The average price was thus 106.74 francs (closing price Monday: 74.08 francs), according to a statement on Monday evening.

Almost 14 million shares repurchased as part of the program had already been cancelled at the 2022 Annual General Meeting, 80 million at the 2023 Annual General Meeting and 50 million at the 2024 Annual General Meeting. The 2025 Annual General Meeting will therefore still decide on the cancellation of the remaining 43.5 million shares, according to the press release.
