Vopak announces share buyback program to return up to EUR 100 million to shareholders



Rotterdam, the Netherlands, 19th February 2025



Today, Vopak announces the start of a share buyback program to return up to EUR 100 million to shareholders. The share buyback program will start 20 February 2025 and will run until the end of 2025, barring unforeseen circumstances. Vopak will cancel these shares subject to the relevant board and shareholder approvals. The share buyback program will be executed pursuant to the safe harbour regime of the Market Abuse Regulation and under the existing authority granted at the 2024 Annual General Meeting on 24 April 2024, and, subsequently, the authority (if granted) by the 2025 Annual General Meeting on 23 April 2025. Under these limits the share buyback program shall not exceed 10% of Vopak’s issued capital.



The share buyback program will be executed by an independent intermediary, allowing the execution of open market transactions during open and closed periods.



Vopak confirms the absence of any agreement with its existing shareholders regarding their potential participation in the share buyback program.



The share buyback program is separate from any share transactions Vopak may execute to cover obligations under the long term incentive programs for employees.



Vopak will provide weekly updates on the progress of the share buyback program through press releases and transaction details on Vopak’s website for the duration of the program.



This press release contains inside information as meant in clause 7 of the Market Abuse Regulation.
