Compagnie Financière Tradition Shareholders Approve Capital Reduction and New Buyback Program Shareholders at the Ordinary General Meeting on 21 May 2026 approved all proposals submitted by the Board of Directors.
The meeting approved a reduction of share capital through the cancellation of 101,066 treasury shares acquired under the August 2023 share buyback program.
The Board renewed the share buyback program for up to 300,000 shares for capital reduction purposes, starting 2 June 2026, with a three-year term.
These decisions indicate continued use of buybacks as a tool to manage the share count and capital structure, with shareholder backing for the Board’s approach.
For investors following CFT, the renewed authorization and explicit focus on cancelling shares are developments that may be worth tracking, as actual buyback activity and execution terms will influence the impact on per-share metrics over time. Upcoming Dividend • May 19
