ASM International began a new share buyback program on Wednesday, November 11, giving investors a fresh capital-return focus during a strong week for the Dutch semiconductor equipment maker. In a release carried by GlobeNewswire, the company said the program will cover purchases of common shares and be executed by a third party.
Repurchases target compensation obligations
ASM said the program reflects its cash position and financial performance and forms part of its policy of returning excess cash to shareholders. The repurchased shares are intended to cover existing and expected future obligations under share-based compensation programs for employees and board members.
The program will end when its aggregate purchase price reaches the authorized limit, but no later than October 2027. It follows the completion of an earlier buyback in September 2026.
