Bavarian Nordic Repurchases Shares in DKK 250M Buyback Program
Bavarian Nordic is buying back shares worth up to DKK 250 million between Sept. 1 and Oct. 30, 2026, under EU market-abuse safe harbor rules.
Bavarian Nordic A/S, the Copenhagen-listed biotechnology company trading on OMX under the ticker BAVA, disclosed transactions carried out under a share repurchase program that began September 1, 2026, and runs through October 30, 2026. The company has authorized buybacks totaling up to DKK 250 million over that two-month window.
The repurchase activity is being executed in compliance with European Union market-abuse regulations, specifically Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052, a framework commonly referred to as the Safe Harbour Regulation. That framework sets strict procedural conditions under which listed companies may buy their own shares without running afoul of insider-trading or market-manipulation rules.
