Kortrijk, Belgium, 16 September 2021, 07.00 hrs - Today Barco announces that, based on the authorization granted by the Extraordinary General Meeting of 25 April 2019, the company will launch a share buyback program. 

The company currently owns approximately 3.12% of its shares which it uses for stock options plans as part of its employee incentive plan. The company wants to use repurchased shares to replenish the pool of own shares for future stock option plans.
