Cavendish.
The Company will make further
announcements in due course following the completion of any share
repurchases.
