RWE decides on share buyback program with a volume of up to EUR 1.5 billion

The Executive Board of RWE Aktiengesellschaft has resolved today a share buyback program with a volume of up to EUR 1.5 billion. The buyback is to begin this year and be completed within 18 months, subject to a new authorisation by the Annual General Meeting on 30 April 2025 to buy back own shares. It is intended to cancel the repurchased shares.

The buyback program is based on the authorisation granted by the Annual General Meeting on 4 May 2023, which authorises the company to acquire shares in the amount up to 10% of the share capital until 3 May 2025. The company intends to propose a new authorisation to buy back shares to the Annual General Meeting on 30 April 2025. The acquisition is to be processed using the ‘safe harbour’ exemption for buyback programs in accordance with Article 5 of the Market Abuse Regulation (Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014).
