Eindhoven, the Netherlands – Signify (Euronext: LIGHT), the world leader in lighting, today announced the start of a program to repurchase up to 850,000 of its own shares. Signify will use the shares to cover obligations arising from its long-term incentive performance share plan and other employee share plans.

 

The program will start on February 24, 2022 and is expected to be completed in the second quarter. The 850,000 shares intended to be bought represent approximately 0.7% of the company’s issued share capital.
