On 25 January 2024, Nokia announced that its Board of Directors is initiating a share buyback program to return up to EUR 600 million of cash to shareholders in tranches over a period of two years. The first phase of the share buyback program started on 20 March 2024. On 19 July 2024, Nokia decided to accelerate the share buybacks by increasing the number of shares to be repurchased during the year 2024. The post-increase repurchases in compliance with the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) 596/2014 (MAR), the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 and under the authorization granted by Nokia’s Annual General Meeting on 3 April 2024 started on 22 July 2024 and end by 31 December 2024 with a maximum aggregate purchase price of EUR 600 million for all purchases during 2024.

On 28 June 2024 Nokia announced the acquisition of Infinera against a consideration which Infinera shareholders may elect to receive in cash, Nokia shares, or a combination of the two. As this offer is now formally extended to Infinera shareholders, applicable regulations prohibit Nokia from executing share buybacks. Consequently, the next buybacks under the programme will happen after the Infinera shareholders’ special meeting, expected to take place on 1 October 2024, and continue in line with the accelerated timeframe of the programme as announced on 19 July 2024.

Total cost of transactions executed on 16 August 2024 was EUR 8,840,629. After the disclosed transactions, Nokia Corporation holds 156,942,280 treasury shares.

Details of transactions are included as an appendix to this announcement.
