INVL Baltic Real Estate will buy back some of its own shares

The real estate investment company INVL Baltic Real Estate intends to buy back some of its own shares using a reserve formed for that purpose.

The decision to begin a buyback of INVL Baltic Real Estate was made by the management company INVL Asset Management, the leading alternative asset manager in the Baltics. The shareholders of INVL Baltic Real Estate authorized the company to purchase its own shares and approved the terms for doing so in late April 2024.

The share buyback will take place 4-10 December. A maximum of 100,000 shares of INVL Baltic Real Estate will be acquired (or 1.2% of its authorized capital). The maximum purchase price is EUR 2.50 per share.

As the share buyback will be conducted on a Dutch auction basis, if demand is strong, the price may be lower. If more shares are offered than the company seeks to buy back, then under Dutch auction rules the 100,000 shares offered at the lowest price will be purchased, paying all sellers the same price set by the exchange’s algorithm.

On 2 December, the price of INVL Baltic Real Estate’s shares on the stock exchange was EUR 2.28.

The real estate investment company has an unused reserve of EUR 2.5 million for buy back its shares. The plan is to allocate EUR 250,000 from that reserve for this share buyback.

“The purpose of repurchasing shares is to reduce the company’s share capital by cancelling the shares acquired. This process gives shareholders a chance to realize all or some of their shares. When the company’s number of shares decreases, the remaining shareholders obtain a larger part of the company’s assets and future profits without investing any more personal funds,” says Vytautas Bakšinskas, the real estate fund manager at INVL Asset Management, which manages INVL Baltic Real Estate.
