UniCredit S.p.A ("UniCredit", "The Company") informs it has received ECB authorization for the execution of the first tranche of the 2024 share buy-back programme for a maximum of Euro 1.7 billion.
The approval was based on financial information provided by UniCredit that demonstrated a robust position in stress scenarios. UniCredit's CET1 ratio of 16.2% as of 30 June 2024 already reflects this distribution.
Together with the proposed 2024 interim dividend and the 2023 distributions already executed this year, 2024 calendar year distribution shall reach circa Euro 10 billion, or a total yield of over 16% solely through capital generation and hence without denting CET1. This confirms UniCredit's ability to provide shareholders with attractive and sustainable distributions while maintaining capital strength.
The share buy-back - for which all relevant approvals have been received - is expected to commence as soon as possible, subject to market conditions.
