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 40,402,276 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.

Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 regulatory

"executed in accordance with the Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council on market abuse (MAR)"

A European Union law that sets rules to prevent insider trading and market manipulation by requiring timely public disclosure of confidential company information that could affect share prices, and by governing trades by company insiders and communication rules. It matters to investors because it helps keep markets fair and transparent—like a rulebook and referee for trading—so prices reflect publicly available facts and investors can trust markets are not being rigged by people with secret information.

Safe Harbour Regulation regulatory

"Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 of 8 March 2016 supplementing MAR (the Safe Harbour Regulation)"

Nasdaq Stockholm financial

"All acquisitions have been carried out on Nasdaq Stockholm by Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE"

Nasdaq Stockholm is the main stock exchange in Sweden where shares of Swedish and other Nordic companies are bought and sold; think of it as a large, regulated marketplace or auction house that sets prices by matching buyers and sellers. It matters to investors because where a company lists affects how easily its shares can be traded, how transparent pricing is, and whether the stock is included in regional indexes or funds that can drive buying or selling.

share-related incentive programs financial

"shares, other than those used to fulfil Ericsson’s obligations under its share-related incentive programs, are cancelled"
