share buyback program financial

"The share repurchases are a part of the share buyback program of up to SEK 15,000,000,000"

A share buyback program is when a company uses its cash to repurchase its own outstanding shares from the market, reducing the number of shares available to investors. That matters because it can raise the value of remaining shares and signal management's confidence in the business—similar to a bakery buying back unsold loafs to make each remaining loaf represent a larger share of its oven’s output—though buybacks can also affect cash available for other uses.

treasury stock financial

"Following the repurchases above, Ericsson’s holding of treasury stock amounts to 48,351,778 Class B shares."

Treasury stock is shares that a company has bought back from the public and kept in its own control rather than retiring them. Think of it like a company holding its own tickets in a drawer: those shares no longer vote or receive dividends while held, but the company can reissue or retire them later; this reduces the number of shares available to outside investors and can boost per‑share earnings and influence ownership and stock price.

Market Abuse Regulation regulatory

"executed in accordance with the Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 ... on market abuse (“MAR”)"

Market abuse regulation consists of laws and rules designed to prevent dishonest or manipulative practices in financial markets. It aims to ensure fair and transparent trading, so investors can trust that markets operate honestly, much like rules that keep a game fair. By reducing unfair advantages, it helps protect investor confidence and promotes healthy, efficient markets.

Safe Harbour Regulation regulatory

"the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 ... (“the Safe Harbour Regulation”)."

A safe harbour regulation is a legal provision that protects companies or individuals from certain penalties or liability when they follow specified rules or meet defined conditions, effectively creating a predictable carve-out from broader laws. For investors, it matters because it lowers regulatory uncertainty and potential legal exposure for firms that comply, similar to a traffic lane where following the signs keeps you from getting a ticket, and that clarity can affect risk assessments and valuation.

Class B shares financial

"repurchased own Class B shares (ISIN: SE) as follows"

Class B shares are one type of a company’s stock that carries a specific set of rights — often different voting power or dividend rules compared with other classes. For investors, that affects influence over company decisions and potential income: owning Class B might mean fewer or more votes per share or different claim on profits, like having a different seat at a decision table or a different slice of the payout pie.
