Share buyback
On April 1, 2025, ArcelorMittal completed the 85 million shares buyback program it announced on May 5, 2023 under the
authorization given by the annual general meeting of shareholders of May 2, 2023 and continued under the April 30, 2024 annual general meeting of shareholders authorization. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, ArcelorMittal had repurchased 6.8 million shares for a total value of €189 million (204) at an average price per share of €27.82 ($30.05).
On April 7 2025, ArcelorMittal announced the commencement of a new share buyback program with share repurchases to be conducted in tranches that may be announced through May 2030. Repurchases under the first tranche of the program, which is for up to 10 million shares, commenced immediately, under the authorization given by the annual general meeting of shareholders of April 30, 2024, and subsequently under the authorization of the annual general meeting of shareholders held on May 6, 2025. The actual amount of shares to be repurchased in various tranches pursuant to the program will depend on the level of post-dividend free cash flow generated over the period (the Company’s defined policy is to return a minimum of 50% of post-dividend annual free cash flow), the continued authorization by shareholders and market conditions. The shares acquired under the program are intended primarily to reduce ArcelorMittal’s share capital, to meet ArcelorMittal’s obligations arising from employee share programs and/or to meet such other purposes as announced at the time of each tranche. At June 30, 2025, ArcelorMittal had repurchased 2 million shares for a total value of €51 million (58) at an average price per share of €25.74 ($29.25).
