VIENNA (Thomson Financial) - Mayr-Melnhof Karton AG said the latest possible
conclusion date for its current share repurchase programme has been extended to
Nov. 7 2010.
In a press release, Mayr-Melnhof said there have been no other changes in
its plans to buy back up to 2.2 million of its own shares, or up to 10 percent
of its current capital stock.
Mayr-Melnhof said the programme will continue to be able to make use of both
off-market transactions and purchases on the Vienna Stock Exchange.
The Austrian manufacturer of cardboard and carton said the programme's
extension follows its approval by shareholders at the May 7 AGM, as well as by
the company's management and supervisory boards.
The stock repurchase programme had originally been scheduled to conclude no
later than Oct. 25 this year.
