Paradox Interactive Amends Terms for SEK 200 Million Share Buyback Program

Paradox Interactive AB, a video game developer and publisher, announced on August 5, 2026, an initial share buyback program valued at SEK 200 million (approximately EUR 18 million). The company's Board of Directors has now resolved to amend the execution terms of this program.

The revised conditions stipulate that DNB Carnegie Investment Bank AB, or another financial institution appointed by Paradox, will independently manage the trading decisions regarding the timing of share repurchases. This independent decision-making process is intended to ensure compliance with the EU Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) and related delegated regulations.

This adjustment to the share buyback program aligns its execution with "safe harbour" provisions. These regulations allow companies to repurchase their own shares without being presumed to possess inside information, provided certain conditions are met, thereby aiming to prevent market manipulation.

Paradox Interactive is known for its strategy game titles. The company's decision to implement a buyback program, especially under these regulated conditions, can influence its stock performance and capital structure. Further details on the specific implementation will be managed by the appointed financial institution.
