DSV's accumulated share buy-back in the period from 21 February 2012 to 23 April 2012 thus total 1,577,216 shares at a total purchase price of DKK 200.0 million. The share buy-back programme announced has now been concluded and the shares bought back will be used partly to hedge the Group's incentive programme. At DSV's general meeting it will be proposed that shares not used for hedging of the incentive programme will be cancelled.
At DSV's Annual General Meeting on 21 March 2012 a resolution was passed, following a recommendation by the Board of Directors, to reduce the share capital by a nominal amount of DKK 2,000,000 through the cancellation of 2,000,000 treasury shares, corresponding to 2,000,000 voting rights. At the expiry of the four-week time limit on 18 April 2012 no claims had been filed requiring satisfaction or provision of security, and the reduction of the share capital was completed and registered on 18 April 2012. Consequently, the share capital of DSV has a nominal value of DKK 188,000,000, divided into 188,000,000 shares with a face value of DKK 1, corresponding to 188,000,000 voting rights.
As of today, DSV A/S holds a total of 3,253,166 shares of a face value of DKK 1 in DSV A/S, corresponding to 1.73% of the total number of issued shares as of today of 188,000,000.
The latest announcement dated 12 April 2012 stated that DSV A/S held 2.72% of the Company's share capital at that time.
