The acquisition of these shares serves the sole purpose of meeting obligations arising from an employee share programme of Aurubis AG within the meaning of Article 5 (2c) of Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014. The actual number of shares to be purchased up to the maximum volume of 22,000 will depend on the development of the share price of the shares of Aurubis AG during the above-mentioned buyback period.
