AIB Group agreed with Ireland's finance department to launch a 1.2 billion euros buyback program ($1.36 billion).
The Irish lender on Thursday said that it agreed to make an off-market purchase of around 191.7 million ordinary shares at 6.2607 euros a share. This represents about 8.2% of the company's issued share capital.
Following the completion of transaction, the finance department will hold around 271.2 million warrants to subscribe for ordinary shares, representing approximately 12.7% of the company's issued share capital.
The buyback contract was approved by the company's shareholders at the annual general meeting, and the off-market purchase is expected to settle on May 9.
