Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ) has continued executing its previously announced share repurchase initiative, further reducing the number of outstanding Class B shares as part of its broader capital allocation strategy.

Between 20 April and 24 April 2026, the company actively repurchased its own Class B shares (ISIN: SE0000108656), with transactions carried out on Nasdaq Stockholm through Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE acting on Ericsson’s behalf. The buybacks form part of a larger program announced on 16 April 2026, which authorizes repurchases of up to SEK 15 billion and is scheduled to run through 31 March 2027 at the latest.

During the most recent trading days reported, Ericsson acquired a total of 2,400,000 Class B shares over two sessions. On 23 April 2026, the company repurchased 1,200,000 shares at a weighted average price of SEK 106.74, resulting in a total transaction value of SEK 128,090,040. The following day, 24 April 2026, an additional 1,200,000 shares were acquired at a lower weighted average price of SEK 104.65, corresponding to a total value of SEK 125,577,480. Across the two-day period, the aggregated transaction value amounted to SEK 253,667,520.

The buyback programme is being conducted in accordance with the EU Market Abuse Regulation (Regulation (EU) No 596/2014) and the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052, which provide the regulatory framework for so-called “safe harbour” share repurchase arrangements.

Ericsson has indicated that, following completion of the programme, repurchased shares—excluding those reserved for the company’s share-based incentive schemes—are intended to be cancelled. This proposal is expected to be presented to the 2027 Annual General Meeting for approval.

As a result of the latest transactions, Ericsson’s treasury holdings now total 40,402,276 Class B shares. The company’s total share capital consists of 3,371,351,735 shares, comprising 261,755,983 Class A shares and 3,109,595,752 Class B shares.
