Eni Board of Directors approves measures to begin buy-back programme

The purchases will start in the first week of June 2019 and will terminate within the month of December 2019.

San Donato Milanese (MI), 30 May 2019 – The Eni Board of Directors, in execution of the authorization granted by the Eni Shareholders’ Meeting of 14 May 2019 and within the terms announced to the market on that date, has approved measures to begin the 2019 share buy-back programme, in the maximum amount of €400,000,000 and up to a maximum of 67,000,000 shares.

The programme gives the Company a flexible option to give its shareholders an additional return beyond the distribution of dividends, in line with Eni’s commitment to a progressive shareholder remuneration policy linked to the growth in profits.

The purchases will start in the first week of June 2019 and will terminate within the month of December 2019.

In order to execute the programme, Eni will engage an authorised agent, who will purchase Eni shares on a fully independent basis, including with regard to the timing of purchases and in compliance with the daily price and volume limits. In particular, the price of each transaction shall not be more than 5% greater or lower than the official price registered by the Eni SpA stock in the trading session of the Mercato Telematico Azionario, organised and operated by Borsa Italiana SpA (“MTA”), on the day before each individual transaction and, in any case, shall not exceed the higher of the price of the last independent trade and the highest current independent purchase bid on the MTA.

Share purchases will be made on the MTA pursuant to Art. 144-bis, paragraph 1, letter b) of Consob Regulation no. 11971/1999 and in accordance with the additional conditions set out in the Eni’s shareholder resolution of 14 May 2019, as well as in compliance with Regulation (EU) no. 596/2014 on market abuse and Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052.

The amount of purchases for 2020 will be announced to the market during the strategy presentation at which the new 2020-2023 Strategic Plan will be illustrated.

At present, Eni holds 33,045,197 treasury shares, equal to approximately 0.91% of share capital, acquired during previous buy-back programs. Eni subsidiaries do not own shares in the Company.

Eni will announce the details of any purchases made to the market within the time limits and with the procedures required by applicable regulations.

How does EnergIA work?

EnergIA (ener'dʒia) is a system based on Generative Artificial Intelligence. Thanks to this technology, we can respond to your requests by querying the most relevant content and documents available on eni.com.

Through EnergIA, you can delve into topics of interest and have a real-time window into the world of Eni.
If you wish to search for a specific document, press release or news, use the traditional search engine via the magnifying glass icon.

Like all systems that leverage Generative Artificial Intelligence, EnergIA may generate inaccurate or outdated responses. Always consult the sources that EnergIA proposes as the origin of the generated information.
If the system fails to find an exact match for the requested content, it still tends to provide a response.
If you find any inaccuracies in the provided response, please send us your feedback at the bottom of the page: it will be very helpful for us to improve.

Remember that the content generated by the system does not represent Eni’s official position. We therefore invite stakeholders to refer to their designated contacts for official statements: Press Office for journalists, Investor Relations for analysts and investors, Company Secretariat for shareholders etc..

EnergIA can understand questions posed in almost all languages, but we prefer to provide you with a response in English or Italian, the two languages available on eni.com. If you ask a question in Italian, the content on the site in Italian will be consulted. If you ask it in English or any other language, the content in English will be consulted. (Note: the language Eni uses for financial documents/content is predominantly English.)

If questions are formulated that violate the set security criteria, the system will not proceed with processing the response. Please remember not to send personal data.
