Rosneft's Board of Directors has resolved to resume the Open Market
Share Buyback Program (hereinafter, the Program) and to extend its
implementation period until 31 December 2026. The maximum buyback
amount is not to exceed RUB 102,6 billion (USD 1.13 billion), which
is equivalent to the amount of funds not spent under the previous
stages of the Program.
The number of shares to be purchased in the open
market depends on market conditions at the time of the Program.
Having such an instrument will ensure support for securities in case
of high volatility in the market and create attractive opportunities
for increasing the Company’s shareholder value.
Active implementation of the Program came in the
first half of 2020 when amid the introduction of restrictions caused
by the spread of COVID-19, oil prices collapsed with a subsequent
drop in oil companies' quotations.
Extension of the Program for repurchasing own
securities demonstrates the Board's confidence in Company's
fundamentals and development prospects. As for acquired securities,
the Board will decide on them upon the Program completion.
The Company will make regular public disclosures
on the transactions made under the Program.
