Share buyback program of up to USD 1.2 billion
On November 1, 2023, Tenaris’s Board of Directors approved a share buyback program of up to $1.2 billion (which, at the closing price of November 1, 2023 on the Milan Stock Exchange would represent 75.4 million shares, or 6.4% of Tenaris’s outstanding shares), to be executed within a year, with the intention to cancel the ordinary shares acquired through the program.

The program will be divided in tranches and purchases will be executed through a primary financial institution.
The buybacks may be ceased, paused and continued at any time, subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
Tenaris will provide updates on the buyback program via press releases and on this corporate website. The buybacks will be carried out subject to market conditions and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including the Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014 and the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052.
