Reacquired Lindab stock
| Source: Lindab International AB
Lindab's board of directors were authorized by the annual meeting in 2000 to reacquire a maximum of 960 000 Lindab shares, which corresponds to 4 percent of the total number of shares. Lindab has now fulfilled its mandate and reacquired the stock at an average price of 99.88 SEK per share, a total amount of 95,885,611 SEK. The program for reacquiring stock has resulted in an improved capital structure and increased return on shareholders' equity. Based on the annual accounts for 1999, but taking into account higher interest costs and tax effects, this means an increased profit per share of 0.20 SEK.
