Central Puerto approves $30M share buyback

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Central Puerto S.A. (CEPU) approved a share repurchase program allowing the company and/or its subsidiaries to acquire its own shares for up to US$ 30,000,000. The Board states this is intended to protect shareholder value, noting that the trading price does not, in its view, reflect the fair value or economic potential of its assets.

The program is limited to a maximum of 10% of share capital, and daily purchases may not exceed 25% of the average daily trading volume over the prior 90 trading days. The maximum price is US$ 16 per ADR on the NYSE and AR$ 2,600 per common share on Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos. Purchases will be funded from unrestricted optional reserves, and the company states it has sufficient liquidity to do so without affecting solvency. The repurchase window is 180 calendar days from the business day after market publication, subject to possible renewal. Directors, supervisory committee members and managers are barred from selling company shares they own or manage, directly or indirectly, while the repurchase decision is in effect.

American Depositary Receipt financial

"The maximum price to be paid shall be US$ 16 per American Depositary Receipt"

An American depositary receipt (ADR) is a certificate that represents shares of a foreign company traded on U.S. stock exchanges. It allows investors to buy and sell parts of a foreign company's stock easily, much like purchasing shares of a company based in their own country. ADRs make international investing more convenient and accessible for U.S. investors.

Capital Markets Law No. 26,831 regulatory

"pursuant to Article 64 and subsequent articles of the Capital Markets Law No. 26,831"

optional reserves financial

"unrestricted reserves arising from optional reserves pending distribution"

Applicable Regulations regulatory

"in accordance with the limits established by the Applicable Regulations"

average daily trading volume financial

"up to 25% of the average daily trading volume of the share"

The average daily trading volume is the typical number of shares or units of a security that change hands each trading day, calculated over a set period. It tells investors how active a market is—like average traffic on a road—so higher volume usually means easier, faster trades and smaller price swings when buying or selling, while low volume can make orders harder to fill and cause bigger price moves.

It is hereby stated that the Company has sufficient liquidity to carry out the aforementioned acquisitions without affecting its solvency;

(vii) Term during which the acquisitions will be carried out: the Company shall acquire shares within a period of 180 calendar days, commencing on the business day following the date of publication of the purchase through the market communication media, subject to any renewal or extension of such period, which shall be disclosed to investors through the same means; and
