Heineken Holding N.V. Reports Transactions Under Its Current Share Buyback Programme
Heineken Holding N.V. Reports Latest Transactions Under Share Buyback Programme
Amsterdam, 19 January 2026 – Heineken Holding N.V. (EURONEXT: HEIO; OTCQX: HKHHY) has disclosed detailed information about recent share repurchases carried out under the first tranche of its ongoing share buyback programme, reaffirming its strategic commitment to returning value to shareholders. This update covers transactions executed from 12 January 2026 through 16 January 2026.
Programme Background and Objectives
The share buyback initiative forms part of a larger two-year programme launched on 12 February 2025, in which Heineken Holding N.V. plans to repurchase up to approximately €750 million worth of its ordinary shares. This effort is aligned with similar repurchase plans by its subsidiary Heineken N.V., where Heineken Holding participates pro rata based on its shareholding.
The programme aims to optimise the company’s capital structure, potentially enhance earnings per share and ultimately create value for long-term shareholders. All buyback transactions are conducted under strict regulatory compliance with applicable European Union market abuse and safe harbour regulations.
Transaction Details: 12–16 January 2026
During the most recent reporting period:
- A total of 159,495 shares were repurchased on the exchange at an average price of €61.08 per share.
- Including prior weeks, the cumulative total of shares bought back under this programme now stands at 5,286,356, with a total spend of approximately €329,203,283.
This reflects continued execution and progress under the first tranche of the buyback plan, which itself is part of the broader €750 million envelope.
How the Programme Works
Heineken Holding N.V.’s share buyback is being executed on a weekly basis, with updates published every Monday on the company’s investor relations website. Share repurchases are carried out on the open market to maintain liquidity and flexibility in timing and pricing.
Once acquired, these repurchased shares are typically cancelled, which reduces the company’s issued share capital. Reducing outstanding shares can support future earnings per share performance and help improve return metrics for investors.
