Amadeus IT Group, S.A. ( (AMADY) ) has shared an update.
Amadeus IT Group has launched a share buyback programme of up to €500 million, aiming to acquire a maximum of 15,625,000 shares, or 3.468% of its current share capital, with the intention of cancelling those shares subject to approval at the next ordinary shareholders’ meeting. The programme runs from 3 March to 29 June 2026, is split into two tranches, and will be executed under strict EU market abuse regulations via Crédit Agricole CIB, signalling a commitment to capital return and potentially enhancing earnings per share for investors.
The first tranche allows purchases of up to €350 million by 29 May 2026, while the second tranche covers up to €150 million through 29 June 2026, with Amadeus retaining flexibility to suspend or terminate tranches if limits are met or conditions change. Amadeus plans a brief suspension of the first tranche to allow its French subsidiary to conduct a smaller buyback to satisfy employee share plans, underscoring parallel objectives of shareholder remuneration and staff incentives while ensuring all transactions are transparently reported to the Spanish securities regulator.
