The own shares acquired by the Company since the commencement of the Program carry a total of 9,657,023 votes at the general meeting of the shareholders, and represent 2.5% of the Company’s share capital, and a 2.5% share in the total number of the votes at the general meeting of the shareholders, thereby the Program’s target has been fulfilled.
Due to the repurchase of all shares intended to be acquired by the Company over the course of the Program, the Company informs herewith of the Program’s completion.
The above mentioned Program had been executed under the authorisation to repurchase in total up to 12.5% of Netia’s own shares, granted by resolution No. 18 of the Company’s shareholders meeting held on June 2, 2011 (see Netia’s current report No. 28/2011 dated June 2, 2011).
