Wolters Kluwer announces that, in the course of executing on its share buyback program, the number of shares held in treasury has reached 15.1 million, or 5.00% of total issued ordinary shares. In accordance with regulatory requirements, the company has today notified the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM).

Part of the shares held in treasury will be retained and used to meet obligations under share-based incentive plans.

Share repurchases are being made as part of the three year (2016-2018) share buyback program announced in February 2016. Under this program, Wolters Kluwer intends to repurchase shares for up to €600 million, including anti-dilution share repurchases.
