Boku, Inc.
("Boku" or the "Company")
Extension of Share Buyback Programme
Boku (AIM: BOKU), a global network of Local Payment Methods (LPMs), announces that its board of directors ("Board") has resolved to increase its authority to repurchase common stock from 5% to 10% of its common stock with par value of $0.0001 per share in the capital of the Company ("Common Stock"), and to hold such Common Stock in Treasury. Such authority will expire on publication of Boku's full year results for the year ended 31 December 2026, expected in March 2027.
The Company currently holds 12, 217,022 Common Stock in Treasury, representing approximately 3.71 per cent. of the total Common Stock in issue.
As announced on 2 June 2026, Boku completed the first tranche of 4,000,000 Common Stock of its latest buy- back programme, launched on 17 March 2026, and extended the programme to purchase up to a further 4,000,000 Common Stock. As at the opening of trading at the date of this announcement, 2,161,040 Common Stock of the second tranche of 4,000,000 Common Stock has been purchased.
The Company is now pleased to announce that the Board has approved a second extension to the current share buy-back programme, to repurchase up to a further 8,000,000 Common Stock (in addition to the remaining capacity of the second tranche). Such authority will expire on the completion of the programme or the date of the issue of Boku's full year results for the year ended 31 December 2026, whichever is the earlier (the "Buyback Extension").
The Company has instructed Investec Bank plc, the Company's broker, to conduct the Buyback Extension on its behalf. The Buyback Extension will be effected within certain pre-set parameters, including that the maximum price paid per Common Stock shall be 105 per cent. of the trailing five day average mid-market price, and in accordance with authority granted by the Company's Board to hold up to 10% of the Common Stock in Treasury. (the "Authority").
Due to the limited liquidity in the issued Common Stock, a buyback of Common Stock pursuant to the Authority on any trading day may represent a significant proportion of the daily trading volume in the Common Stock on AIM and may exceed 25 per cent of the average daily trading volume. Accordingly, the Company will not benefit from the exemption contained in Article 5(1) of the UK version of the Market Abuse Regulation (Regulation (EU) No 596/2014) as incorporated into UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018.
