Unibet announces share repurchase

However no acquisitions will be made during a 30-day period prior to the publication of quarterly results, including the date of release.

The acquisition of shares/SDR´s will take place on the NASDAQ OMX Nordic Exchange in Stockholm, and will be based on market terms, prevailing regulations and the capital situation at any given time. Notification of any purchases will continuously be made to the NASDAQ OMX Nordic Exchange in Stockholm.

The objective of the buyback is to achieve added value for the company’s shareholders and to give the Board increased flexibility with the Company´s capital structure. Following repurchase the intention of the Board is to either cancel, use as consideration for an acquisition or issue to employees under a Share Option programme.

Once repurchased under the Maltese Companies Act further shareholder approval will be required if the shares are to be cancelled. If used in connection with an acquisition, the intention would be to issue the shares/SDR’s as consideration, and not to sell them first.

The total number of issued shares/SDRs in Unibet is 28,258,038 of which 190,975 shares/SDRs was repurchased by the company in 2007.
