- Symrise completed the program between February 2 and October 28, 2026.

Symrise AG completed its 400 million euro share buyback program as planned, according to a company announcement published by EQS News on Monday, November 2, 2026. The disclosure covered purchases made through October 28 and marked the end of the program launched on February 2.
The program bought back 4,863,147 shares for an aggregate 399,999,873 euros, equal to 3.5% of Symrise's share capital. The volume-weighted average purchase price was 82.25 euros per share, excluding transaction costs. Symrise said the purchases were executed through stock exchanges or multilateral trading systems by a commissioned credit institution.
Final purchases completed the mandate
In the closing period from October 26 through October 28, Symrise acquired 78,429 shares for 7,608,695 euros. The final tranche carried a volume-weighted average price of 97.0138 euros per share. Purchases on Xetra accounted for 49,343 of those shares, with the remainder executed across AQEU, CEUX and TQEX, according to the announcement.
The completion removes the near-term execution risk attached to the program and gives investors a clear final tally for the capital-return measure. It does not, by itself, change the company's operating outlook or establish a new earnings forecast. The financial effect for shareholders depends on the eventual earnings contribution of the lower share count and on the price paid for the repurchased stock.
