Ascom capital reduction formalizes the share cancellation
The company’s capital reduction announcement confirms that the repurchased shares have now been cancelled, rather than simply retained by Ascom. Each remaining registered share has a nominal value of CHF 0.50.
At that nominal value, cancelling 3 million shares reduces registered share capital by CHF 1.5 million. That is distinct from the amount Ascom spent buying the shares in the market: nominal share capital is not a measure of the company’s market value.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Buyback purchase value | CHF 13.4 million |
| Nominal capital cancelled | CHF 1.5 million, calculated from 3 million shares at CHF 0.50 each |
| Registered share capital after cancellation | CHF 16.5 million |
From the June buyback completion to October cancellation
Ascom launched the buyback on May 30, 2025, and announced its completion on June 19, 2026. It repurchased 3 million registered shares, equivalent to 8.3% of all outstanding shares, on a second trading line on SIX Swiss Exchange for a total purchase value of CHF 13.4 million.
At the time, the board intended to cancel those shares using the capital band provided for in the company’s articles of association. The October announcement confirms that this subsequent step is complete; it does not announce a new round of share purchases.
Conclusion
The October 23 announcement closes the cancellation stage of Ascom’s completed buyback. It provides no timetable for another repurchase program or further capital reduction.
