Com Hem : repurchases own shares

The Board of Com Hem Holding AB (publ) today resolved to exercise the authorization to repurchase own shares that was given by the Annual General Meeting held today March 23, 2017 and to initiate a first share buyback program for a total amount of up to SEK 250 million up until July 10, 2017.

The Board of Com Hem Holding AB ('Com Hem' or the 'Company') has resolved that repurchases of shares are to be made on Nasdaq Stockholm and in accordance with Nasdaq Stockholm's Rule Book for Issuers up until the next annual general meeting at a per-share price within the registered interval for the going rate at any given time, which denotes the interval between the highest and lowest selling price. A maximum of 18,387,947 shares may be repurchased. The Company's holding of its own shares may not at any time exceed 10 per cent of the outstanding shares in the Company. Payment for the shares is to be made in cash.

This first buy-back program resolved upon by the Board shall meet the following terms:

1. Repurchases of shares are to be made on Nasdaq Stockholm and in accordance with Nasdaq Stockholm's Rule Book for Issuers and in accordance with MAR and the Safe Harbour Regulation.
2. Share repurchases can be made from March 24, 2017 to July 10, 2017.
3. Repurchases of shares on the Nasdaq Stockholm are to be made at a per-share price within the registered interval for the going rate at any given time, which denotes the interval between the highest and lowest selling price.
4. Shares for a total maximum amount of SEK 250 million may be repurchased.

6. Payment for the shares is to be made in cash.

Repurchased shares will reduce Com Hem's share capital by shares being cancelled, after a sufficient number of shares have been saved to be used under Com Hem's LTIP programs. The program is being carried out in accordance with the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 ('MAR') and the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 2016/1052 (the 'Safe Harbour Regulation'). The buy-back program will be managed by a securities company or credit institution that makes its trading decisions regarding Com Hem's shares independently of, and without influence by, Com Hem with regard to the timing of the repurchases.

The Company intends to, after this first buy-back program above expires on July 10, 2017, and up until the following Annual General Meeting, return with additional buy-back programs.

The total number of outstanding registered shares in Com Hem amounts to 188,950,640. Com Hem currently owns 5,720,842 own shares, of which the Annual General Meeting 2017 has resolved to cancel 5,071,161 shares.
