Danske Bank shares are being sold on a continuing, pro-rata basis by APMH Invest A/S in connection with the bank’s share-buyback programme, Danske Bank said in an October 19, 2026 disclosure. The notification concerns reportable transactions under the EU Market Abuse Regulation, rather than a newly announced disposal programme.
Key Takeaways

- The notification text does not specify the seller’s transaction volume, price or remaining holding.
- Separately, Danske Bank reported DKK 121.9 million of repurchases for October 12–16.

Danske Bank shares sold alongside the buyback
Notification no. 84/2026 states that APMH Invest continuously sells shares pro rata in connection with Danske Bank’s repurchases. It places the activity within the reporting framework for transactions by persons discharging managerial responsibilities and people or entities closely associated with them.
The bank identified the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority and Nasdaq Copenhagen as the recipients of the required transaction reporting. It directed readers to attached transaction templates for further details.
The notification text does not provide the number of shares APMH Invest sold, its execution prices or its resulting ownership balance. The disclosure therefore establishes the ongoing sales arrangement, but does not quantify the seller’s latest reduction in shares or establish a separate motive for selling.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Programme announced | February 5, 2026 |
| Repurchase period | February 9, 2026 to January 29, 2027, at the latest |

Weekly repurchases show the programme’s progress
Danske Bank’s separate week 42 buyback announcement records purchases of 345,147 shares for DKK 121,925,906 during October 12–16, 2026. Those are the bank’s aggregate repurchases, not a measure of APMH Invest’s sales.
By the end of that week, cumulative purchases under the programme had reached 9,913,717 shares at a gross cost of DKK 3,390,635,986. The bank said those shares represented 1.215% of its share capital.
The programme’s DKK 4.5 billion spending limit is an announced ceiling, distinct from the amount already spent. Its scheduled end date is also a deadline rather than confirmation that purchases will continue until that day.
Conclusion
The disclosure links APMH Invest’s sales to the existing buyback without quantifying its latest transactions in the notification text. The confirmed programme timetable runs to January 29, 2027, at the latest, subject to its announced limits.
