ZURICH, Switzerland — On February 9, 2026, ABB launched its previously announced new share buyback program of up to $2.0 billion. Based on the current ABB share price, this represents a maximum of approximately 23.2 million shares. The maximum number of shares that may be repurchased under this new program on any given trading day is 685,156.
The total number of ABB’s issued shares is 1,843,899,204. This includes 20,744,831 shares that were repurchased under the 2025 share buyback program and are expected to be cancelled in Q2 2026. ABB will use its capital band for the cancellation of these shares. ABB currently owns approximately 26 million treasury shares.
The new share buyback program is for capital reduction purposes and will be executed on a second trading line on the SIX Swiss Exchange (Valor: 35.767.961; ISIN: CH035 767 961 9). It is planned to run until January 27, 2027.
The new share buyback program will be managed by two successive banks mandated by ABB that, based on trading parameters received from ABB, will make their trading decisions concerning the timing of share repurchases independently of ABB. ABB can change these parameters outside of its closed periods and if it is not in possession of any inside information.
The purchase price per share will not exceed the higher of the price of the last independent trade on the ordinary trading line on the SIX Swiss Exchange and the highest current independent bid price on the ordinary trading line on the SIX Swiss Exchange. In addition, customary spreads on purchases on the second trading line on the SIX Swiss Exchange will be paid, observing the limitations of the Ordinance on Financial Market Infrastructures and Market Conduct in Securities and Derivatives Trading (FMIO). Payment for the shares will be made in cash.
The buyback program is being carried out in accordance with the Ordinance on Financial Market Infrastructures and Market Conduct in Securities and Derivatives Trading (FMIO), the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 and the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 2016/1052. Weekly updates on the program will be published on ABB’s investor relations website at https://global.abb/group/en/investors/investor-and-shareholder-resources/share-buybacks and issued by press release.
