ASM announces start of €150 million share buyback program

ASM International N.V. (Euronext Amsterdam: ASM) today announces the start of a share buyback program of up to €150 million of ASM common shares.

This program follows ASM's announcement on March 3, 2026, that the Management Board authorized a share buyback program of up to €150 million.

The program commences today, August 10, 2026, and will continue until the aggregate purchase price of the shares acquired by ASM reaches €150 million, but ultimately by December 2026.

The share buyback program will be conducted within the limits of applicable laws and regulations and the authority granted by ASM's Annual General Meeting held on May 11, 2026.

The program will be executed by an independent third party.

ASM intends to use the repurchased shares to cover existing and expected future obligations under its share-based compensation programs for employees and board members.

ASM will update the market on the progress of the share buyback program on a weekly basis, starting on August 17, 2026.

This information will also be published on ASM’s website (www.asm.com).
