Ericsson Completes Share Buyback Program Phase

STOCKHOLM, Sept. 7, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- During the period from August 31 to September 4, 2026, Ericsson conducted a series of share buybacks, repurchasing a total of 105,668,676 Class B shares. This repurchase is part of the company's larger share buyback program, which was announced on April 16, 2026. The program aims to repurchase up to SEK 15,000,000,000 worth of shares, with the buyback period running from April 23, 2026, to March 31, 2027.

Ericsson has implemented these buybacks in accordance with the Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 and the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052, commonly known as the Safe Harbour Regulation. The acquisitions were executed on the Nasdaq Stockholm stock exchange by Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE on behalf of Ericsson. A detailed breakdown of the transactions is available upon request.

As of September 4, 2026, Ericsson's treasury stock holdings stand at 105,668,676 Class B shares. The company currently has a total of 3,371,351,735 shares outstanding, comprising 261,755,983 Class A shares and 3,109,595,752 Class B shares. The buyback program is designed to reduce the company's share capital and improve the capital structure, potentially benefiting shareholders.

The repurchased shares, excluding those used to fulfill obligations under Ericsson's share-related incentive programs, are intended to be canceled. The Board of Directors plans to propose this action to the 2027 Annual General Meeting, where shareholders will have the opportunity to vote on the matter.

Ericsson's share buyback program reflects its ongoing commitment to optimizing its capital structure and enhancing shareholder value. The company continues to focus on delivering high-performing, programmable networks that provide connectivity for billions of people daily.
