By repurchasing these shares, the cybersecurity enterprise brings an end to its share buyback program classified as Class B. WISeKey initiated the program three years ago.

About the Share Buyback Program
The Class B designated share buyback program commenced three years ago in the month of July 2019. The intention behind this initiative was to form a reserve for possible acquisition and merger activity.
In addition to that, WISeKey wanted to create convertible loans, share-incentive initiatives for employees and equity lines available on demand.
