TrygVesta has decided to extend the length of the share buy back programme that was initiated on 4 April 2008 and planned to run until the day before the release of the Annual Report 2008 that is 3 March 2009. In the past two months the daily traded volume of TrygVesta shares has been lower than anticipated, and consequently the share buy back programme could have undesirable impact on the share price in the shorter term. It has therefore been decided to extend the share buy back programme until the day before the annual general meeting that is 22 April 2009. The total share buy back programme is DKK 1,405m and including bought shares up until Friday 30 January 2009 at 17.00 CET, an amount of DKK 222m remains to be bought.
