The total cost of the shares bought back amounted to approximately EUR 6.66 million, with an average price of EUR 16.42 per share.

**Why this matters**
Share repurchase programs can impact a company’s capital structure and shareholder value by reducing the number of shares outstanding. Nordea’s ongoing buy-back reflects its strategy to optimize capital and manage remuneration, which may influence investor perception and the bank’s financial flexibility.
