Does BASF have a share buy back program?
In the first quarter of 2008, we repurchased 8.44 million shares for a total of €743 million for an average price of €87.99 per share. Following the deduction of 3.3 million shares that were bought back and are earmarked for cancellation, the total number of outstanding shares was 469.7 million on March 31, 2008. As of that date, BASF has repurchased shares for a total of €2.64 billion as part of the 2007/2008 €3 billion share buyback program. We will continue with our share buyback program after the current program is completed.
The goal of our share buyback is to increase earnings per share and further optimize our balance sheet structure.
For further details on our pogram please refer to Share buyback
