Munich Re resolves share buy-back

In the period commencing after the 2017 Annual General Meeting and extending up to the 2018 Annual General Meeting, Munich Re intends to buy back up to 11 million shares for a maximum purchase price of €1bn.

On the basis of the authorisation granted by the Annual General Meeting on 27 April 2016 or a future authorisation, Munich Reinsurance Company’s Board of Management has resolved to buy back up to 11 million shares for a maximum total purchase price of €1bn (excluding incidental expenses) in the period between 27 April 2017 and, at the latest, the Annual General Meeting on 25 April 2018. On the basis of the current share price (status: 14 March 2017), this would amount to around 3,5 % of the share capital. The own shares acquired under the 2016/2017 share buy-back program in the period from 09 June 2016 to no later than the Company's Annual General Meeting on 26 April 2017 are to be retired.
