One of Bure’s foremost goals is to generate a high and sustainable total return for Bure’s shareholders. Bure uses a number of shareholder-friendly measures that enable the shareholders to benefit from the value of Bure’s assets above and beyond the stock market’s valuation of the Bure share. Cash dividends entail the distribution of cash, while company distributions involve the distribution of shares in a specific company to the shareholders. Since 1993, Bure has distributed SEK 4.1Bn in cash as well as shares in the companies Capio, Observer (later Cision) and AcadeMedia for a value of SEK 5.2Bn on the distribution date – a total of SEK 9.3Bn.
Other types of distributions include share redemptions and share buybacks. In simple terms, this increases the value of the remaining shares. Over the years, Bure has carried out redemption procedures and buybacks of shares and warrants for SEK 3.6Bn.
Since the start, Bure has thus distributed a total of more than SEK 12.9Bn to its shareholders.
