EQS-Adhoc: Deutsche Börse AG: Deutsche Börse AG resolves a share buyback program of €500 million in 2025

As part of the capital allocation principles refined under the Horizon 2026 strategy, the Executive Board of Deutsche Börse AG, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, has resolved to again launch a share buyback program of €500 million in 2025 (excluding incidental acquisition costs). In accordance with the capital allocation principles and in light of the significant excess liquidity, the share buyback complements the planned dividend distribution.

The share buyback program is based on the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting of Deutsche Börse AG on 14 May 2024 to buyback own shares. The share buyback will be carried out in accordance with the safe harbour rules set out in Article 5 of the EU Market Abuse Regulation (Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014).  The repurchased shares are to be cancelled.
